Spring Break or Spring Work?
Credits can be found here. This week is crazy. It's Spring Break for the kids – this week AND next. Why, oh why, do they need two weeks?! So far, yesterday was crazy. Fights, yelling, slamming doors, whining, begging for sweets, and all of that before noon. It's really not a break. It's really… Read more

Weekend excitement
Well, whew. That was quite the weekend! Our weekends usually look like this: Friday night: Family Movie Night with pizza and a movie and couch snuggles; Saturday: clean house, do laundry, play outside, eat more pizza, go to bed; Sunday: read the paper, go grocery shopping, get all kids ready for a week of… Read more

maybe, just maybe…
Sawyer might be figuring out who's boss. 🙂 Knock on wood. We took him to a dog trainer last weekend and realized all the silly mistakes we were making and, one week later, he's really behaving a lot better. And I tend to catch him like this – still and peaceful – a little… Read more

unbelievable cruelty
Well, this post is going to be dramatically different than I expected. I am absolutely sick and incredibly saddened this morning by something I witnessed after dropping the kids off. Our weather is starting to get a bit warmer and, with the warmer air, we are seeing more and more birds, ducks, and geese in… Read more

In Loving Memory
One of the hardest parts of leaving ScrapSupply was having to leave a fabulous group of friends on the Design Team. We'll always be friends, but there's something special about working with someone every day. Tania is one of those friends. And a couple of years ago, Tania went through one of life's heartbreaks.… Read more

budgets
I hate budgets. I hate dealing with bills and deadlines and all that financial stuff. But, when we divided up chores once we had kids, it became my job because I'm more organized than dh, not to mention that dh's method of balancing the checkbook entailed spending until his debit card was rejected. I spent… Read more

My dog is smarter than I am.
Sawyer is going to be the death of me. Totally outsmarts me all the freakin' time. And yesterday was the icing on the cake. He's four-and-a-half months old. He probably weighs around 40 pounds, so he's not quite halfway to his adult size. But, he's still big!!! Anyway, we were getting so frustrated with… Read more

black + color = happiness
How about a scrappy post? Okay? Okay! (one of my dh's little sayings that we all laugh about all the time – as in, "Hey kids. Go clean your rooms. Okay? Okay!") Last weekend when I decided to run away and go scrapping, I didn't want to take too much with me. I hadn't… Read more
