At the beginning of the new year, I always find myself planning and purging and so much more! I want LESS stuff clogging up my life and my brain. About now is the time I start unclogging things that come in my life. From unwanted appointments, to people in my Facebook feed to emails in…
diy burp cloths…spit up in style :: a simple sewing tutorial
Spit happens, right? It never ceases to amaze me that such tiny and adorable little humans can be so…well…I’ll say it…down right disgusting! They really have that characteristic covered quite well…along with the person holding them… I was fortunate with two of my three kiddos, that they weren’t very urpy. Life was pretty clean with…

why i think you should see #EddieTheEagle {#FlyLikeEddie#ad}
This post was sponsored by Eddie the Eagle through their partnership with POPSUGAR. While I was compensated by POPSUGAR to write a post about Eddie the Eagle, all opinions are my own.

time to rock and roll with pop star minnie
This week, a new DVD from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse was released, and my 4-year old is over the moon of this one! The cover alone had her squealing with delight. What I was excited about was what was inside! Over 2 hours of Disney magic that my littles can indulge in when they have some…
tutu diy :: for the little dancer or fashionista in your life
Oh, that dreaded moment when at bedtime, your child says to you, “Mom…I kind of forgot to tell you…I need four dozen cupcakes for the class party tomorrow…” Your date with Netflix and a glass of wine suddenly comes crashing down around you. Your evening plans have drastically changed. In this family, we homeschool, so…
learning to walk with little balance box
I feel like baby milestones are alway a little bittersweet. On one hand, your baby is accomplishing some new skill and is showing you how wonderful they are, on the other hand your baby is steadily becoming less and less of a baby… AHHH! We have slowly but steadily been moving towards a baby milestone…

Early Spring! Early Spring! Early Spring!!!!! In case you couldn’t tell, I’m pretty excited about good ol’ Punxsutawney Phil’s “prediction” of an early spring this year! {Yes, I know he’s just a rodent and not a meteorologist but let’s just say the meteorologists don’t always get it right either.} We’ve had a pretty mild winter…
thoughts about being 35 years old
How can I be 35 years old? Wasn’t I just a geeky teenage girl reading Janette Oke books in my pink carpeted bedroom with a stenciled rose border and a white canopy bed? I turned 35 on New Year’s Eve. I’ve had about a month to soak it in. It’s crazy to me that I’ve been a…
busch gardens tampa :: fun for the whole family
I love it when I can find a fun vacation destination that our whole family can enjoy. My kids range in age from 3 to almost 10 and their interests are as different as night and day. So we have a hard time finding something that everyone can get excited about. But at Busch Gardens,…
teething babies can chomp on a “yummy mitt”
With expecting a new little bundle of joy soon, I have been having fun learning about all the new and fun products on the market. It’s crazy to me how much products can change over the course of three years (ok, maybe the craziest part to me is that my son is going to be…
