I know it’s only the middle of November and I should just calm the eff down but I got a reader request to write about Christmas traditions. Tradition by definition is a long-established custom or belief that has been passed on. Every family has a tradition that is passed on from generations before but I… Continue reading The Elf Cometh
I’m In The Picture (week 5)
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
Life is Good #100
A while back I started gratitude journals for Brent and I and the 2 older kids. You can read about it more HERE. Sadly since life around here is in a transition of boxes and chaos, we haven’t quite gotten back into a routine of writing in them nightly or making the kids write in… Continue reading Life is Good #100
Girl Power
There has been a lot of talk about bullying in the news lately. Every week I turn on the TV and see another story about an extreme case of bullying that ends in suicide. 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
It’s tattoo tuesday! This tattoo is on my outer arm just above my wrist. It’s my take on a very popular tattoo image making the rounds on Pinterest using the word “love”. 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
I’m In The Picture (week 2)

We pulled out all our dress-up clothes and costumes and each of the girls picked out what… Continue reading I’m In The Picture (week 2)
