Such a magical time of year. As I type this, I'm snuggled up with my oldest while he watches Harry Potter for the first time. He is almost done with book four so this is a fun treat. Late nights watching movies and playing board games is what Christmas break is all about. This holiday season we decorated gingerbread houses and baked cookies. It was our first attempt at Royal Icing. We have lots to learn, but it went well and the kids loved it. I'm doing whole30 so I ...
Family Life
Halloween Happenings
Before we get too deep into Christmas, we are still eating Halloween candy around here afterall, I've been wanting to share our Halloween. I share this stuff for me. I actually was at the zoo in early fall thinking about what the kids were going to be and what hand-me-down costumes would fit which kid.

Eleanor was a May baby, so it made sense. ...
Our Family Motto Printable

With school, multiple school pick up times, three nights of soccer, a night of dance, two-three soccer games a weekend, two baby monitoring appointments a week plus an extra OB appointment, family functions and keeping up with the house, laundry, grocery shopping and blogging on top of being very pregnant means we need one morning a week to just be. We usually do something special for breakfast. Hudson is in ...
Camping Birthday Party Printables
We custom made these camping birthday party printables to decorate for our sweet boys 7th campfire and s'mores birthday party. We are offering them to our readers as well. Seven starts with balloons and streamers. On Tuesday, October 6th Quinn turned seven. Seven sounds sounds so old. It just so happened I was 37 weeks (full-term) with our fourth (and most likely last) on his birthday. Talk about things coming full circle! I'm bummed that I didn't remember to grab a picture ...
