Inappropriate Elves and Bacon and Such

Inappropriate Elves and Bacon and Such

Lots of both holiday and normal business around here lately.  Stella stayed home with me today and we blew up Pinterest.  As in we checked off at least 3 items I had pinned in the holiday craft department.  We need some little hands (Charlotte & Henry) to finish up a few things tomorrow, but look

The Good Life – A Reminder "from" Ali

The Good Life – A Reminder "from" Ali

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

The Questions Never End…At Any Stage

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

The Time Change Isn’t All Bad…

The Time Change Isn’t All Bad…

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. And by this evening after a long day at daycare, my kids were exhausted.  Plus, we switched to Mondays for swim lessons.  And it was a transition week…new

Friday Random Thoughts

Friday Random Thoughts

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

It’s a Miracle!

It’s a Miracle!

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

Veggie Pizza

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

Friday 7 Quick Takes

Don’t forget #6…it’s worth it.  Unless you have only one kid.  Then I probably offended you.  I’m back. I’m tired.  Shouldn’t a break from blogging, a vacation to Sedona, etc. have made me rested, refreshed, rejuvenated?  Huh?  Ha!  My Charlotte has been in panties for an entire WEEK.  YAY!  And only 2 accidents at home

Random Updates before Arizona

Just a few random thoughts before I check out for our trip to Sedona…  First, I really hope Charlotte is potty-trained when we return.  But, what are the chances?  Yes, you should not compare your children and timelines, etc.  But, come on already!  Her latest development is hiding when she poops.  And below is where she

Checking In – Crafts, Messes, and Dresses

We’ve had a pretty busy week.  I’ve definitely missed posting every day and have actually had some good topics to post about…so I’m taking notes.  But it’s been nice to dedicate some time to other things.  Such as sleep this order for a hair bow holder and a Green Bay korker bow and a Detroit

Top 10 Reasons for a Blogging Break

Top 10 Reasons for a Blogging Break

It may be time for a blogging break.   So much is going on right now and I need to give myself permission to not worry about blogging…every day.  It’s not like I do this for money!  Whenever I skip a day blogging I feel a bit of angst.  Anyone else experience that?  Like all of you
