Are any of you as overwhelmed as I already am? And it isn’t even December, yet. With so much to do each day, meal prep often gets pushed to the bottom of my list. To top it off, I’ve been trying to start a new eating plan (a.k.a diet). (Who does that right before…
Thanksgiving is frighteningly near. Have you thought about what you will do with and for the children on the big day? Here’s a collection of my best kid-friendly ideas from all of my Thanksgivings past. I hope it inspires you on how to get your kids involved this holiday: 1) Kids LOVED making individual…
My daughter (who has a thing for hair) was heart-set on a Rapunzel birthday. Using some great internet resources, a bit of imagination, and a lot of friends and family, we threw a Tangled adventure for the birthday girl and her friends. Where to begin? How about with my little Rapunzel herself and the gorgeous…
Happy Veteran’s Day! Today I’m sharing some ideas about how to say thank you to those who sacrifice the most for us. A couple of summers ago, I was asked to come up with a service project for the young women in our church to participate in at their summer girls camp. Our…

I blogged about our 2010 Thanksgiving celebration last year, but not until I’m sure you had all moved on to Christmas, so I’m going to post it again. It was full of inexpensive DIY details. We were fortunate to get to spend Thanksgiving with much of my side of the family in Utah, this year….
Ok. I know I said I was done with Halloween and I’m pretty sure you all are, too. But I have just a few more pics to share. I was able to get pictures of the kids in their costumes in the daylight, Monday before they went Trick-or-Treating. I also wanted to show you the…
Did you happen to check the calendar this morning? I know. It’s November! How did that happen? On my calendar that also means that it is time to refocus on being grateful and preparing for Thanksgiving. I’ve actually been wanting/needing to do this for a long time–it shouldn’t just be a November thing–but I’m hoping…
So I think you all figured it out! We had an OZ-some time at our church’s Halloween party on Saturday night. And we went as the Characters from The Wizard of Oz! Of course, we were running a little behind schedule, so the light was about gone by the time we started taking pictures. I…
