Two days after school let out, my mother in law, the kids, and I drove down to Virginia to celebrate my brother in law’s recent wedding. The kids loved spending some one on one time with their uncle and newest aunt, we had a great time spending a couple of nights at a hotel, and…
Building Relationships with #EmailLove
Thank you to Yahoo! Mail for sponsoring this post about staying connected. I was selected for this sponsorship by the Clever Girls Collective, which endorses Blog With Integrity, as I do. Photo taken by Christine of From Dates to Diapers Two weeks ago today I was on the road to Asheville, NC for…
When Friends Have Babies – Wordless Wednesday Link Up
I loved having babies, but like I have said a hundred times over….I am done. So I love that my friends are still having babies and that I can hold them and smell their sweet skin and take their pictures. But I don’t have to get up with them at night. These two little girls…
Window Painting
I’m trying something new! I’ve embedded my latest Savvy Living discussion right here on my blog. I thought that my readers might enjoy seeing what has been keeping my kids entertained this week. Yes, I’m aware that she didn’t get the flag exactly right…. Comments are turned off on the post so that you can…
Happy 4th of July!
Independence Day is one of my favorite holidays! Why? Because I LOVE the USA! (Plus, the fact that the kids don’t expect candy or presents when they wake up on the morning of July 4th is a HUGE plus now that I’m a mom) We woke up early this morning to attend the annual 4th…
Saying Goodbye to Friends – PSF/GMYBS linky
A few years ago, a family moved in near us. I instantly hit it off with the mom, and our similarly-aged kids became best of friends. Our teens got together for loads of movie parties, our kindergarteners had Type A Conference, I took their kids (all 7 of them!) down to
Type A Conference Recap
Despite what some people may think, I am not social by nature. I am the typical introvert who gets worn out by being around crowds of people. And yet, I have this crazy, conflicted, overwhelming desire to BE SOCIAL. Since I started blogging in 2007, I have been meeting and developing relationships with more people…
Ovaltine Awesome Summer Giveaway
When I was a kid, Summer time was about playing outside all day long. Summer was about swinging and swimming and sweating. If I asked my kids about Summer today, I bet they would say the same thing. My favorite childhood Summer time memories occurred in Lake Tahoe. Before I was born, my grandparents had…
Coming to Terms With My Son’s Bedwetting
Potty Trained! The day that I declared AJ fully potty trained was a happy one. Reese had just recently stopped wetting the bed at night just 2 months before, and since my first three kids had stayed dry at night as soon as they day-time trained, I figured that AJ would follow the majority. I’m…
Go Camping for National Great Outdoors Month
My family didn’t go camping when I was a kid (if I remember correctly, we camped once during my childhood). I didn’t complain. I was perfectly happy with “roughing it” in our cabin down the lane from the beach at Lake Tahoe. Tahoe was our yearly Summer vacation, and I looked forward to it all…
