Utilizing Closet Space
My son’s closet has been a catchall since he was born! I stored items in his closet that did not belong and truly I didn’t need anymore (fabric samples, blankets, etc.) This week I had my first day without kids home and instead of lounging, watching movies, and eating bonbons (only in my dreams!), I Read More
Old-Fashioned Fun!
Today winds down our summer! It’s bittersweet. Although I love to watch the kids grow, it’s hard to think they’re growing up! What have I learned this summer? I have learned that there is absolutely nothing better than old-fashioned fun! The school year means schedules, activities, homework, alarm clocks, etc. And I’m determined to keep Read More
A Thanksgiving Story!
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I debated whether or not to continue posting about the holiday.

Growing up, Mother would stay home to pass out candy, and Daddy would take my brother and I door to door. Great memories! Now we do Read More
“Cars” Birthday
Over the weekend, we celebrated Daniel’s 3rd birthday (his actual big day is this coming weekend)! We plan months in advance when it comes to birthday parties around here. Daniel decided on a “Cars” theme awhile back. Of course on Saturday he boasts, “I want a monster truck party!” This was his first “friend” party. Read More
All Those Who Labor…
All those who labor deserve a break! I’ve always enjoyed Labor Day weekend. It’s a time designated for rest, relaxation, and family gatherings. It’s a break from the mundane routine of work or school. Handyman Husband loves this weekend for the latter plus it’s the first opportunity for him to go hunting (He was hoping Read More
