• When Mom is Out for the Count

    This week was supposed to be one of celebration. Kids love Birthdays, and when it’s moms, it’s always a fun time where they get to have cake and go out to a fancy restaurant. But, this week it’s been anything but fun. Yes, my Birthday was Monday, and my husband had planned a great dinner […]

  • Book Review: Girl, Wash Your Face!

    Guys, I have been wanting to read this book for so long! Santa, of course, forgot to bring it, so I went ahead and ordered it from Amazon last week. I started the book the day I got it, and 3 days later I was done! Seriously! Even with 3 kids, I was able to […]

  • It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year…

    Or so people say it is… Me? It’s still up for a vote. I find it to be the most stressful, hectic, crazy time of the year. This year, we’re going to my parent’s house for Christmas, so I needed to be really prepared ahead of time. I ordered and had all the gifts shipped […]

  • Hi, it’s me.

    Hard to believe it’s been 8 months since my last post!! I’ve literally made lists of what I should be posting about, and then (not surprisingly) life got in the way of my posting. Since my last post we’ve moved into our newly renovated — still working on it — will probably never complete it […]

  • It’s Been a While

    So, it’s taken me a while to get back to writing. Life’s been hectic! Since my last blog post, we had a baby girl (Chiara Mae) and moved out of our house. It’s been an emotional rollercoaster for me, I loved renovating and designing each room in our home – from the molding to countertops, […]

  • It is an Inconvenient Truth

    Yesterday Nic went to the library in town and took out a bunch of movies for us to watch. The kids have been into music, especially by reading the “Who Was? Books.” We’ve dug into Who are the Beatles?, Who are the Rolling Stones?, Who is Bruce Springsteen?, and Who is Michael Jackson? so far. […]

  • My Passion Project

    So, this month has just been a little insane. There is a lot going on around here, and I’m honestly just trying to stay afloat (more to come on that later)! This year I made a commitment to read one book a month, i.e. complete 12 books this year. I used to be an avid […]

  • A Week to Go Down in History

    Wow. What a week it has been. I don’t know that I’ll even be able to explain the roller coaster ride of emotions I’ve been through this week. Excitement, disbelief, fear, faith, hope, wonder. You name it, I felt it. Basically, about a month ago we went on a trip to Maine using a groupon-type […]
