I am not a talented decorator, but I love decorating for the Holidays. I have collected knick knacks over the years to turn my house into a seasonal wonderland (although I admit that I could do better…). Tips for bringing the holiday spirit to your house Have seasonal-only artwork and decor. Because we only…
National Hug-a-Blogger Day #hugablogger
I’ve always been a very private person. Strange, I know, considering the fact that I now share so much of my life online for the whole world to see. In school, I always had one or two close friends. I knew and was friendly with many people, but I only opened up with a select…
DIY Phineas and Ferb Halloween Costumes
My kids are last-minute costume-pickers. They tend to change their minds on what they want to dress up as all October long. Luckily, the characters that two of my kids decided to be at the very last minute this Halloween turned out to be very easy (and cheap) for us to put together. DIY Phineas…
Halloween 2011 in Washington D.C.
Last weekend, while I was at Blogalicious, I shared lunch with two wonderfully delightful women from Living Social. As a mom working from home, I love when I can find deals for my family….especially when I don’t have to leave my home to get them. Yesterday, Living Social released some survey results on Halloween trends…
Ready for Halloween? We Aren’t.
We’ve got our pumpkins (and one turned into a Jack-o-Lantern), we’ve made our Halloween decorations for the house, we’ve cooked our yummy pumpkin treats to eat, and we’ve bought candy galore for the trick-or-treaters. But we are not ready for Halloween at all. Why? No costumes. I am have been a complete slacker in the…
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…
Who Says Costumes Are Only for Halloween?
One of my favorite new-to-me traditions on the 4th of July is capturing unique photos of fireworks. Ever since I can remember, both as a child and as a parent, I have spent July 4th watching fireworks. We usually head a few miles away to the County Fairgrounds, where they put on quite an impressive…
Savoring Spring
I’ve been thinking a lot about savoring the season – not only the Spring, which I am loving, but this season of my life….which I am not loving so much. According to this month’s Fishful Thinking newsletter message from Dr. Karen Reivich, savoring is an important part of happiness. Dr. Reivich suggests thinking about the…
Easter Morning – Wordless Wednesday
Cousins + lots of candy + a sunshiny Easter morning. What could be better? Linked up to Wordful Wednesday, Wordish Wednesday, and Wordless Wednesdays all over.
Traditional Easter Eggs – PSF GMYBS Link-up
After showing off our slightly complicated Easter Egg decorating the other day, today I am ready to share the more traditional “dunk and dye” eggs that we also decorated this week. Sadly, we have spent the majority of our Spring Break with 2 or 3 kids sick. Vacation is no fun when all you want…
