Confession:: I still have two giant plastic bags of Halloween candy sitting in my pantry. Yes, I just said Halloween candy! And that was after I bribed my husband to take the third bag to his weekly poker game and told him not to come back into this house with that bag in his hands. I…
In just one short week the 2014 Winter Olympics will officially kick-off. A day that hundreds of athletes have been training for for longer than they can remember. I cannot even fathom the amount of pride and excitement running through their bodies as they march into Olympic Stadium with their teammates! Can you tell I’m…
Any parent with more than one child will attest to the fact that what works for one does not always work for the next. It’s amazing how children in the same family can be so very different! Sure, you become more confident in your parenting abilities with each child, but kids like to keep you…
This will be great! She can get creative and it will keep her busy during these Winter days when it’s too cold to go outside! Genius! {pats myself on the back} I had that encouraging conversation with myself just over a month ago when I decided it would be a super idea to get my daughter…

All Aboard!!! Honestly, all it takes is for my son to hear that “choo-choo” train whistle and he will drop everything! He’s that in love with Thomas and Friends! “Mom! It’s THOMAS time!!!” So imagine his excitement when he saw “The Thomas Way” show up in our mailbox earlier this month! Featuring 5 adorable episodes…
From my family to yours, may your Christmas be filled with peace and joy!
It’s a rare find when I find a movie that my husband and I are both at 100% “YES! let’s watch this!” Despite the number of movies we watch, it just doesn’t happen often. Then it happened, one magical night. And by that I mean 2 Guns happened! Recently released to Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital HD, 2 Guns…
As the New Year approaches, I know I’m going to find myself wanting to get rid of all this “stuff” cluttering up my house. Something about resolutions and organizing and purging…blah, blah, blah.
