Hudson is obsessed with trains. He makes Eleanor hold his shoulders, calls himself a black steam engine and runs around the house yelling, "all aboard" and "choo choo". In fact, Saturday morning while Ross and I enjoyed our coffee and the kids collected sticks for my wreath (check that out here), they also ran in circles around the train track we drew on the sidewalk with chalk. Well that box I cut a hole in for my wreath that I referenced earlier this week, became a train. It wasn't a plan, ...

My Growing Boy
This post brought to you by Stride Rite. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Balancing Home.

Were you unaware it ever went out of style? I decided to bust out my doodling ...
Lighthouse Climb & Finding Balance
This past weekend we were able to visit our town's lighthouse. It was a scheduled lighthouse climb day. You have to be six to do it, so only Quinn qualified. Since I'm very pregnant, I let Ross hike up to the top of the lighthouse with him. He did facetime us from the top though! We had to get there early to secure our spot. Even though the other kids didn't get to climb, they enjoyed their time. Lately, I feel like I am being pulled in so many directions in my ...
Make Cheap School Supplies Fun & Durable
This post brought to you by The Duck Brand. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Balancing Home. It is officially back to school season. Notice the supply displays in all the stores? Some of my friends from other parts of the country are already back at school! We don't start until September 1! We all like pretty things, but sometimes the 15 cent folders just make more sense. Amiright? If you want to stock up on the more bland and cheaper school supplies, I have a super fun ...
