Quinn stayed home from school today sick. That kid is pretty miserable and I keep waiting for him to get better. Hudson was all kinds of crabby since he decided to wake up at 3 AM! Ross and I tag teamed until 5 before we finally gave up. Quinn was up crying and burning up and it seemed frivolous to pretend we were getting more sleep. Quinn lounged all morning, snuggled in our bed and watched TV. We had some unseasonably warm weather--77!! here in Wisconsin. Since we will be buried in snow and ...

We Made it Six Years
Today is Quinn's sixth birthday! The little guy who made me a mom is one amazing boy. It also happened to be his golden birthday, but there were no "Pinterest" worthy parties.

I have a lot I want to share, but today I am just going to focus on the dessert table/feature wall. The wall went from fall: to Pirate Party: To Halloween: We ...
A Must See
Those of you who follow me via Instagram (balancinghome) and Facebook know that my iPhone bit the dust. I had a serious moment of panic, because many of the videos and photos that were on that phone were gone. There was one video in particular that I was pretty heartbroken about. I am so happy to report that I found the video! And now I am sharing it with you. You all should really watch...it is kind of a MUST SEE :). ...
