This Sunday, July 15th is our six year wedding anniversary. I blogged about it last year (you can read about that here) and included all sorts of deets from our big day. This year I had the genius idea to make a vlog (video blog). This is especially shocking since I avoid the camera like the black plague. This wasn't planned. It was kind of like: The kids are in bed. "Ross sit down. We are making a vlog for our anniversary". And then we did. I haven't watched it back, which means ...
BEST SELF
Summer Fun
Can you believe it is almost July?! Summer is flying by. Nothing beats being a kid in the summer, nothing. My best memories are from summer days. Anyone else? I think we are going to kick off July with a Summer MUST-DO-LIST. I don't want summer to get away from us and wish we would have done this and that. Nothing elaborate.

Our basketball team had made it to Regional or Sectional play. I don't know which, but I ...
I Thought You Should Know…
I honestly cannot tell you what drove me to start this blog. I had already picked a name and half tried once before, gotten frustrated and given up. Then my sister was moving to Georgia and starting a blog, I had just had a baby and was staying home and it just seemed like the perfect time to give it a try. So I dove right in with no clue of what I was doing. I didn't know what a widget was. In fact, I kept referring to it as a gadget when I was talking to Ross. Anytime I asked him for help, I ...
Tuning In
If you are a parent you probably know how easy it is to get caught up cleaning the house, cooking dinner, working on the computer, etc. Sometimes those things are necessary, but tuning in to your children is just as necessary. In case you are wondering, both kids are napping, so this is MY time. I am mom all day every day and not all day every day can or should be about my kids. I try really hard to make sure that we get the most out of each day. I think my kids are awesome. Not in a ...
