I don't know about you all, but I have been quite happy with the weather we've been having in Western Washington. Sunshine, Sunshine, Sunshine. Oh yeah! Both of my kids were in swimming lessons for the first time this past month and did great. They passed and are now ready to take their next levels. Do your kids take swimming lessons? With the summer season fast approaching, my mind tends to think about my Little Man's birthday. This year he is turning two and we will be having a party at … [Read more...]
Staining a Wood Deck
Remember, when I shared with you the first time my husband stained our wood deck? It was a long process to stain the front porch and back deck but the results were absolutely great! It is that time again to purchase more wood stain and do the process again. Thankfully, we live near Home Depot. We can find all the product and tools we need for this home improvement project.

Dinosaurs Party Ideas
My daughter loves dinosaurs. In fact, I am sure she'd love if I threw her brother a dinosaurs birthday party this year.

Dollar Store Valentines Gifts
Last week, I happily received a box of HERSHEY'S Valentine's Day candy (think Twizzlers, ROLO, Reese's PB Hearts, and Kisses...) As you can see above my kiddos were just as happy. Of course, starting a healthy living journey last week made it a little more difficult to do my normal over-splurge on chocolate. I was good though - I think I only had four peanut butter hearts all week. {That is really good for me! Those are my kryptonite!} After getting so many bags of awesome candy, we visited … [Read more...]
Loom Valentine Card with Printable
My Princess loves her loom bracelet maker. Is your child loving this fad right now? The single loom bracelet and the fishtail bracelet are her favorite to make.

She gets bored quickly so a small bracelet is something we do work on together. I actually think it is pretty fun too though. She picked red, pink and white for her Valentine's Day bracelet colors. We … [Read more...]
