Even after 11 years I see new things and understand my husband more and more. Little things that just make me think “yep, this is why I love you.” This morning was one of those of those times. He took Mason to his basketball league early this morning. Yes, it made Mason’s day but I […]
1. We officially have two 5 year olds in the house. I say officially because 2 weeks ago we unofficially celebrated their birthdays with a bowling party. That’s right ten kids bowling. Both Brian and I were out of town on their actual birthday (who does that!?!) so when the calendar means nothing to you […]
Who goes to Hawaii for a long weekend? Oh! That would be me, thanks to my awesome parents. That’s right 4 days to see my brother compete in the World Championship Ironman. I wouldn’t recommend Hawaii for just a long weekend because of the severe jetlag I am experiencing right about now. Not that I […]
Whatever it is, it will pass. It’s not worth the worry, the fear, the time and energy spent. It’s a phase. It’s a stage. They will grow out of it…and then be onto something else soon enough. That floor you just mopped that now has OJ spilled all over it.? It’s okay. It was bound to […]

Amazing deal on this grey bowl at Target, $4.58! It’s grey AND at Target…there was no will power. Love. This is girls old dresser. The drawers have fallen out but I’m holding on to it because I know there is some way I can repurpose this into something funky and beautiful. Therefore, I wait for […]
Yesterday was THE day. THE day we’ve all been waiting for. The girls went to preschool! As some of you know our start day was pushed back for several reasons several times. This caused much discomfort around here. Ok maybe more for me than them. What can I say, after 7 years of having at […]
