Last Saturday, we had a yard sale. We layed out the clothes that the kids have grown out of and the toys they no longer play with. We filled boxes with books that we’ve read and movies that we’ve watched. Car seats, strollers, and shoes. It had been quite a while since we’d put on…

Back To School (We Made It!)
Since I’ve already shown off a picture of my oldest heading off to high school, I figured I’d better include a few of the younger ones on their way to school this week. The good news? Everyone is loving it so far, although KitKat is shocked at how much more work there is in high…
Do It Yourself – Budget Bootcamp #9
It’s week #9 of Clair and Beth’s 90-day Budget Bootcamp, and our challenge this week is a fun one. Do It Yourself I’ve always been a DIYer in the kitchen. I don’t sew, I don’t do crafty projects around my home, I don’t fix my own car, but I DO D.I.Y. where food is concerned….
Family Game Time Giveaway
Back to School Giveaway Week, Day Two: Before CandyMan and I had kids, we spent nearly every evening playing board and card games together. When we got together with our friends, we played games with them, too. And so it stands to reason that now that our kids are old enough to join in, we…
Apparently, I’ve Become THAT Kind of Mother
I was doing so well sending the kids off to school this morning. Everyone woke up at a reasonable hour (meaning, no one refused to wake up), everyone ate a good breakfast and got dressed in clean clothes. Hair was brushed. Shoes were put on. Pictures were taken. And then, I got a text message….

Photojournalism – I Heart Faces
What is Photojournalism? For the sake of this week’s I Heart Faces challenge, photojournalism is: Using an image (or images) to tell a story. And if there’s anything I’ve learned in my 3 years of being a blogger it’s that we have stories to tell. Stories of life. Stories of family. Stories of a really…
Lunch is on Me Winners!
If you haven’t been by Better in Bulk the last few days, you might notice a few changes around here. The problems with my previous theme had gotten so bad that my blog finally broke. Something had to be done FAST. Several people (shout out to Katie and Caroline!) took time out of their schedule…
I Heart Faces – Fix It Friday
Just got back from kindergarten orientation and open house for the rest of the kids. After a night of almost no sleep (AJ couldn’t sleep because of ear pain and needed someone to be up with him. Guess who he picked?) and a day at the school, I needed some brain relaxing time. So….I did…
