Last week we had a rough weekend – not this last weekend but the weekend before. We were hit with news kind of all over the place. A grandma in the hospital. A canceled trip. And just general news that left us feeling a bit defeated. Scratch that. Very defeated.We had two options: write this…
The other afternoon, A and I were going about our day and having an afternoon snack. The music played in the air and the light gently shined through the windows onto the floors. There she was smiling and giggling, and reached her arm out to share her snack with me. She loves to share with…
This post is sponsored by OrganizHer, a division of Mead. I was given the All-in-One Memo Book from OrganizHer in exchange for my honest review. “It think it’s funny that with technology, so many people still use written planners,” that’s what my friend Candy said to me after I showed her my new OrganizHer planner…
Oh. My. Heart.This last weekend we embarked on our first outdoor water adventure with Miss A.You. Guys.It doesn’t really get much cuter than a sparkle swim suit and a floppy lady bug hat.I mean really. At first A was a little unsure and a little reserved but oh my goodness, it was hats off and splash…
We love to bake in our house but to be honest we aren’t huge sweets eaters. We don’t eat frosting on our cake, we don’t eat a ton of chocolate. However, we do like fruit desserts. Love them really. My mother-in-law recently text me a photo of a crisp bar recipe on a recipe card…
What?! Two posts in one day?! What is wrong with me! Clearly, I’m feeling like an overachiever. Well friends, I found Shay’s Whatever Wednesday post (that she co-hosts weekly with Alissa) in my reader and thought “oh My, if I don’t participate one more time…” So then I saw the topic was a recipe and…
There is always that question…”So what do you do?” or “What does your wife do?” direct at Ryan. I constantly get the response depending on the answer I give. Sometimes I give one answer, sometimes I give the other. When “Stay At Home Mom” is the answer the responses usually include, “Oh… So you’re a…
1. The Mailbox App I know several people that aren’t a fan of this app, and that’s okay but it works for me. It makes it easy to get rid of the stuff I don’t want or need in my inbox and get to the stuff I do. It also makes it easy to stay…
There are a lot of things I don’t talk about on the blog. I feel like somethings just don’t need to be talked about – I value a level of privacy – and I’m pretty modest person about a lot of things- in life and in this space. But today or share a little something with…
This morning at 7:09am my phone rang, and if you know me you know it’s on Do Not Disturb until 9 just in case the babe sleeps in…so if it’s important you have to call twice for it to ring unless it’s in my hand. There I sat playing with A and my phone lights…
You ever been to Colorado?If so, You’ve probably seen those green and white “native” stickers.If you haven’t and you’re coming to Colorado anytime soon keep your eye out. Here is a prime example of a car with a native sticker. Personally, I think that they are ridiculously tacky. Maybe it’s because I’m not a Colorado…
How about a little afternoon chat. It’s been a while since we’ve had one of these and it’s been too long. There is so much to catch up on. So why don’t you just come on over for a bit and we can chat a while?! If you came to my home today I would…
A lot has changed since we welcomed A into the world almost 8 months ago (8 months next Tuesday). My schedule has changed, my every day routine has changed, my heartbreaks more heavily for tragedy in the news and women who yearn to have a baby their can hold in their arms. Friends have changed,…
Today I wanted to share a recipe with you that has been something my family has made for years and I mean as long as I can remember. Up until this year, I was the only one in my family that was not a fan of it. Then, last year when I was pregnant I…
Happy Sunday Everyone! Today I’m co-hosting the “My Husband Rocks” Link up with Rachael from The Growing Tree. Although I have enjoyed co-hosting every 6 weeks or so I decided that this week will be my last time co-hosting the link-up. It’s been a great time but with changes I’ve been making to make this…
A couple of our friends recently asked for a little bit of advice on how we keep our costs low, manage our money and stay on top of the money we have so we don’t spend money that we don’t actually have. So, I decided that would make a fantastic blog post. 1. We Cut…
This summer we decided it would be fun to do the local library reading program with Miss A! We’ve been reading to her for months, literally since the very beginning! We feel it’s an important thing for her to start reading now, not only for developmental reasons but neither one of Ryan and I love…
We love to grill in the summer, it’s quick, easy and it doesn’t heat up the house which is a major plus! We eat a variety of meats – chicken, beef, pork, etc. We were invited to the BzzAgent, Pork. Be Inspired. Campaign and we jumped on it! We went to our King Soopers and…
Helllllo June!I told Ryan the other day I feel like we just rang in the new year and it’s like February still.Surprise. It’s June.I remember being a kid and feeling like I had all the time in the world, then I became and adult and time went by faster and faster. Now that we have…
