That’s What Friends Are For

That’s What Friends Are For

Photo from Amazon.com Last night Charlotte picked out this book to be read as part of our bedtime routine.  I love this book.  The girls love this book.  When I was pregnant with Stella I had a baby shower.  However, instead of cards, those invited were asked to bring a book and sign it for

Summer is Here!

It’s been in the 90s here this week and I love it. As always, this has been a crazy week and therefore, lacking of posts. This year we contemplated joining our neighborhood pool, but in the end, decided to wait. And here is why, in photos… Who needs the pool when our backyard is heaven

Spring Soccer

Spring Soccer

I am not sure how I am going to survive being a parent of three kids and all of the activities that go with it.  I am not a fan of a lot of extra-curriculars.  For many reasons.  However, I do LOVE our soccer program.  Basically because it’s only one hour a week.  That’s it. 

Our House Has an Echo

Our House Has an Echo

Today is the day!  The floors are going to be installed.  You can catch up on this project HERE if you have no idea what I’m talking about. So, of course, the kids LOVED how the front two rooms echoed yesterday.  That didn’t get annoying real quick. Here are the before photos. Empty Dining Room.

Last night’s Dinner That Would Kill Their Kid was another success.  I have to admit that Andy’s pad thai was one of his best.  And the cookies?  Oh yum.  Oh yummy, yum.  I’ll post the recipe later this week, I promise.  And we also put out some other peanut goodies.  Although some treated them as

Here I go again.  Another Kroger rant.  Feel free to click HERE to see my first Kroger post a couple of weeks ago.  Or feel free to just come back tomorrow when I’m in a happier place.  HA.   So, the remodel seems to be complete at the Kroger nearest my house.  And here are

Time for a Big Boy Room

Time for a Big Boy Room

The hardwood floors aren’t even down yet and I’m already thinking of the next house project! It’s somewhat hard to imagine I won’t need a nursery again.  But I’m also getting excited about being able to finally transform that room into something else.  Since we used the same nursery decor for all three kids, I’m

A Hairy Situation

A Hairy Situation

I am the last person you want to ask about hair care.  Seriously.  But I’m still going to give an opinion on here today about shampoo.  This is solely my opinion for nothing in return.  Neither of these companies contacted me, etc.   When I was in high school I remember using Salon Selectives.  Remember

Mother’s Day Weekend

Mother’s Day Weekend

I’m one lucky momma.  We had a great Mother’s Day weekend.  It all started Friday evening.  Actually Friday morning Stella was VERY concerned about who was going to pick her up from daycare.  She did NOT want me to pick her up at all.  I didn’t get it at first, but then she explained that
