Happy Mother’s Day to all of you! My Mother’s Day started out with a gourmet breakfast made by my two oldest girls. This week has been a particularly pleasant one, with lots of special mom and kid time. What memories have you been making this week?
Potion Making in the Kitchen – Give Me Your Best Shot #PSF
A package arrived earlier this week filled with dry ice (and Blue Bunny ice cream treats for AJ’s birthday next week). As excited as the kids were about the ice cream, they were equally as excited about the dry ice. AJ started making plans to make potions the next day after school. He used a…
Makinson Island – A Peaceful Retreat in Kissimmee, Florida
Apparently I’ve been home from my travels long enough to start wanting to go back again. Truthfully, though, I never really wanted to leave Florida in the first place. Last month’s trip to Kissimmee and Disney World was both exhausting and rejuvinating at the same time. Our daily schedule was packed with things to do…
Spring Horse Show – Wordless Wednesday #Linky
My BFF is teaching horse back riding lessons at a local farm, and her kids were in a horse show this weekend. I took my two youngest kids to watch the horses and enjoy the beautiful Spring weather and country surroundings. It was a nearly perfect day (don’t get me started on AJ’s incessant whining…
Project 365 {Week 18}
I’m sitting with my kids on this Sunday night, braiding hair and playing games. Sunday is my favorite day now. I have come to appreciate it with new eyes since I’ve been so busy during the weekdays. Sitting together with the cool breeze coming through the window, with no expectations or tasks that have to…
Back in My Hometown – Give Me Your Best Shot #PSF
What a nostalgic week! I’m currently traveling back from a quick trip to San Jose, California (writing this from the airport as I wait to board my plane). I spent my childhood in San Jose. Although we moved from San Jose when I was 11, we lived less than an hour away and still returned…
When Big Sister Does Her Makeup – Wordless Wednesday #Linkup
On Sunday night, Reese, my 9 year old, emerged from her big sister’s bedroom, where KitKat (the big sister) had been practicing her hair and make up skills. Holy cow. That’s all I have to say. 9 years old? I’ve got a long 10 years ahead of me… For more inspiring photos, check: 5 Minutes…
10 Reasons I Wish I Lived Close to Family
When we graduated from college and made the trek across the country to settle on the East Coast, we left all of my extended family back in the West. I loved growing up with my grandparents and aunts and uncles and dozens and dozens of cousins. Holiday meals together, vacations in Tahoe together, and plenty…
The Importance of Pictures in Preserving Memory
After my sophomore year of college, my roommate Susan and I planned a trip to Mexico, just the two of us. I had spent the previous summer on a study abroad in Mexico and I couldn’t wait to return. The summer of 1993 had been full of incredible memories – camping in the jungle, climbing…
Project 365 {Week 17}
Yesterday Candyman and I celebrated our 17th anniversary…by running around all day. But not with each other. The most time we spent together was 30 minutes or so on a lobby couch while we waited for last night’s short plays to finish (don’t worry, we watched Necco’s play completely). After the plays, we headed out…
