I love my blog. But I used to love other things more- like playing board games with my kids and going on walks. And where most bloggers can balance it all, I can’t. Not right now. It’s no...
A new coffee mug.. $1.99 from Target Reading this book…. it’s breaking my heart & hopeful at the same time Girl was sick on Monday & cuddled with me on the couch. Love! Girl wa...
It’s Ocean week at Sugar Mama’s Daycare! That’s not the real name of my place, but let’s go with it on here, mkay? Last year we made these cute little crabs with their ...
If I didn’t run a daycare in my home I would probably bake full time. I have a lot of room to improve, but I enjoy the process. I love delivering the goodies to friends, neighbors, etc and seei...
Wow! What a week it has been. I have been so tired. What do you all do for that? And don’t tell me you work out regularly because that’s just not going to happen. Not to sound like an ant...
This weekend was filled with basketball. Have I mentioned that Calem has a great 3-point shot? He does. It’s also an overcast day. I have a love/hate relationship with cloudy weather. I ...
I love random. So here goes some of that random in my life this week….
I didn’t make up this recipe, so I won’t post it on my blog, instead I’ll direct you to the place I got it from. She has much better photos also! I did change one thing from the ori...
The weather here, like most places, has been super mild. I’m not complaining, but I do miss snow. I miss bundling up in my favorite sweaters and thick wool socks. If it’s going to be over...
I posted a few months ago about the Daycare room renovation, and it’s also the area for my home office. You will notice beside my desk there are two large framed cork boards. One is for the day...
I wrote this post as a part of Life: UnMasked. It’s not the normal type of post you’d find on my blog… but I felt it was important to write about ALL aspects of womanhood. Not just ...

The books hi-lited I have read. The others I never got around to. I’m so frustrated though because I didn’t keep track of all my books, thinking that the library would print or e-mail me ...
The family came and went and our time together was lots of fun. Feeding and cleaning up after 24 people for a few days really gets exhausting. I mean, it was all worth it and I’d do it again ne...
She’ll turn 9 this week, just one day after her brother turns 13. Yes, it’s a busy week for us (and VERY poor fertility planning on me and my husband’s part). We talked about a them...
His lucky number should be 2. Not because he is my 2nd born, but because of his delivery into this world — he was born at 12:22 pm on 12/22 in room 222. I couldn’t make that up. If I beli...
Do you get excited for it? Certain songs, like” Mary, Did You Know?” and “What Child Is This?” I like to listen to year ’round. But most of the classics I save just for ...

It snowed here in Nebraska this past weekend. It was the wet heavy snow, which makes shoveling difficult but sledding awesome. Tween and Girl wanted to go sledding along with a few neighbor kids. But...
When my kids were younger we made a paper chain every year to countdown to Christmas. It was so exciting to see what each chain said… the activity we would get to do. The boys would not go for ...

I hear people say it all of the time… “Oh, I’m so thankful for ____”. It’s kind of like “I love you” or “How’s your day?” They are statemen...
We live in a suburb, a nice suburb where most people are middle to upper class and there are a lot of opportunities for our children. Our houses are close together and during the summer families get ...
