When I first started looking at buying a digital SLR camera a few years ago, people would often tell me it didn’t matter as much what type of camera body I used as much as it did what lens I bought. I had no idea what they were talking about, so I just got an…
Now that our three older kids have hit the tween/teen years, I am trying my best to stay relevant with what’s happening in their world. I’m constantly updating our playlist to try to include music they like. I read teen/young adult books to stay ahead of what they are asking to read. And I do…
If you are super bored, this is a really awesome blog post about how I conducted a scientific experiment on myself to see if I could create a new habit. I apologize in advance that there is only one funny line in this entire post. Here goes… I’ve been a wee bit obsessed this year…
I’ve been talking about my birthday for so many days, I really do think it should be over by now! So this will be the last birthday post for at least another year, I promise! Seriously though, I feel extremely blessed with each birthday and the opportunity to celebrate another year of life. It’s kind…
On Monday, I got to hang out with two of my very favorite people, filling up my love tank with quality time for my birthday! The hubs took the day off work and our 5-year-old asked if she could miss preschool to go on a birthday adventure day. We were planning to spend the day…

I’m pretty much a 7-year-old when it comes to birthdays. I love celebrating birthdays, whether it’s for my kids, friends, random people or myself! You were all so nice…
For most people, it seems the birthdays that end in zero are the difficult ones mentally and emotionally. For me, it’s the years that end in 5 that are tough. It’s those years when you feel like you are half way through a decade. You’ve hit your mid-whatever years. You are now at the top…
We have lived in our new home for about 10 months now, and we still laugh about the first night we spent here. It was the middle of June and the evenings were still crisp and cool. We couldn’t wait to sleep with our windows open so we could breathe in the fresh air and…
This fall is going to be a huge year of transition for our family. Three out of four of our kids will be entering one of those milestone years in the school system. Our oldest son is going to high school. Our oldest daughter is going into junior high. And our youngest is going to…
