After School Snacks: Finding Freedom Friday

August 27, 2009

I don’t know about the rest of you, but when my children arrive home from school, they are starving! Some days it feels as if it’ll take a horse to fill them up. I really don’t mind if they eat junk some days, but not every single day of the week. In the last year, [...]

Finer Things: Children’s Joy

March 20, 2009

I absolutely love it when my children draw me pictures or make me a craft of some sort. They are always so proud of what they do and more than eager to show it off. My two boys could draw, color, or craft all day long, every day of their life if they were allowed [...]

My baby girl has turned 7, and I cannot believe it! Where has the time gone? Her birthday was actually in the middle of February, but with Valentine’s Day and other craziness, we weren’t able to have Kaitlyn’s “friend” party until last weekend. It was well worth the wait. We went with a Hannah Montana/pamper [...]

Taking it For Granted

February 20, 2009

I love my job. I really, really do. There are days that I just feel overwhelmed by all my housewife-ly mommy duties–but honestly I wouldn’t change it for a second.

January 29, 2009

**Edited to add link to spongebob cake** I love making cakes. It all started after my oldest’s 1st birthday. His babysitter was a cake maker, so she offered to make his cake for free. I was elated, until I seen the cake. I don’t know what she did, but it didn’t look like Blue Jean [...]
