Road Trip to Oregon…That Didn’t Happen
This week my dad had a work trip from Sunday through Thursday in Oregon. He decided to take my mom and my Princess. She was quite excited to be going on a big road trip to Oregon and happily packed up her clothing, snacks, and toys. We were all set - everything was placed by the front door ready for her Papa to pack in to the sport utility vehicle. She stayed the night at their house so they could get up in the morning early and leave. The plan was to leave her in her pajamas and carry her out … [Read more...]

Living Your Best Life
This has been a busy summer. Having a second child and keeping up with this blog has made life hectic. What is supposed to be a relaxing time off at home this summer has been anything but.

It is back to school time. Even though we are homeschooling, we still are getting ready for school this back to school season. We are preparing for one more year of preschool, but this year we will call it Pre-K. I have already been shopping for some new clothes for my Princess (who is growing like a weed), school supplies, and workbooks. During this time of year do you get the chance to help out other children? I know there are many children who will be going to school without the necessary … [Read more...]

Children’s Artwork Idea
A family friend gave my mother a gift for Easter that was such a great idea, I decided to duplicate it. Truly an amazing children's artwork idea. Make cards out of your child's artwork! Pretty simple, huh? My daughter loves drawing pictures but I can't keep every one of them. I already knew that about the idea of scanning the artwork and making a book, but some of the her more "favorite" pictures can easily be made into blank note cards. Here is one of her pictures which I named "Happy … [Read more...]
