It’s hard to believe that just eight years ago we were introduced to this young girl by the name of Katniss Everdeen and the broken world she was living in. This heart wrenching idea that a government would place children from each area of the country into an arena to fight to the death; The…
I believe it’s no coincidence that my kids’ Spring Break, an entire week of no school, occurs right at the very beginning of Spring. Just about the same time when it’s warm enough to toss open these windows and scrub away all the winter dirt, grime and blahs. It’s like the universe is saying, “these kids…
This post is just in time for March Madness. I give my condolences to the Michigan State fans. I saw a lot of bracket burning on my Facebook feed this week. I don’t really follow basketball to be honest, just the hoops we’ve got going on in our boy’s room! Do you have a child that leaves…
My daughter loves accessories–necklaces, bracelets, you name it! But with her small frame, it’s hard to find high-quality jewelry that doesn’t overwhelm her features. Apparently I’m not alone in this challenge! So 5 years ago, two jewelry designer brothers with daughters of their own created the Lily Nily Collection. Lily Nily takes great pride in…
We really haven’t had to bad of a winter, which I am thankful for. Let’s hope I didn’t just jinx us here in Michigan with that. But we did get hit hard a couple weeks ago with a snow storm that left us with quite a bit of snow. Now, if you know what your…
I think all the little details in life should be enjoyed. My day for the past few weeks has started with my son looking out our window saying “Sunrise, beautiful” in his sweet little voice, and I am so thankful that somehow he has learned that this little part of the morning that can become…

Years ago, when I was expecting my first baby, a girlfriend of mine gave me the most practical baby shower gift I had ever received. A homemade travel changing pad. At the time, I didn’t know it, but that changing pad would be the single item I used the most for my first three babies….
There are many people who put off visiting the dentist because they dread what they are going to be told. *raises her hand* Yup, that’s me. Do you do the same? One of the most common problems that adults face when visiting the dentist is gum disease. This disease affects nearly half of all adults, even those who…
My bags are all packed and I’m ready to go… to the hospital that is! I can’t believe that I am due with baby number 2 in just over two weeks. Time seems to have just FLOWN by with this second pregnancy… but I feel ready. Baby can come any day now. My stretched out…
The Easter meal can be a tricky one. Since my morning is spent at church, I like to be able to make as much ahead of time as I can–but still have a special meal with my family. This year I decided to try The Easter Collection by Tastefully Simple to take care of everything…
