I bet you can’t read the title of this post without thinking of the beginning scene of the Lion King. Honestly, in my opinion, the first 3 or 4 minutes of that movie are some of the best moments in film. Ever. Whenever my kids watch it, my son Sam yells “Mommy, it’s your favorite [...]

Today is your day!
I received an email from an old friend about a month ago. It was out of the blue and took me completely by surprise In the email, she told me that I had inspired her to train for a marathon. She had never thought it was possible to do something outside of being a mom . [...]

scarves!
I love scarves! You can wear them when it’s hot or cold. They keep you warm and make you look fabulous. Scarves are one of my favorite accessories. After being married for a couple of years I had the opportunity to travel with my husband to Copenhagen, Denmark for a week while he was working [...]

Whatever style of stripe you like, you are most likely going to find it out there. I personally like [...]

our butterfly garden
This year the Easter Bunny brought our girls a rather unique gift. The Easter Bunny … or a great deal on Amazon with just enough time for Prime’s two day shipping to make it in time for Easter. Either way, unique, and a gift that gives daily for just about one month’s time. The girls [...]
annabelle’s story
I’m currently operating in a sleep deprived haze. Do you remember those wonderful first weeks with your newborn babies? Mommy-brain to the fullest (well said, Jen!)
