The urge to get creative has been almost unbearable. This weekend I sat down with my Pinterest boards and decided that I wanted to start getting some of the projects made. While at Goodwill on Monday I found a large canvas that will be made into a large chalkboard. On Sunday I found a hope chest for our blankets that…
Every now and then I get a bug to do something creative. I have not done much in the way of creative works because of summer time and having to keep up with the garden, that I suppose was my creative works. Now that the summer garden has been put away I was feeling like I needed to be creative…
Back in June I had mentioned that my mother had brought me some of my great grandma’s silverware and I had cleaned it up. I have been searching for frames since then. I was determined to buy some shadow boxes and them mount them in there. I have been pricing those frames between Michael’s, Hobby Lobby, JoAnne’s and online –…
Let me start this by saying that I am no expert, I actually have been a huge skeptic for a very long time on the whole subject of “Love and Logic”… I am now tucking my tail and conceding. I have come across many parents that claim to be “Love and Logic” parents and in my opinion they are not…
Today was big brother’s Jog-A-Thon and he rocked it like a true runner! Big brother’s goal was 17 laps and he didn’t make that goal, however with the cold and super windy conditions I was rather impressed! For the last lap brothers and I joined in and ran with him. All in all a pretty great day!

This is what we woke up to this morning! Don’t get me wrong I am not complaining about it but sakes alive I wish we had a little more fall first. Snow the first week of October has happened the last four years in a row! Snow is fun and exciting but there is still something to be said about…
You know those days that you should have just stayed in bed and skipped? Well today was one of those days… well sort of! This morning I woke up to find an empty bottle of hand sanitizer. Big brother informed me that middle brother drank it… drank it! I immediately questioned middle brother in the truth of the statement and…
I am always on the search for a good chocolate chip cookie recipe. Hubby is a sweets kind of guy. His side of the bed is often littered with candy wrappers and crumbs. I on the other hand could take or leave sweets… but have a bowl of salsa and chips sitting out and watch out! Any way I digress……
My boys favorite day of the week is house cleaning day. Not because they help clean but because I take all the chairs from around the dinning room table and I put them on the rug in the sitting room and I let them built forts. I place the chairs for them and then they get out the blankets and…
