Instead of an expensive wedding we opted for a an affordable family getaway. So the hubs is off and we are clocking some awesome family time before the sister's big day. Next week I will be posting our big celebratory giveaway (You know, the YAY! we made it to a 1,000 Facebook likes celebration). I hope to also have a wedding crashing post. Of course the morning was crazy hectic. By the end of it I don't even know what we threw in the car. Thank god the in-laws let us borrow ...

Our Living Room
It is gorgeous out today! I mean GORGEOUS! The kiddos and I went to the zoo. We do that a lot around here.

If you read my post yesterday (here), you know that I am all about family and appreciating what we ...
How I Came to be a SAHM
I have always wanted to stay at home with my children. There are few things in life I have ever been so sure of. This could stem from myself never having to go to daycare or a sitter.

We both wanted me to be able to stay at home with our children. Obviously, we envisioned having a lot ...
