We’re an outdoor bunch! My kids and I would rather hike in the woods, play sports and just in general be out of the house. In the fall especially, we get out as much as possible before the weather turns and we’re forced to hibernate. One of the downfalls of living in the Midwest. {smirk} …
I appreciate each and every single one of you more than you know. When I started this journey of blogging five years ago I had no idea where it would lead me and how much I would love it. So today, I give thanks for all of you… my readers. Thank you for allowing me …
I’m taking a small break from talking about parties and crafts today to talk about something very important and dear to my heart: child hunger. Did you know that one in five children in America are food insecure? One in five! This number breaks my heart and brings tears to my eyes. And it’s not neglected …
My baby boy turned eight years old today… and honestly… I’m struggling with it a bit. Eight is a big number. Half-way to driving… {heavy sigh} Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy for him. He’s growing up and he’s such an amazingly happy kid. He brings laughter into our lives everyday. I’m just a bit …
Hi friends. So my oldest turned nine this week. Nine years old. That’s not really that old is it?! They still like us in public and still respect us when we talk to them. Life is good. Then it hits you that nine is half way to 18… half way to him being legally an adult. …
Hey ladies! Okay, I’m giddy. I’m heading to this year’s I Heart Faces Photography Conference for Women! Woo Hoo! It’s going to be amazing! It’s this October in Ohio. For those of you know me, you know I live in Ohio so I want to be the first to tell you that the change of seasons …
Dusk Blue is a Pantone color for Spring and not only did it inspire my Monday morning hue… it also inspired Vern Yip when he designed a limited edition Diet Pepsi can! Isn’t it darling with the peacock! These are all the things that will keep me focused and on task this jam packed Monday ~ cotton… …
I’m a reader. I have boys. I want them to be readers… And we all know that boys are less likely to keep reading (when not forced) than girls. That is why I started from the moment they were born. Reading together every night for at least 20 minutes in our house is not only …
When I was a kid there was no DVD (no VHS until I was about 9…) and there was no TIVO or record on demand. Needless to say, if you wanted to watch something (on the three channels that we got) you had better plant yourself in front of the television on time. The Wizard of …
Hey everyone! I’ve more than enjoyed a bit of downtime with the family over the past few days. It has been amazing. And yes, as you can tell from my holiday card this year, I’m one of those people that is sending out a New Years holiday photo card instead of a Christmas card. The primary …
