My friend, Rajean, sent me this heart (and hearth) warming story this week while I was dealing with hospitals and other family business. As much as I complain about my home being too small for 7 of us, there are so many things that I DO love about it. I just have to remind myself…
Happy Easter 2013!
Happy Easter from our family to yours… May your Spring be filled with sunshine, sweetness, friends and family.
Spring Break Change of Plans – Give Me Your Best Shot #PSF
As Spring Break approached, I tried to come up with as many half-day outings as possible to keep my kids sufficiently entertained. I figured out how I could wake up early (but not as early as I do on school days) and get a few hours of work done before dedicating the rest of the…
Three in a Cage – Wordless Wednesday
I promise you that my niece climbed into the cage by herself and stayed there, happy. My nearly-8-year-old was begging me to let him have a turn in the cage, too. Seven Clown Circus | Parenting By Dummies | Project Alicia | Angry Julie Monday | Live and Love Outloud | The Paper Mama |…
A Letter to My 10-Year-Old Daughter, on Her Birthday
To Reese, my 10-year-old daughter, Today is the beginning of your first double-digit year. You’re 10! I remember when I found out I was pregnant with you, my 4th baby. I knew it was YOU from the beginning. I had been waiting for you, specifically YOU, for many years (since Dad started calling your…
How to Turn Everyday Moments into Family Memories
Today is a snow day. With all 5 kids and both parents home, you’d think that my house would be chaotic, but – incredibly – it’s fairly tame. Now, don’t ask me if my house is CLEAN. Tame, we can handle. Clean? Not so much. And how often does the cleanliness of the house factor…
Share Your Memories & Win at #YesMemory Twitter Party
I had a fabulous childhood. I remember running around the neighborhood with my best friends, playing with Barbies with my sisters, setting up lemonade stands on the corner. Actually, I recall only tolerating the lemonade stands because Elizabeth loved selling lemonade. Or was it the thrill of making money? Either way, those lemonade stands are…
Take Your Vintage Home Movies With You On The Go
We are a community that is constantly connected and on-the-go. I admit – I’ve got my smart phone and iPad with me just about all the time. But that doesn’t mean that connecting with my family is not important to me. In fact, I have been drawn to creating and preserving memories through taking and…
Pampers Deal at Walmart.com – FREE Bonus Gillette Razors #PampersJoy
With 5 kids who were each in diapers for an average of 3 years (and that doesn’t count the night-time diaper need that extended beyond regular potty training years), you’d better believe I bought my fair share of diapers. I can’t imagine how many rooms I could fill with all of the diapers my babies…
Birthday Boy – Give Me Your Best Shot #PSF
Shopping for a 12 year old boy is tough. The only two things he wanted were to join a field hockey team and to have a special birthday dinner at Outback Steakhouse. The dinner was easy enough to handle, but here are NO hockey teams anywhere close to us. 12 year olds no longer play…
