I needed some greenery around the house without the obligation of having to water live plants, because in all honesty, I am a plant killer. And once I saw a few topiaries at Pottery Barn, I knew they would do the trick. Problem was, I was not willing to spend $189 on ONE of them. […]

It’s July!?!? June absolutely flew by. So much has happened within a month that I can barely keep track of the days. June began with Gwyn’s Minnie Mouse third birthday party at the park that first weekend. Then, unexpectedly, The Hubby had an interview in Spokane, about an hour and a half from where […]
It is no secret that The Bachelor and The Bachelorette are two of my favorite shows. My guilty pleasures. Let’s just say my Mondays are pretty much made when these shows are in season. I like to offer my input/observations every now and then during the season, and maybe even offer my predictions as to […]
The Fourth of July was a little bit different this year as we usually go to Twin Lakes, but it was just as fun and memorable as always. This trip, though, will hold a special place in my heart as it was the first time the kids experienced the ocean and we were surrounded by […]
For the Fourth of July this year we are spending a few days at the coast with our family. While I dread the drive, I look forward to relaxing with our loved ones, eating delicious food and seeing the world through our children’s eyes as they experience the ocean for the first time. We are […]
Jackpot Casserole is something my brother-in-laws recently made for my kiddos and they LOVED it. It’s simple, easy to make and I am guessing called Jackpot Casserole because it’s such a hit with the little ones. We made it while visiting my parents recently and once again, a hit. Ingredients: 1 TB olive oil […]
(Composed late last night) I am tired. I sat down to write a post for tomorrow but my mind is mush. We just got home from being “on the road” traveling now for the past three weeks…and I just added it up and we were in the car with our two kids for over FIFTY […]
It’s been a while since I have done a What Went Down Wednesday. This is where I record what happens for an entire day. While sometimes hard to remember to write everything down, I enjoy doing this in hopes that when I re-read these someday, I will have an accurate description of what life was […]
My darling boy is a hair hoarder. There. I said it. Since he was an infant, he has always loved holding my hair and sucking his thumb. It’s been comforting to him, and I found it quite endearing. Well…. he still does it, and he’s even resorted to finding hair on the ground, picking it […]
If the day has gotten away from me and I need to whip up something quick for my kids, I throw together these Pizza Rollups. They take about three minutes to assemble and are ready in another eleven. Fifteen minutes and you’ve got something decent for the kiddos. Both of my kids enjoy these so […]
