If you follow my social sites like Instagram or Facebook (which I hope you do!) you'll know I'm really big about my gardens. Next year we're doing a big overhaul and they will be 6x the size it is now. I've been having the kids make Handprint Garden Stepping Stones to place along the walk ways of all the raised beds. There are several ways to make these and we've been making all different … [Read more...]

I hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween! I can't believe another Halloween has passed! We had a whole week of holiday fun! First we had the challenge of getting Sawyer to put on his Halloween costume. Of course with his deep love of Mickey we only thought it would be fitting that he get a Mickey costume. We found this awesome one at Babies R Us! How cute is he once he was convinced putting it … [Read more...]

I can't believe it is September! I feel like summer just started but instead it's ending. I'm sitting here thinking of all the things I said would be done by now and all the things I want to get done this fall.

I feel like sometimes I'm the only mom that doesn't know how many days it is until her kids go back. Not because I haven't checked it out on my calendar but because I dread the idea of my boys leaving me. If I'm going to send them off I at least want to make sure that they look good. By following my social channels you can clearly tell I just have the best time dressing Sawyer is the cutest … [Read more...]

We have multiple … [Read more...]

Talk about a late post! Things have been super crazy around here but I really wanted to make sure to share our Christmas. I love looking back through the years at special moments with my children and I would be sad to have no memory of our Christmas together on my blog. We received MANY Christmas cards. Three times this much. Next year I need to find a new system or at least another one … [Read more...]
Happy 13th Birthday Johnny

I can't believe MY BABY is 13!! When did he go and grow up? I swear one day I blinked and he went from being a sweet lil' baby to this amazing kid. I call him my big boy now. He says he's a young man. I refuse to admit it. I just cannot use the word MAN when talking about MY BABY. Sadly, we lost almost all his photos from under age 5 when our home burned down but I was able to find this one … [Read more...]

I love this time of year. Clearly not for the weather but because my kids let me take tons of pictures of them. I have such a hard time coordinating clothing for them though since Sawyer is in toddler sizes, Gavin in big kid sizes, and Johnny is officially in adult sizes. I suppose I could start with one favorite outfit of the kids and then track all over the mall finding all the coordinating … [Read more...]
