I love you, a bushel and a peck! When I was little, my mom would sing the song “I love you, a bushel and a peck” to me nearly every night. The song and its words came to signify a mother’s love for her kids…and I LOVE my kids! —->GET THE Bushel and a…
Easy Valentine’s Day Craft: “I Love You Because…” Dry Erase Frame
About a week ago, before my oldest daughter left to go back to college after the winter break, she and I broke out all of our crafting supplies, turned on a movie in the kitchen, and crafted together. What a fun way to end our vacation! Since Kim tends to have better ideas than…
Ringing in the New Year With Cousins #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
The holidays didn’t feel like the holidays until my family drove up to Pennsylvania for a last-minute New Year’s Day party with my sister’s family. We pulled together a silly gift exchange (with a couple of real gifts mixed in there, too), threw together a traditional taco dinner on the fly, and had a…
New Year’s Stained Glass Memory Jars #Craft
My 15-year-old daughter inspired me to make this craft after making her own Memory Jar for 2014, and I am so excited to start Memory Jars for the whole family for this coming year.

Memories of the Christmases of my Childhood
One of the Christmas memories from my childhood that shines the brightest, despite the years since I’ve experienced it, is the yearly drive on Christmas Eve from my grandparents’ house in San Leandro to my home in San Jose. Every Christmas Eve, we gathered the baked goodies for our big family dinner, the wrapped…
Christmas Tree 2014 #PSF
I’d love to say that we waited to buy and decorate our Christmas tree until this past weekend because we couldn’t imagine decorating for Christmas without the whole family together. As it turned out, the fact that we bought our tree this past Saturday and decorated it that night, shortly after our college-aged daughter…

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Chase Ultimate Rewards. All opinions are 100% mine. ‘Tis the season for cookies and carols and snowflakes and peppermint…and lots and lots of shopping.

I struggle each year to find an original holiday gift for my kids’ teachers that they will appreciate and be able to use. This year, I had the opportunity to create a fun holiday wreath for my youngest son’s elementary school teacher with supplies from Staples, and I am so excited to share it…
