It’s always nice to come home. The normalcy of our world is so nice to return to. We spent the last week visiting our Maryland family and we had a fantastic time! It was a week of firsts for the girls–at least a week of doing things they can really only do in colder areas […]
From my family to yours, have a wonderful Thanksgiving surrounded by those you are most thankful for!
Check out this post, featured this week on the DIY Dreamer! We are always looking for a fun little craft in our house–something that each of my girls can do. I stumbled across these super cute little turkeys in my search. I wasn’t really looking for them at the time, just checking out all the […]
In our house, we can already feel a little bit of Christmas peeking through. We are busily preparing our gifts. Creative little minds are buzzing about what to make this year for friends and family.

Yesterday we joined the many Americans who wished our country a Happy Birthday. We celebrated until we were just about knocked over from the exhaustion of the day. The way we began was with our small town’s parade. They do a wonderful job, but my most favorite part of this celebration is that every person […]
The Fourth is such a festive holiday. I have loved preparing for it every year. This year I had great plans, but my crazy sewing machine broke. I’m borrowing one, but the whole thing set me back a bit so I didn’t get to make exactly what I had planned. But that’s okay. Next year! […]
