Sherry Carr-Smith is a fellow remarried widow. I met her at Blissdom, and we FINALLY connected and had a chance to talk on the very last night. I had never met someone in real life that I related to so much on that level, and I was a blubbering mess […]
Wow, I can’t believe we’re halfway through May already! Ivy finished preschool on Friday, and Henry’s last day of kindergarten is next week.
Holy moley.
Most of my pictures this week are from Instagram, except the first two.

We spent the day at the Deanna Rose Farmstead in KC with the Plum […]
My son takes his lunch to kindergarten every day. Every night, I make it for him. But, he has two lunch boxes (a tall one and a wide one), so if I’m packing one, I don’t bother looking for the other.
We also have ant issues here at the house. It’s […]
If you live in the Kansas City area (or know someone who does), don’t forget to enter my Mother’s Day giveaway!
Last week, my preschooler had bike day at school. It was supposed to coincide with W week (for wheels, you know) but of course, it was rained out. So, they […]
Do you love Mother’s Day as much as I do? Now that two of the kids are in school, they come home with little gifts that they’ve made; today I got a little sprout in a Styrofoam cup. I can’t wait to see what it grows up to be (Henry […]
Kimberly Muro is the honest, supportive, talented writer behind Mama’s Monologues. Her posts are oh-so-relatable (I may have had one of these exact days….many times). She’s not afraid to share when she’s struggling, which is always refreshing for the rest of us to read.
Kim is also a fabulous designer, and such […]
Most weekday mornings, I hit the snooze button three or four times. I rub my eyes, crawl out of bed, turn on the Keurig, and make breakfast.
I wake the (unwilling) kids and sit them at the table. They are met with warnings of what will happen if they don’t eat, […]
This week was full of sewing, rain, and soul-healing with a friend.
April 29
There was a family event at a farm in KC that got rained out, so we went to eat out and to explore Party City. Because that, my friends, is an event in and of itself. I was […]
For me, this week has been spent creatively (and perhaps, frugally). After pinning several DIY dresses in the last few months, I finally decided that it was time to try to make some. In the past three days, I’ve made six dresses, three of which I had no help on.
I […]
When I happened upon Samantha’s blog for the first time last year, I got so excited. I actually wished that my then-five-year-old son was a blog reader, because he would have LOVED the pirate theme. I still should show him, but then he’d ask every day to see it. Sam […]
