Home again! Home Again! I don’t know if I’m quite ready for a jiggety-jig….but I’m happy to be back in my own bed! Our week in Kissimmee has finally come to a close, and I’m ready to buckle down and get back to work in the morning. Although I am always sad to see a…
Wordless in Kissimmee
We’re on our 3rd day of our Kissimmee vacation, and I am shocked by all of the things we’ve been able to experience already. I’ve been blogging about our daily activities over at i.seeKissimmee.com as their guest blogger for the week. And honestly, after the FULL days we’ve been having, it’s been all I could…
I Have Pre-Vacation Brain – #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
It didn’t really hit me until just a few minutes ago that it was Thursday evening. I mean I knew what day it was….we’ve been doing the countdown to our big Florida trip for weeks and we are finally leaving TOMORROW. This afternoon, we’re in the middle of pre-vacation craziness. The kids are bouncing off…
Top 10 Home Annoyances (+ Kidde Smoke Alarms Giveaway)
Living in a 34 year old townhome with 7 people, I deal with a fair share of annoyances…and I’m a relatively patient person (just don’t ask my kids or my husband their opinion on my patience level…). Patience (or lack of it) aside, there are a few things around the house that set me off…
Happiness in Black and White – Give Me Your Best Shot #PSF
My kids had another 4-day weekend, and instead of sitting at home like we did for days during Hurricane Sandy, we made plans to drive to my sister’s house to spend the day with the cousins….and their new puppies. The puppies were a huge hit, and I haven’t seen so many REAL smiles all in…
Ace and Pudge – Wordless Wednesday
Because we had yet another 4 day weekend (not complaining…) we decided to make the 2 hour drive to my sister’s house today to let the kids have some time with their cousins and the two new puppies, Ace and Pudge. How cute are they?! Many more photos to share….later! Linked up to Wordful Wednesday,…
Making Family Dinner Time a Priority
When I was a kid, the oldest child of five, family dinner time together was not an option. We ate meals together, period. We helped cook, we helped set the table, and we definitely helped clean up the kitchen afterwards. Now that I am a mom with 5 kids of my own, I’ve maintained my…
How to Teach Children Values – Compassion, Kindness, and Generosity #OCCGiving
Teaching children to be kind, compassionate, and generous is neither easy nor quick. Values such as generosity and compassion aren’t learned overnight. Every Sunday I am reminded just how tricky it is to teach children values. My 7 year old son rushes into my classroom, where I teach the 3 year olds at church. After…
Fall Family Traditions – #TogetherCounts
Every season has its fair share of family traditions, but Fall has some of my favorites. The Fall weather (at least here in Maryland) inspires us to finally get out of the house and be active again. During the Spring, we’re sneezing; in the Summer, we are too hot; and the Winter, as fun as…
Creative Bonding with Goldfish Smiles – PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
My kids love any excuse to pull out the glue and the glitter. So when we were given the challenge to let our creativity flow with Goldfish and just a few “ingredients,” the kids jumped at the chance and put everything into their creations. Goldfish Art of the Month — Month 1 Theme: Color Ingredients:…
