It’s that exciting time of year again! The time where I reflect over the past year of blog posts and realize that I have accomplished a few things during besides driving my children to and from their various obligations and surfing Pinterest! And then I remember why I am so tired all of the time. […]

We’ve had a wonderfully full Christmas and are very blessed–and still recovering! I wanted to share a few images with you from our holiday, but if you know me at all, you’ll know I’m rather indecisive, so instead of choosing the best couple of pictures, I’m sharing dozens with you!

Last year (one year ago, yesterday) I tried to surprise my husband on his birthday by dragging him to the mall so I could participate in a flash mob singing of the Hallelujah Chorus. As it turns out, we spent the whole time trying to find a place to park, missed the singing, took forever […]
Handmade Personalized Ornaments

Guest post by my sister, Trina, who contributes a little insanity to the blog often. Thanks, sis! I have a tradition of giving each of my children an ornament every year.

I don’t really have time today for a lengthy tutorial or explanation, but since I was foolish enough post an incriminating picture of the havoc this cake wreaked on my kitchen, I thought I ought to show you the finished product. This was for my neighbor’s 10th birthday, which happens to be her Golden birthday! Her […]
