This is not My Insanity–but I wish it were! Back in the middle of my April craziness, I got to sneak away for gourmet group at my friend, Jennifer’s house. She and Alicia went all out creating this evening in Wonderland (as in Alice in Wonderland) for us. I asked them if I could share […]

Saturday evening we had a Progressive Dinner with all of our neighbors that live on our street (except for a couple that couldn’t make it). It was a lot of fun and a great way to build better relationships with those around us, so I thought I would share. The whole thing was the brainchild […]

(Guest Post by Trina, one of Kendra’s crazily creative sisters) When my oldest son turned 11, he asked for a Bionicle Birthday.

I didn’t even […]
