I’m going to miss the Holiday season and all the excitement that comes along with it. Looking for Reindeer in the garden is much more fun at Christmas time while being dressed in Santa suits. And I’m going to miss watching the kids act out scenes from The Grinch. But really, if I have to play Max one more time… Keep Reading
embrace the camera {Resolutions}
I make a New Years Resolution every year. Very rarely do I keep them, but I make them nonetheless.

So the living room is pretty much done except for installing the sliding barn doors onto the kids playroom and the doorway to the cold cellar.

The Lorax.

You know that one book that you can resight word for word…well this is the book in our house. I have said countless times that I wished they… Keep Reading
Today was a sewing day.
Sewing days only happen about four times a year and only when I really need to get something accomplished. I let the kiddos run around like wild animals dumping out every single toy while making the biggest mess you have ever seen. They can snack when they want, play play-doh all day and just do whatever they want just as… Keep Reading
