Holidays are like a time out; a big, giant pause from the day-to-day grind. A time for family, a time to count your blessings, enjoy your loved ones and make great memories. As I have grown older, my family has grown. My husband's family has become my family. Our brothers and sisters have gotten married. We have had children and now we have nieces and nephews. The bigger we get, the more fun we have. We celebrated Easter three times over the weekend. We celebrated Saturday ...

Decoupage Easter Eggs
A while back I was at Hobby Lobby and saw these paper mache eggs for cheap, cheap, cheap! I threw a bunch in our basket and thought, "Hmm...we can make some fun Easter crafts with these".

Wedding Crashing MOH Style

The fact it was St. Patrick's day makes her that much ...

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 ...
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. I grew up at home, with my mom and my three siblings. It is the only life I knew. It was a good life. My husband also grew up at home, with his mom, and his two siblings. We were on the same page. We both wanted me to be able to stay at home with our children. Obviously, we envisioned having a lot ...
