I think we’ve all said it… “Why don’t these kids come with a manual?” Usually it’s at a point of exasperation or after having done something the absolute worst way possible. Kids don’t come with a manual. You’re pretty much going to mimic the same parenting techniques your parents used (good or bad) and you …

This week our family is moving and I’ve finally come to the conclusion that I do not like it. In my mind I always think it will be fun. An adventure. It it neither fun, nor an adventure. It’s a lot like birthing a child though. Lots of anticipation. Little squee’s when you find the …

I’ve been watching the sewing shows on PBS and doing YouTube research on French seams for weeks so I could make this dress for my daughter’s 4th birthday. I needed to have it done by tonight, but I kept procrastinating because I was afraid I would make a wreck of it and feel like a …

I’ve been down and out for almost a full week now. So sorry I haven’t been able to keep up with Christmas or the New Year. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. I’m not a big New Year’s Resolution kinda gal, but this year I am actually making some serious changes in my …

Last week I caught the tail end of a series of concerned posts from a mommy-friend of mine. I didn’t see any of her first few concerned posts because my news feed was full of *HOT* deals and couponing tips. It wasn’t until I happened to catch one of her last few posts about her …

I’m slowly, but steadily getting the piles of boxes unpacked. During this process, I’m taking a few extra seconds to purge items that we no longer need. I’ve been meaning to go through the kids’ clothes to get rid of the terminally stained/torn items that I would prefer to never see again. I’m also removing …

We moved! My family has moved, that is. We found a cute house right down the street from Target! I didn’t mean to move closer to Target, but I’m being honest when I say, my husband keeps talking about how close I am now. Even he knows that deep down inside I am ecstatic to …

THIS is sure a touchy topic at our house! We have grandparents, siblings, uncles, cousins, and more on both my husband’s side and mine. There are always people who want to visit or be visited during the holiday season. It’s nearly impossible to see everyone and if we do we’ll be run ragged and miss …

Tonight I was doing my final walk through the house, checking door locks, turning lights off, and peeking in on my girls like I do every night. And, of course, I can’t help but notice and make note of all the little things around my house that are not where they are supposed to …
