12 Days of Christmas
One of my New Years resolutions is to become a better blogger, but I’m not worrying about that until January. Right now I’m enjoying my family & all the excitement of Christmas. My 3-yr-old is super excited for Christmas this year. She wakes up every morning asking if it’s present time yet. And with her…
simple no knead bread recipe
In the November issue of FamilyFun, there’s a great bread recipe that doesn’t require kneading. Seeing as how I’ve struggled with making bread, I figured I’d give this kid-friendly recipe a try. The first two loaves I made were a success, but I didn’t take any pictures to show you. However, my Grandma gave me…
crazy hormones
When I lay down at night, completely and utterly exhausted, my brain starts to wander. I come up with all kinds of wonderful ideas and blog posts, which will most likely never come to fruition, because I’m too tired to take the effort to write them down. Over the past couple of weeks, I have sat…
a day in the life :: a bad day blessing
I’ve been MIA (missing in action, but you already knew that, right?) for a couple of months here on my blog. If you’re family, you already know the reason why – but for those who may not know the news yet – I’m pregnant. That’s right, we’re expecting #4 next Spring. And yes, when the…

cake pop therapy
After way too much computer time on Friday & Saturday, my brain turned to mush. {Come on, did I honestly think I was going to get through my elephant-sized to-do list before hubby’s vacation was over?} I woke up Sunday morning with mush brain & no desire, whatsoever, to even look in the general direction of…
the catch up game & don’t worry about a thing.
…every little thing is gonna be alright. (Bob Marley, anyone?) Since I went on a mini vacation this week, I have a lot to catch up on for the #31DBBB challenge. However, before I move on to the next steps in that challenge, I think I may need to soften any concerns that might have…
my mini vacation.
I just returned home from a mini vacation with the hubbs (sans kids). My mother-in-law & mom took turns staying with the kiddos, while I went with my husband (and his boss) on a 3-day business trip to St. Louis. And when I say vacation, I mean true vacation, in the sense that I did…
