Lots Going On Around Here
It’s been such a whirlwind of activity around here lately that I can barely keep up. In between shop orders and Christmas decorating we’ve had various little colds and stomach bugs.
KRE-O Transformers Are a Perfect Fit for My Boys
With 3 boys in the 6-13 age range, I have to find toys that they can share but still fit their unique personalities. They love all things heros, building, power, wheels, anything monster-like. True boys. No doubt about it.
Dollar Store Decorating Week!
I have really been looking forward to this week. I’m joining up with my friends and doing some dollar store Christmas projects. Whoop! Whoop!
Three Special Trees
The trees I am showing you today are Grace and Jacob and Hope’s contributions. As my 3 oldest children, they weren’t as into it as the younger set.
Finally Getting the Family Photo Taken
We dragged a couple of bales of hay over to our red storage building, hung last year’s wreath on the door and called it done. Line up kids….let’s take your picture.
10 Minute Christmas Table Decoration
I decided to do something silly and easy. I rounded up some jars and some leftover ribbon and spray pint, bought a few bags of marshmallows and went to town.
A Forest or a Mantle…Who Can Tell?
Instead of the typical adorable, fancy mantle I usually do I decided on something different this year. I wanted a whole forest of trees and to get all of the kids in on the action.
White Lights and Runny Noses
The weekend was pretty normal. It’s nice to have a normal weekend every once in a while.
Except that we were sick. We have some kind of cold that has us all dragging around wishing for soup.
Pinterest Friday, Holiday Edition #1
My little Christmas board is smoking hot….it’s chugging along trying hard not to burst with all of the great holiday ideas I’ve pinned lately. I can’t stop. It’s too wonderful.
My Brain Works in Mysterious Ways (at Least to My Husband)
There’s been so much coming and going lately that I haven’t been as good as I should about keeping up with the money.
I collect and spend and pile the receipts on the table next to my recliner.
