Outdoor Movie Night #summerbucketlist

We went out at dusk (also known as the kids’ later summer bedtime), unfolded the camping chairs and settled in.

T started the projector (pointed at the garage door), and I got up fifteen times: made and delivered three bowls of popcorn, borrowed and lit the citronella coil, took the little […]

Project 365: Week 25

I can’t believe I’ve made it almost halfway through this challenge! Woohoo!

Okay, so this week, I did slightly better than last week at getting my DSLR out and using it. I did…um…twice. And the first time was because T reminded me that I should.

June 17

Sunday was Father’s Day, and the […]

Gluten Free Friday: TGIF Edition

I just got an oh so welcome phone call, and I had to share.

You know that our two (nearly three) year old was officially diagnosed with Celiac Disease in February. Well, we had her follow up appointment on Wednesday to talk to the doctor, check her weight, check the antibody […]

The Day She Taught Herself To Swim. #iPPP

Ivy, my second child and first girl, is so alike me in a lot of ways. She’s got a….unique fashion sense, a love of accessories, a super shy personality, and smarts.

She’s little Miss Independent, and since finishing preschool, she’s proven that over and over again. Doing her summer worksheets from […]

Great Expectations: It’s Blogworthy

Amanda Austin is the funny, adorable writer of It’s Blogworthy, a site that I’m always drawn to as a lover of entertain-o-smut. You know, the celebrity magazines, the entertainment “news” shows. She does a Celebrity Round-Up every week that honestly, is the way I get some of my “news” (I’m […]

To Their Daddy,

Happy Father’s Day, T.

You were the best thing that could have happened to the three (now five) of us.

Project 365: Week 24

So, this post should be titled “My Week In Instagram”, because once again, the DSLR has stayed in its case and I’ve used my camera phone all week (which will be great for the return of #iPPP next week).

It’s been kind of crazy with late evening bible school all week […]

Father’s Day Frosty #giveaway

This weekend is Father’s Day, as you all know. I was thinking family movie theater experience #2 (an item on our Summer Bucket List) but we should probably ask Daddy what he wants to do. Regardless of what he decides, we’ll be heading to Wendy’s for a frosty.

Why? Because now […]

The Return of #iPPP

You may have noticed an absence of the iPhone Photo Phun linky in the blogosphere lately. The original, fabulous hostesses Liz and KLZ have decided to no longer….well, host.

But don’t worry! I am SO excited to announce that the Link Up featuring Camera Phone Photos is BACK! Yes, yours truly, along […]
