That title has nothing to do with anything. Just a thing...I say...occasionally. Anyone else? Right now I should be blogging about an awesome craft I made while the kids were napping. Unfortunately, (those of you who follow me on Facebook already know this), my craft supplies became toys. They are MIA. Well, I found one in the craft closet and one under the couch. One is still missing. By the way I need to dust/vacuum bad. We have some cat-hair-tumbleweed action that I wasn't aware of. Thanks ...

Summer To Do: Swimming & Sparklers
You know how there are places that seem to be the backdrop to your childhood? Places where so many memories were made. The soccer field and grandma and grandpa's house are two of those places. My grandparents have twelve children. All, but two live within the same city and only one lives out of state. That isn't a coincidence. That is how they were raised. FAMILY. You can imagine when twelve children marry and have children and their children have children and we all stick around...it gets ...
Kiddo Randomness
Bare with me and my randomness. I just have so much to share. Judging by the Facebook response, we are all a little off kilter.

Living with kids, as you know (assuming you live with kids or have ever spent time with one), always brings something interesting to the table. Seriously, they find so much joy in ...
My Zucchini Is Bigger Than Yours
I wish I could explain to you just how exciting it was to pick food from our very first garden (check out the first garden post here). Kind of crazy that I didn't even know how the various things would mature, grow and produce vegetables. Literally no gardening knowledge (AT ALL!), some organic soil, water and sunshine is all it took. The best part was getting the kids in on the action and having them excited about eating healthy. Heck, it even made me wanna cook. Look it our ...
Summer To Do List: Sleepover
We have checked off a few things from our summer to do list (read more about our list here). One of those things was a sleepover. Quinn slept over his grandparents with his aunt, but never had anyone sleepover. My cousin Ian, who is 12, slept over. Quinn just idolizes him and thinks he is pretty cool. He was the perfect sleepover guest too, because I didn't have to worry about him getting homesick or missing his mommy. The most amazing thing about having children is everything is magical. You ...
