  • Happy Memorial Day

    , ,

    As I pack up Emily to send her on her school trip to Washington, D.C. tomorrow, it's only fitting that I remember our trip there last summer and this layout from our album. Happy Memorial Day and thank you to all who have served!   Read more

  • Project Life – Week 15

    I've gotten almost 4 weeks of Project Life done this week and can't wait to blog them all. The only way I've gotten them done, though, is to go super-super simple. You'll see those layouts later this week.  For now, let's look at Week 15! This week included Easter and also the day the crazy… Read more

  • Starting over

    It's 8:30 am and I am starting the day over. This morning did not go well. There were fights with children, nervous children who have to take a big test today, forgotten lunches, and then neighbors who saved the day for all of us. Thank God – literally "Thank you, God, for giving me these… Read more

  • Overheard

    ,

    Overheard at our house this weekend: Pancakes Background: Tom and I each have different pancake recipes and the kids call them "Mommy pancakes and Daddy pancakes. Andrew: "What's the difference between Mommy pancakes and Daddy pancakes? Are Mommy's actually made with love and Daddy's aren't?"

My crazy husband (who wears shirts like that?!?!) and his little sister.  My sister-in-law and I rarely get time to have serious talks when we get together because… Read more

  • Until the ink runs out

    This is what I am doing today. Until the ink runs out. Which…..um……doesn't look so good. Read more

  • It’s not “nothing”

    ,

    There are some very nice people in this world and I don't think I am grateful enough for that some days. It's so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day and get frustrated. Or to focus on the negative or rude people around you. But those nice people that enter your life – man,… Read more

  • Alice in Wonderland

    ,

    A few weeks ago, Emily starred in her school's rendition of "Alice in Wonderland Junior." I've been wanting to blog these photos forever but because I have sooooooo many blog posts in my queue, I'm going to blog just a few and put the rest on Facebook.  We were so proud of her and so… Read more

  • Yet another weekend recap, Part I

    ,

    I've been away from my blog so long that I don't even know where to start. I am uncomfortably behind on Project Life and uncomfortably behind on scrapbooking in general. I've been so busy writing and doing other things (LIFE) that I am beginning to feel a bit of panic about what I need to… Read more

    The naked puppy is back! Read more
