Thanksgiving is so close! It is so close that I can pretty much smell the turkey, homemade rolls, and pumpkin pie. Yum-my. I am so excited to enjoy Thanksgiving with my family. We live states away from our extended families so being able to celebrate a holiday with them is a really big deal for us. Country Crock sent me another great kit for their Casserole Club. Again I … [Read more...]
Happy 13th Birthday Johnny
By 8 Comments
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...]

Get Ready for Christmas with Hallmark! {Christmas Holiday Prize Pack}
By 103 Comments
I am so excited about Christmas. It's taking everything for me to not start decorating already. I have started cleaning up the house and hiding away gifts in corners and closets. I've started drooling over custom Christmas Cards and and began nagging for my husband to put up the porch lights before the snow comes and he can't. Like last year, sigh. Of course when the holidays roll around one … [Read more...]
Change Your Clocks, Change Your Batteries! {Energizer Giveaway}
By 91 Comments
Sometimes it feels like it was a lifetime ago and then I go looking for something and it hits me. My house burned down and we lost everything. Everything I owned previously to 2007 sits in a tub out in the shed. It can't come inside because it reeks of smoke and is damaged. They are photos and scrapbooks from years ago I can't bear to part with but can't really keep either. Since that day I've … [Read more...]
WW – Blueberry Pancakes
By 27 Comments
Over the weekend we had blueberry pancakes. I made a ton of batter and filled it with the yummy blueberries we picked by the pound over the summer. I laid them out on cookie sheets and placed in the freezer until frozen and firm. Then placed in freezer bags and in my deep freezer. Now I'm just a minute from pancakes (that I KNOW what they are made from) and I don't have to do all the … [Read more...]

Rock Your Holiday Fashion with Gymboree’s Family Looks {$75 Gymboree Gift Card Giveaway!}
By 264 Comments
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...]
