Ok, I’m all caught up on this project. I never thought taking a simple picture of me with the kids would be so much work. It just goes to show how important this project really is and how easy it is to NOT be in the picture.
I’m In The Picture (week 4)
Telling the kids to “clean up” can sometimes turn into dumping and playing. I think it’s time for a pre-Christmas purge. What do you think? (a week late, I know. It’s been stressful around here but I’m still on it.)

I’m In The Picture (Week 3)
All 4 of our kids go to music class at MUSIC & PLAY. It’s a brilliantly run program that teaches all levels and ages how to play piano and the theory behind it. The program is 100% parented and requires daily practicing but it’s worth it for us, or rather me, to make that commitment.… Continue reading I’m In The Picture (Week 3)
Dirty Dishes: Weekly Meal Plan
Phew, doing a weekly meal plan for a family of 6 is hard work. Keeping it interesting and new is even harder. Since starting my weekly meal planning I’ve compiled over 120 weeks of meals. WOW. Impressive, I know right? But when you’re cooking for 6 people, you can’t get home at 5pm from music… Continue reading Dirty Dishes: Weekly Meal Plan

The video of Amanda Todd’s story had me sobbing. I am heartbroken that children can be so devastatingly mean to each… Continue reading Girl Power
Tattoo Tuesday – New York Ink

I like to take inspiration from what is popular but adapt it to make it individually my own. To me, this tattoo is… Continue reading Tattoo Tuesday – New York Ink

Time For Botox?
I was getting ready to go out to an event and Brigette (9) was hanging out with me in the bathroom. I did my hair, picked out an outfit and got dressed. I was looking at my face in the mirror when this conversation happened… Brigette: You look different. Me: Really? How do I… Continue reading Time For Botox?
