Day 2 was harder. Am I the only one that felt like Day 2 was like 2 weeks in?!? Seems like the days are super long but also fly by at the same time. I’m finding it’s such a hard balance to work and not feel guilty for giving the offspring my attention when IContinueContinue reading “Day 2: COVID-19 Birthday and St Patty’s Day at Home”

Crafting with Will: Origami Hat/Boat/Snapper
Will woke up this morning and immediately started making Origami. He is super crafty like that….especially when grounded from electronics. Funny how that works. I asked asked him if he wanted to make a video to show others how to do his current favorite project and he was all about it! I think he didContinueContinue reading “Crafting with Will: Origami Hat/Boat/Snapper”
Chalkboard Quotes: Be the Reason Someone Smiles Today
A few years back, right after we moved into this house, my sweet mother-in-law gave us this frame. It was another color and didn’t have anything behind it. We debated between using it to hang wreaths or other stuff in it or get a large picture printed for it. But I had wanted a bigContinueContinue reading “Chalkboard Quotes: Be the Reason Someone Smiles Today”
Blueberry Crumble Pie with Shortbread Crust
I love blueberries….any way you fix them. Growing up, my Grammy made a lot of blueberry muffins, blueberry cobblers, and, occasionally, a blueberry pie. For quite a few summers in a row, one of my Uncle Mo’s good friends provided a steady supply of fresh blueberries. Grammy always froze them and we had (almost) freshContinueContinue reading “Blueberry Crumble Pie with Shortbread Crust”
Hippity Hop-pity, Easter’s on It’s Way: Easter Bunny Garden with Peeps
My Mom always sang us the “Here Comes Peter Cotton Tail” song around this time. And, between her and Grammy, we were sure to have plenty of candy, including Peeps! I honestly don’t think you can have Easter without these sugary, marshmallowy, packages of cuteness. Yesterday, I needed to make a run for some labelsContinueContinue reading “Hippity Hop-pity, Easter’s on It’s Way: Easter Bunny Garden with Peeps”
Spooky Saturday
We love Halloween in our family….and not just because Clara and Kate’s birthday is on October 31st. Although it does make for an easy party theme. We like to decorate the house with lots of spooky stuff. We didn’t go all out this year because we’ve been so busy lately but here’s a few highlightsContinueContinue reading “Spooky Saturday”
Photo Friday: Mom’s 60th
My sweet Momma is 60 today! I know, I know…she totally doesn’t look (or act) that old. Last Saturday night we managed to pull off a major surprise Fiesta for her. I’m still not quite sure how we did it without someone spoiling the surprise but somehow we did…and it was GREAT! Here’s a fewContinueContinue reading “Photo Friday: Mom’s 60th”
Photo Friday: Prepping for Pinewood Derby
Garen, Will, and Dad (AKA YaYa-yes, we know that is actually grandma in another language but Will called him that as a baby and it stuck) worked hard on Will’s pinewood derby car last Saturday. Garen got some great photos for me to share. I love that they get the opportunity to spend time inContinueContinue reading “Photo Friday: Prepping for Pinewood Derby “
Last Minute Gifting: Family Movie Night
Have I ever mentioned that I am the queen of procrastination? Well, they say the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. So I’ll admit it: I wait until the last minute sometimes. Disclaimer: I did buy the almost all gifts early, mostly thanks to Amazon. Wrapping…now that’s a whole other story.ContinueContinue reading “Last Minute Gifting: Family Movie Night”
Patriotic Babies
These girls just turned 8 months a few days ago and, for our obligatory monthly photo, it seemed appropriate for them to sport their red, white and blue in honor of 4th of July. MaMa gave the girls these adorable patriotic outfits complete with matching Harlem Globetrotter headbands that she made. She even made aContinueContinue reading “Patriotic Babies”
