I began reading to my children as a way to connect. I knew my newborn needed to hear her mother’s voice but as a 23 year old, I had very little in common with the tiny child on the floor. The only “books” I had at that time were the free parenting magazines that came [...]

Logan and I had an impromptu adventure at Cathy’s Critter Farm today. A friend messaged me yesterday afternoon to see if I would mind looking after her son while she volunteered. Ironically, I had been looking for an excuse to get down to the farm for the better part of a month now. Of course, [...]

As I mentioned in my earlier posts, we’ve had some new additions to our family but I have not yet introduced Oakley. While Widget would fetch, cuddle and follow your every move, she simply wasn’t on the same schedule as Logan. He was very disappointed in her lazy ways and on several occasions, woke her [...]

In honor of Earth Day, I thought I’d tell you guys about a cool D. I. Y. project I did with the kids recently. About a month ago, the kids and I made flower pots from a stack of newspapers I had lying around. What I love about this particular project, is that there is [...]

Over the last 3 weeks, there have been some additions to our family. If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, you probably know what I’m referring to here. Our home had gone nearly 2 years without furry bearing creatures. I had thought this would give Kylie some relief from her allergies. For a while, [...]

As many of you know, Google Reader died. I was a little surprised. How do my readers keep up with their favorite blogs anyway? Then, one by one my favorite blogs made the switch to Bloglovin. I’m not usually one to jump on the bandwagon but nearly every one of them was there. Before Bloglovin, [...]

I know last year,  I had written 2 resolution posts: Resolution 1- Exercise and Resolution 2- Painting. I had all of the intentions of getting ripped on P90x and filling my home with homemade art. I’d like to address those first. Will and I lasted 2 weeks on P90x. Did we see results? Yes. He [...]
