Sometimes in this day and age where a vast majority of kids seem to need a calendar just to keep track of their schedules, I feel like it is a confession to say that I frequently make my children free play and entertain themselves. Yeah, no help from me with a direction, structured activity or…
Once my kids discovered the HighFive Naturals Silicone Molds hiding in our kitchen, everything has been requested to be in the shape of building bricks and figures. And who can blame them? Pretty much everything is more fun in the shape of LEGOs! Also…they bust out singing an endless rendition of “EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!!!!” each and every…
Pirate’s Booty is a long time favorite snack in our home. You might remember a few of these posts if you have read this blog for a while. I forget there was a time I didn’t pack a lunch every day for school. My babies have grown a lot since 2012 when we first tried this snack….
Spring is on the way here in Michigan. We’ve had a few good outdoor days already and my daughter could not wait to try out her new Ripstik. I have to admit, though, I was not as excited for her to try it out. Because trying means falling. And falling means ripped clothes, cuts and…

Baby will be here in less than seven weeks, and I must say that I’m feeling quite accomplished in my preparation for her arrival. We’ve made this little girl many beautiful creations, and only have a few more projects left to go before she is here! On one hand, the time seems to still drag…
There are a few things that need to happen in order to have a goods night’s sleep right? These are things you probably do routinely every night. The same goes for your kids. Kids especially need to have a solid routine for nightly duties. I know it to be true in our house and I’m…
I’ve always had a hard time focusing for long periods of time. I like to imagine this makes me a great multi-tasker, but in reality, I often miss important details, spend way too much time working with not a lot to show for it, and start one item on my to-do list only to come…
Comfort food. Sometimes you just gotta have a favorite food from childhood, even when you know it might not be one of your husband’s favorites… Last night I was in one of those moods. Said comfort food: chili. My husband and I have been married for nearly 11 years, and he has always been very…
