A better life

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 […]

What she wore Wednesday- tutus and tap shoes

    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 […]

The gorgeously vintage wedding of two of our best friends

Last week The Hubby  and I took a (kidless!) trip to San Diego to help celebrate two of our best friends uniting as one.

One to celebrate

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.  It’s difficult losing someone you respect and love so much. And those kinds of anniversaries can be hard. But then […]

This mothering thing

Sometimes… Sometimes I wonder if I am cut out to do this mothering thing. A day, much like one I recently had, will happen that makes me question if I know what the heck I am doing. I needed about eight items from the grocery store. Eight. A simple in-and-out kind of trip. And I […]

What they wore Wednesday

I love to dress the kids in clothing that is versatile, fashionable and affordable! But, that isn’t always easy. So, I keep my eye out for deals, sales and coupons. And I try to buy pieces that can be worn in multiple ways.   Top- Nordstrom Rack- I love this top! Lacy in the front, […]
