There are some members of our family I don’t think I have talked much about. I don’t really have a great reason, either. Their names are Sampson and Emma, our two English Mastiffs. My husband first got Sampson over seven years ago as a little pup. And a year later, got Emma. Emma wasn’t expected […]

Gwyn started her dance class a few of weeks ago which consists of both ballet and tap. While I never took dance as a child, it was something I thought Gwyn would just love with all the prancing around the house she does. As I began to shop around for the dance attire […]
Last week The Hubby and I took a (kidless!) trip to San Diego to help celebrate two of our best friends uniting as one. We were there less than three days but it was such a beautiful, fun and memorable trip and I can’t help but share these (non-professional phone) pictures, mostly displaying the gorgeousness […]
Hello! It’s another what they wore Wednesday up on the blog today where I share with you what the kiddos wore this week, where I found their clothing, and what discounts may be currently available at the stores I shop. Who doesn’t love a good sale? Sweater-Old Navy Yellow v-neck- Old Navy […]
Something pretty cool happened this week. Monday was the birthday of Grandma DePell. We lost this special lady less than a year ago, maybe you remember this post. So, Monday started off a bit somber.

The moment I found out we were having a girl, I broke out in tears. Happy tears. Very happy tears. Not only because I knew I always wanted to have a girl at some point, but because let’s be honest, there are just so many cute girl’s clothes out there that are hard to resist. […]
I went to a mom’s group last week for the first time in this new city and the topic of coping mechanisms came up. As the women at my table and I went around introducing ourselves, we shared what our coping mechanism was when we became stressed. Some women said lighting candles helped. Some said […]
A few weeks ago I decided Gwyn needed a little “something” to help motivate and remind her of the daily “chores” she needs to accomplish. I also wanted to start teaching her more about responsibility, so I decided on making her a chore chart. I gathered some card stock, stickers and markers and was ready […]
