I thought a lot about falling in love. I pictured someone tall, dark and handsome. I imagined it would happen once, we would get married and we would live happily ever after. And I did meet someone tall, dark and handsome and I married him. But then it happened three more times. There names are Quinn, Eleanor & Hudson. I guess I never could imagine this love. Who could? I fall more and more love with them every.single.day. There have been a couple times recently when Hudson has been ...
FAMILY / HOME LIFE
I’m Calling it

For this project you will need: A science display board, a hot glue gun, cups (I used treat ...
Keeping Kids Active and Busy
I don't know if you know this, but I live in Wisconsin. I feel like this winter has been crazy cold. Way to many days well below zero. Way to many days stuck inside.

So today I wanted to share a few things we have found to get out some of that energy. Well three things to be exact. Three things that can be done right in ...
