Happy New Year Yall!!
Our Christmas was really good and despite terrible weather my in-laws made it for Christmas. But because of terrible weather we were all cooped up for about a week.

Trick or Treat

I am going to join the millions of bloggers who have posted their Halloween pictures. Why? Because all kids look cute dressed up in outfits. We had a bit of an identity crisis this year though. Ava wanted to be Spiderman, Claire wanted to dress up but not be a princess and Jorden was a [...]

There are many lists that circulate around the internet that say “You know your a mom when..” and they list all these funny reasons that usually ring true to the ears of mothers. Well today is one of those days where I feel like I am an observer more than a participant and I am [...]
