Sometimes it blows my mind to think I’ve been a mother for almost six years (or a little longer than that if you include the months before Tucker was born when I carried him in my belly). & it blows my mind even more when I think about being the mother to three for almost… Continue Reading
You may very well be living under a rock if you don’t know it’s Teacher Appreciation Week (okay, well if you don’t have kids that are school age then I’ll forgive you) & today is actually Teacher Appreciation Day. Even though today’s school day is already over, the week is not. So if you haven’t… Continue Reading
A friend posted a picture of her boys sitting at their breakfast bar before school one day last week. She said it was something she had dreamed of when they bought their house all those years before, her kids one day talking to her as they ate their breakfast from that very spot before school… Continue Reading

We had a great Thanksgiving and have been enjoying all of this time together the last few days. I sort of forgot about blogging (I know, gasp!) these last few days because I was just too busy enjoying. After cinnamon rolls for breakfast Thursday morning, and a little pecan pie baking, we headed over to… Continue Reading
Speaking of random sewing projects… This morning I decided, in true fashion last-minute-me, that I’d make the girls an outfit to wear tomorrow for Thanksgiving. Yes, that’s right.
