This week went by soooo fast. I’m sort of dreading tomorrow, because we have to take all three kids to get flu shots… kill me, now. My boys won’t be bad, but my girl… holy moly. We about had DEFCON 5 two years ago when she got the nasal spray vaccine – NASAL SPRAY, PEOPLE. We…
This week kind of flew by. I’m not even sure what I did all week, but I know I’m tired. Looking forward to some rest, even though I have plenty of things planned for the weekend. Even when I’m busy, I like to sit down and think about what I’ve got on my list for…
It’s the freakin weekend! I couldn’t be happier. As every weekend approaches, I try to pull together all the 9 million things I want to accomplish around the house while I have my husband’s undivided attention, while still making room for family time. But it’s been a rough (and long) week, so I’m kind of…
[ “dear daughter” notebook available in my shop ] Here’s a little lesson I recently learned that I plan to relay to my daughter one day. No, it’s not really about nudity. Let me explain… I was doing my morning devotion today (from the amazing ladies of Illustrated Faith) and it completely opened my eyes to…
Thankfully, I can count on one hand the number of times I have called or been in the presence of someone who has called 911. Actually, I think it was one time. And thank God for that. But as my children have grown, safety and what to do in times of emergency has been in…
I am so excited to share my latest project and the newest addition to my Nuts & Bolts Paper Co. line! For a while now, I’ve been working on a School Years Memory Book that would be the perfect keepsake for both parents and kids. Because I (like many moms, I’m sure) am always wondering…
This is one of those easy DIYs that is totally worth the time and effort. I know, I know. Right now you’re all “shut up with your annoying Pinterest-inspired chore chart that you claim is a lifesaver.” Ok, I get it. I’m annoying. But I swear I’m just like you. I’ve barely rolled out of…
Our first big trip out of the country has ended, and boy was it amazing. Being away from your young kids that long is so refreshing and rejuvenating and so needed every now and then. Of course I missed them, but I also took a nap every day and that.was.epic. If you haven’t heard me…
A few weeks ago, I attended a business and crafting conference for handmade shop owners and it rocked my world. There is just something so amazing about being with your people, ya know? Especially for creatives. We just feed off of each other. Most of us are a bit quirky, a lot of us are…
I can title this post as such because I consider myself to be one of those “lazy people” – particularly when it comes to memory keeping. I feel the draw to hold onto and preserve memories just as much as the next mom, but quite frankly I think our generation is putting WAY too much pressure on…
