These pom-poms are kind of my favorite. I loved having fluffy little pets all around the house. And I enjoyed throwing them at Stevie’s head continually while he wasn’t looking. Perfect rainy day activity. Plus, they look so cute on the mantle! Baby Jesus and pom-poms go together right? Here’s where I found the easiest…
This week, I’ll show you a few of the craft projects I attempted for Christmas. My whole entire life, I have always tried to be a crafty person. But I’ve realized over the years, and all of the failed attempts, that I’m just not. And that’s ok. These ones are actually so easy, they made…
Too much food. The first words that came to mind thinking about our trip to Utah. Seriously, though. Still full. But also: laughter, beauty, nostalgia, happiness, frustration and a little bit of heartache all rolled into one big group hug. We stayed up too late. Woke up too early. Made too many dirty jokes. Enjoyed…
Well, hello November. Oh and yes, hello to you too 5:30am because of the time change. How long is that wake-up time going to be in effect? Halloween was good. Stevie still didn’t totally get it, but this year was a lot easier. Therefore making it more fun than years past. And he looked bloody cute, let’s not…
The most scared I’ve ever been on Halloween was about 10 minutes ago, when the house was really quiet and one of Stevie’s sound puzzles started going off for no reason. JEEZ!!! I’ve had maybe 3 good costumes in my entire life. I know. I sound am so boring. My husband hasn’t seen a scary movie since…
Sneaky, sneaky 4th of July. Where did you come from? I mean BAM! All of a sudden, am I right? When I woke up on Friday, the last thing I expected was for my husband to suggest we go somewhere. I obviously am not one to turn down that offer, so we hopped in the…
We aren’t much for church worship in this family. But on Easter Sunday we worshiped the sun, the food, laughter and togetherness. (The kids mostly worshiped the candy.) We enjoyed a few Easter traditions. And mostly loved seeing the kids together. Stevie is never happier than when he’s with his cousins. I feel that spending…
Now that the post-holiday slow down has commenced, let me tell you that it actually has not slowed down at all! We’re booked, every weekend full, until March gets here. Sometimes looking at my calendar makes my head hurt. But that’s beside the point. This is to tell you all a little about our Christmas.…
Home is where your heart is. Home is where you are. Home is where our story begins. Home is where your cats live. Home is where the wifi connects automatically. Home is where your bra comes off. Oh, Pinterest. But my favorite: Home is where your mom is. And I find that to be more…
This last month, I participated in the annual #FMSgiftexchange. You’ve heard of FatMumSlim out of Australia right? She makes up those Photo A Day lists for Instagram. Anyway, she and her helpers organized this whole thing. There were over 300 participants, mostly other women, and you randomly get paired with a Secret Santa through Elfster. Your Secret…
