Grace turned 16 this week…sweet sixteen! Such a fun milestone birthday, so of course we have a special celebration planned this weekend. I’ll be sharing a blog post about the actual party soon, so check back for ALL the details. Without revealing too much about the theme of the party (we want some surprises for […]
college send off
Well, it’s official…my oldest daughter is a college student! We ALL survived the college move in day last week. Just a few tears were shed…and not all by me. It will be a time of adjustment for our family (Audrey included), but I feel good about where she is and the care she will receive […]
cardboard boat regatta
We had some fun participating in a cardboard boat regatta a few weeks ago! We’ve been spectators at this event several times, but this year we decided to give it a go and create our own boat. The rules are that the boat can only be constructed using cardboard and duck tape, and that there […]

My oldest daughter ended her high school softball career last month. It was a bittersweet time at our house…she was definitely ready for a break from the schedule, but she also knew this was the “end of the road” for this sport. Although, I told her she may decide play in an intramural league someday… […]

picture perfect flowerpot
Mother’s Day is just around the corner, so it’s time to start thinking about ways to thank mom (or grandma) for all she does! My favorite gifts have always been the handmade kind…they are priceless, and they come from the heart. I still love the stepping stones that my girls (and their dad) made for […]
washi wednesday–may day baskets
May Day baskets are a tradition of simpler times. People would gather all the flowers that the April showers brought and arrange them in pretty baskets, and then hang them on the doors of friends and neighbors as a way of welcoming the warmer weather. Of course, May Day is not celebrated by many people […]
washi wednesday–containers
If you’re a mom of girls, you probably have bobby pins and hairbands scattered around your house, car, and purse. They are everywhere! Of course, we never seem to be able to find one when needed…my girls are always digging through my purse to find a hairband! As I was throwing out some empty prescription […]

A few months ago, we decided to move our youngest daughter from a twin size bed to a full size. Easy enough, right? Well…I forgot I needed to purchase all new AND larger linens. Sheets, bed skirt, down comforter, duvet, mattress pad, and more pillows. Did I leave something off the list? After the bed […]
