Some how over the years on Mother's Day weekend I've ended up not seeing my mom on actual Mother's Day but we see each other the entire day before. We went downtown to the big city Farmer's Market and we get a bunch of plants for our yards/gardens and split them up. When we got back we went back to her shed and green house and inside she had a bunch of old egg trays filed with seedlings. Since … [Read more...]
I’m sick of being fat.
By 58 Comments
I almost left this post titleless. In fact this is the fourth time I've written this paragraph because well, really, who wants to admit we're fat? I wasn't always fat either and I still wouldn't call myself obese. At least I don't think. I'd like to consider myself pleasantly plump. I'd also like to tell you that I'm happy with who I am and what I look like but then I'd be lying to both of … [Read more...]

I'm never the early girl. I'm always chasing my tail and showing up late. Horrible. I know. Even when I'm early something will happen and I end up late. So when it comes to gift giving I like when you find a great gift that is put together without taking a ton of time to put together. If that's you and you're still scratching you're head in this last hour of shopping time for Mom make sure to … [Read more...]
Farberware 3-Piece Open Skillet Set {Review & Giveaway}
By 292 Comments
I love to cook and bake. There is something so therapeutic about trying out a new recipe, and tasting as you go along; adding a little of this and that to eventually have a delicious end result. (Especially if the end result includes chocolate!) Or cooking and eating that meal you have had a million times, but there is something so comforting about it you make it over and over. Mmmmm... Yes I … [Read more...]
Buddy and The Nature Trackers from Readers Digest Children’s Books {Review & Giveaway}
By 51 Comments
My 4 year old son, Hayden, is busy. Super busy and super smart. He loves imagining and pretending. I am often not "mommy," but a robot, super spy, or a train conductor. His favorite new thing to be is a "master of disguise." I love it; I love that he is using his brain and being so creative. It is difficult sometimes finding things to keep his brain going though, and encouraging him to learn … [Read more...]

I love that we live close to the bike trail. They finished it at the end of last summer and this year we are really putting it to good use! I've been learning how to run on it every night and this weekend we dusted off all the bikes and hit our Manhan Bike Trails. Sawyer was not thrilled with his helmet but it's a must. Isn't he the cutest little thing? I love that all the … [Read more...]
