My little brother is getting married this weekend! Things have been kind of crazy around here. My parents came into town Wednesday night and we ran out to Macy's with my soon-to-be sister to find her a dress for the rehearsal dinner. We were also looking for a pair of sparkly silver shoes to wear … [Read more...] about Easy, Cheap, and Fun Ideas for Spring Break
Some of the best conversations about life that I have had with my kids have come from a 30 minute session in front of the Tube.

I know this is late, but this week has been BANANAS.

There is a new movie coming out this weekend - just in time for Valentine's Day. Fifty Shades of Grey - have you heard of it? Haha. When the book originally came out I didn't pay much attention on purpose. I knew that it wasn't something that I wanted to set before my eyes (Psalm 101:3). But now … [Read more...] about Fifty Shades of NO

Happy Baby has extreme sensitivity to light, so anytime I turn the light on in his bedroom in the mornings or whenever we walk outside, he has a really hard time adjusting. The last couple of days when I have gone outside to get my little man from the pick-up area after school I have found him … [Read more...] about Easy Valentine Gift Ideas for the Teacher

I follow this gal on Instagram who has the most gorgeous house. Every room is so lovely and so simple. She does not hang ANYTHING on her walls.

Yesterday I turned 32. 32, y'all. I can feel my biological clock ticking something fierce. The other day it took me like 3 full minutes to get out of the position I was sitting in on the floor. What in the world? I thought that stuff wasn't supposed to happen until I was in my eighties? To … [Read more...] about Happy Birthday to Me… And YOU!!! (GIVEAWAY)
I grew up in New Jersey and we used to get so much snow this time of year. My brothers and I would take an old sled that didn't have the steel runners and climb to the top of our backyard playground slide and literally fly down and across the snow like an Olympian bobsled team. Now that I am a … [Read more...] about 11 Ways to Celebrate Winter in Florida

I threw on some workout clothes, got the boys settled outside playing, and then climbed on to the … [Read more...] about Locked Out
A few weeks ago the boys asked if they could go on the playground after church. I was less than excited about the idea because after a morning of early worship team rehearsal, 2 services, fellowship, and a giant bagel, I am ready to go home and start what you're supposed to be doing on Sunday … [Read more...] about Why I’m Glad My Kids Don’t Obey
The screen on my iPhone had been shaking for a couple of months and it got to the point where I couldn't even call or text anyone anymore, so I finally put on my big girl pants and headed out to the Apple store.
