Well, so much for my goal to blog regularly! Ha! Can I blame it on the fact I’m 8 months pregnant? Or maybe that I like to hang out with my boys? Or that I’m busy not doing the dishes?
I have a lot of fun things to share. Coming right up. Promise.

Even though I didn’t really plan anything awesome for the 4th of July, I pulled out a pack of glow sticks while we watched fireworks and it made me instantly popular with the kiddos.
It’s a good idea to always have a secret stash of glow sticks.
Spring time is birthday season at our house. I decided to let the kiddos have birthday parties with friends every other year. So this was our friend party year.
Max wanted a race car theme with red and orange. Done.
We tied an orange balloon to each chair. I covered the table with brown kraft paper (the [...]
We ate our first batch of green beans at dinner last night. Oh, there is nothing yummier!
Tomatoes are growing.
Something came and ate ALL of my marigolds. In one night. Really bummed about this, but every year I learn something new and this year I’ve learned to not plant marigolds. But the petunias are growing and [...]

While my mom was here about a [...]

This kiddo prefers to work on the floor so he [...]

After reading this discussion over at Bloom last week, I realized how easy it is to let the true meaning of Easter get lost in bunnies and eggs and flowers. Now, don’t get me wrong. I love spring. I love a fresh start. But I also want [...]
I’m having a hard time believing it’s March. Where did February go? I totally missed it! Oh well. Things have been crazy busy around here – hence the lack of blogging on my part. Sorry! I promise there will be a tutorial this Tuesday (I’m such a slacker!). I had my first sinus infection since [...]
Christmas week was just as I hoped it would be. I spent tons of time with my little family. We (Chris, mostly) did a few projects around the house, raked leaves, and had a party. In years past, we have delivered plates of treats to our neighbors and friends around Christmas time, but [...]
I’m back! I took a blogging break while we were visiting my folks. The day after Christmas, we went to visit my parents in Colorado.
The boys loved playing in the snow, but did not love wearing gloves. We went ice skating on a lake up in the mountains. We went sledding [...]
