Love is……
A handmade, fleecey blanket.
My sweet eight year old daughter is growing up so fast, but it brings me great pleasure to see her interested in creating things with her hands.
What seems to be a growing trend, many of my dear friends and mommies, like me, are trying to bring back the art of homespun simplicity.
Back in the day, it was the only [...]

The Joy of Gift Cards
Santa had a really tough year this year at our house. Both of our kids had really specific wishes for Christmas. Unfortunately, Gillian’s had to come early, so Santa was not able to deliver the ferrets to her. Hayden wanted the Photoshop Suite, which Kip and I had already planned to do. So Santa decided to take the objective route thi [...]
A New Recipe Favorite

2. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor [...]
Third Week of Advent – Peace
Star was transformed into the Manger
Loving the Gift Series that we are going through this Advent season.

Pioneer Day 2011
Sadly this was my last 2nd grade Pioneer Day. It is one of my favorite curriculum days, I think both of the kids agree. It is hard to believe it has been two years since Hayden’s Pioneer day! I must say it is a completely different experience with a daughter. A
My dear friend, Stefani and her husband did a fabulous job in the pioneer [...]
The Greatest Gifts
Truly, the greatest gifts cannot be purchased. I pray it does not take my children as long to figure this out as it did me. As we quickly approach the third week of Advent, I feel as if I have received the most valuable gifts of today.
I do not know if I could even share how I feel at this moment in a way that could really give it justice [...]
