Earlier in October I happened upon Thrifty Decor Chick’s They’re Baaaack! post and loved what she did to her staircase. So I pinned it! And then I headed to Meijer to get some wooden acorns (50% off!) and then to Michael’s to see what Martha Stewart items were left. No mice cut-outs, but spiders. And have
I’m sitting at my computer crying my eyes out tonight. Out of heartbreak. For a woman and her family. A woman I don’t even know. Ali. Her story has been all over Facebook lately, particularly here locally. Ali died last week. From cancer. She was only 31. And had a loving husband and a 1-year
Image Source They begin at the very beginning and are around for every stage of life. The questions that can be oh. so. annoying. And how old are you? What do you want to be when you grow up? Where are you going to college? Do you have a boyfriend? What is your major? Do
Boy our weekend was rough. Time change, snotty noses, teething baby, toddler tantrums, long car trips, road construction, late nights, too much sugar…I could play the blame game for hours.

This “photo” was posted today on Facebook and it definitely made me laugh. Not sure of the actual origin. I particularly liked one comment, “We should start an Occupy Christmas movement…” However, whatcha might not know is that I’m the one that LOVES to get my Christmas shopping finished (or at least
Lately, I’ve come across quite a few cool videos on the web. Mainly thanks to a great co-worker (THANKS). So today I thought I’d share a few I think are really worth watching. First in the spirit of Halloween is the Party Rock Anthem Light Show. Who has time to do this?? Next up is
I haven’t posted anything grand lately. Heck, I’ve just been BUSY. (But aren’t we all?) Fall is one of my favorite times – pumpkin farms, jumping in leaves, and all the other numerous festivities. I’ve also been traveling some for work and Charlotte has been such a handful at night that by the time she’s finally
So last week I shared with you the Top 10 Things I’m really anal about when it comes to my kids. Click HERE to revisit those. I then promised you that I’d share the things I don’t care about this week. Some of them I really should care about more, but I just don’t. Or
This afternoon we attended our church’s Young Families Grill Out. It was so much fun and I forgot to take even one photo! Bummer. All I have for you is the updated recipe (I did take photos of that) for the Veggie Pizza that is always a hit. Click HERE for the recipe. Stella was
