I’m Snow White

Miss Cakes, our 3-yr-old is going through a princess phase. She loves all things princess. Her favorite Disney princess is Snow White, so she dressed as Snow White for halloween. For Christmas, she asked for everything Snow White. Most of what she received for Christmas gifts was Snow White. Somewhere between Christmas & the first…

The forehead fuzz

Tonight at dinner, my husband informed me that I had a piece of fuzz or something on my forehead. I brushed my hand across my forehead and asked if I got it. To which my husband replied, “Yes.” Fast forward an hour… I walk into the bathroom & glance in the mirror, as I’m washing…

Busy Busy Busy

My kids aren’t even in school yet, and summer seems to be the busiest time for us. Or maybe, life is just busy once you have four kids. Maybe it’s a combination of summer & four kids. Either way, I haven’t had a chance to post since our fourth little bundle of joy arrived. In…

Five Years Ago…

…I married the man of my dreams. Our story, however, actually began 11 1/2 years ago. I really like telling our story, because it feels surreal – like a fictional book I would have on my bookshelf. It involves a boy admiring a girl from afar, and a girl admiring a boy from afar. Boy…

the family manager creed

The other day, I picked up a few books at Barnes & Noble. I’m so excited to dive into them, and I just started readingĀ “The Busy Mom’s Guide To A Happy Organized Home” by Kathy Peel. I’m still in the Introduction, but I came across something I have to share with you. The author has…

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…

bzzz…

Phew… The bees are done… Notes to self: cut everything out before having the girls sit down (because Miss Cakes is not patient) go to the store and get some glue sticks (a lot of stuff would have been much easier without the runny stuff) do not let Miss Cakes near the glue The craft…

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…

we’re completely smitten

We brought our new puppy home on 1/1/11. She was exactly 2 months old. She’s a long-haired miniature dachshund. She’s absolutely adorable & fabulously sweet. And we are completely smitten… We named her Emmy – I suggested Emelia, but hubby thought that would be hard for kids to pronounce, so I said “What about Emmy?”…

Happy New Year!!

Here we are 5 days into 2011, and it hasn’t really sunk in. We’ve been so busy, that I haven’t had a chance to sit down and list out my goals for 2011, or make any resolutions. I do know that I want to take more photos of my kids this year – capture more…
