I am thankful for so much; the things I hold in my arms and what I hold close to my heart. “Mama, I love you so much. You fill my heart up.” I don’t know how I got this family of mine, but boy I thank the heavens and all my lucky stars for each … Continue reading Thanksgiving
Okay mamas, this is such a cute craft idea and it gets you and your littles out of the house! Create a family leaf picture that you can keep as a keepsake or display seasonally.

Every year we try to be as resourceful (cheap) as possible when it comes to seasonal decor. We ended up taking a pizza box from family pizza night and turned it into this Halloween sign that looks like a tombstone! The girls helped me paint it- you can see the paint strokes and imperfections, but … Continue reading Upcycled Pizza Box Halloween Tombstone Sign- “RIP said no parent ever”

Nick and I have been married 10 years (on the 27th)! We celebrated our milestone anniversary by leaving the kids with Nana for an overnight at Ainsworth Hot Springs. We stayed in one of their new rooms overlooking the lake and mountains. They felt like mini condos and have beautiful balconies. It felt like such … Continue reading 10 year anniversary to Hot Springs
There was a time, not long ago, when I would have considered myself in the thick of motherhood. That’s not to say that my days right now aren’t full of chaos and bottomless coffees.
