I am an equal opportunist when it comes to coffee and flavored creamers. I love changing the flavor combinations to suit my mood, especially seasonal cravings. Fall is EAT ALL THE PUMPKIN in my book, so you know I all about the pumpkin spice right now. The weather is finally a little cooler here in […]
This past Saturday Baby and I spent the afternoon shopping. It was great fun, trying on clothes, eating frozen yogurt, and buying sweet cupcakes to take home to Jed and DH. Baby started third grade this year, and I am not even sure where the time went. It seems like yesterday I was bringing my […]
The kids went back to school 2 weeks ago, but I am just getting caught up on sharing the details. It’s been a crazy few weeks trying to get back into a solid routine. Baby went back first, and was all smiles on her first day of third grade. I’m not really sure where the […]
Back before we were married, I remember coming home from work on Friday evening, and DH was there at the ready, chomping at the bit to go out somewhere, movies, dinner, you name it. I, on the other hand, wanted to just change out of my work clothes, grab a pizza, and chill out on […]

Each morning I remind my 8 year old to brush her teeth, and every night without fail, I send her up to brush them again before bed. But I have a horrible confession to make. I don’t do the same. I am pretty much a slacker, when it comes to my own tooth protection and […]
I loved to read growing up, and still do. I have great memories of my dad reading with me on weeknights when he got home from work. As a parent, I am trying to instill the same love of reading in my own children. Baby already enjoys reading, and reads well above the average level. […]
Baby is experimenting with new hobbies. Since we have moved to Georgia, she has tried soccer, swimming, gymnastics and now is starting karate. Baby had a great time in her first class, especially because she was able to leave with her first belt, while I was waiting in the car and playing prize win real […]
Jed’s been learning to ride he bike he recieved for Christmas. Being three, he’s still learning that to keep moving, you have to keep pedaling. The lesson his sister is still trying to learn as well. Round and round in circles he went this afternoon. With only the occasional push from Mommy or a spare […]
