My kids started school today and I’m still in a bit of shock. The summer flew by so fast and not having them here all day feels super weird. It would be magical if my 4 year old wasn’t still home with me… not that I don’t like him, but he is bored out of…
As the end of the year approaches, it’s a good time to stop and reflect on all we are thankful for. As a mom, instilling gratitude in my kids is incredibly important to me; and I’m sure I’m not alone. So I’ve created these FREE Gratitude Cards for you to print and fill out with your…
Oh, pumpkin carving. I avoided it for SO many years. When the kids were young, I convinced them that painting or coloring their pumpkins would be SUPER FUN.

I’m a romantic at heart, and as a woman, I love being spoiled. Also – I’m not ashamed to admit – I prefer that Valentine’s Day be all about me. Me getting diamonds. Me getting flowers. Me getting chocolates. Ok, ok, I care about my husband and his feelings too. Valentine’s Day is always a…
Ah, another Valentine’s Day. Another year of scrolling through pages and pages of clever Valentines on Pinterest made from candy and treats attached to clever sayings like “we are ‘mentos’ to be together” and “you’re one smart cookie.” I figure since you’ve already seen a million of them, I might as well throw another log on the fire……
