Home Remodeling In mid-2019 we decided it was time to update our laundry room which is also our kitchen pantry. One of the previous owners had installed built-in shelves, but they were starting to sag and had no adjustability. The shelves were stationary and couldn’t move up or down. Some of them were super deep
Book Bums Adds Afternoon Story Time!
I just recently discovered the wonderfulness of Book Bums. If you are local and have not yet checked it out…what are you waiting for? They have so much to offer, but that post is for another day. Today I am super excited to report that they are adding an afternoon story time on Thursdays. Henry
Seasonal Books – Fall
Last week Henry and I spent an afternoon decorating the house for fall and Halloween while the girls were in school. And, yes, I still swap out our books based upon the season. So out came a bin of fall, harvest, and Halloween books. Henry looked through them for a long time. It kept him
Is Your House Still Frozen Or Has It Thawed?
In a recent discussion, a friend was telling me that the Frozen stuff was STILL hard to find in stores. And her daughter STILL wanted an Elsa doll for Christmas. So I’ve been keeping my eyes out for her and others. Today I ran into Walmart looking for a specific hamper for Charlotte’s new room.
Have You Been BOO-ed?
We live in a fun neighborhood. It really is crazy how everyone knows everyone (somewhat) and you really can send out a need to our Neighborhood Moms Group and get multiple replies within minutes.

Henry’s Baseball Room

I thought he would suddenly switch his adoration to football and basketball…all sports in general. Nope. This kid LOVES baseball and mainly baseball. He will sit through a 9-inning game…and watch the entire game without complaint.
Roasted Butternut Squash
Butternut squash can seem intimidating. It’s really not that complicated. This simple recipe is one of my fall favorites. It all caramelizes together in the oven. So yummy!

Wildtree Skillet Meals – A Pantry Staple!
It was about a year ago when I was introduced to Wildtree and their concept of the Freezer Meal Workshop. I even admitted then that I was a naysayer. Well, a year later and I am a total advocate for these products. BUT I do NOT sell them. So this isn’t even a sales pitch!
Easy Potato Soup
Another fall favorite in our house? Soups! Yesterday was the perfect day to throw together this Easy Potato Soup in the crock pot and let it simmer all day. This one is actually super easy and tastes delicious. Save Print Easy Potato Soup Ingredients 4 cans of diced potatoes (or 2 large cans) 1½
Old West Festival
Since we were headed to the Old West Festival my girls carefully picked out the perfect shirts – ones with horses on them. And of course they wanted to wear boots. My girls are just too cute in their cowgirl boots. And when they received new hats (the opening weekend special) at the entrance of
