For the last week, I’ve been really busy with running specials at my graphic & web design business. And I started working for one of my clients as a Virtual Assistant. I’ve been so busy, that I actually let this domain expire. And then it took me a couple days to get it renewed &…

Miss Boo :: four years of fun & love
Last weekend, my oldest turned four. I can’t believe how quickly four years can pass by, and how much can happen during that time. Just a few days before she was born, I was shopping with my mom at a party supply store… And then our whole world changed when we welcomed our sweet little…
what a week!
If you couldn’t tell, I was in a really goofy mood this week. I can’t explain it. I just get that way sometimes. {Okay, my husband would tell you I’m goofy a lot.} But I think having kids {and more responsibility} has made me a more serious person, and less goofy. I used to get…

feeling crafty?!
As long as there is still ink in the printer, my girls & I will be attempting to make these cute papercraft bees today. Aren’t they adorable? I’ll post our results later. In the meantime, if you’d like to make your own, you can print yours from the FamilyFun website here. (It’s free!)

organizing 101 :: organizing to cut out the distractions
{a great, quick video on Organizing 101 by Rubbermaid} I like to organize, and I like order. But if you were to come into my home, you would not get that impression. See, I start organizing activities & life interrupts me – usually via my kids, husband, or clients. I get distracted and other things…

a biter in our midst
Our 18-month-old is one of the most laid back, mellow kids I’ve been around. Since our three kids are so close in age, we’re expecting our fourth & our middle child is rambunctious, his calm & pleasant disposition has been a wonderful blessing. He loves to play with his sisters, but they see him as…
