First I have to start off by saying that today was my grandma’s 80th birthday!! She’s my last grandparent who is still living, and she’s still going strong! She has three children (six if you count spouses), seven grandchildren (eleven including spouses), and six great-grandchildren so far. We will be celebrating with the entire gang [...]
My girls’ birthdays are exactly two weeks apart. They both love parties, so we try to plan something fun for them and a few friends. A couple weeks ago, my older daughter turned 9. We hosted a beach themed party in our back yard and had six of her friends over. They played on the [...]
My husband likes to take our girls fishing. Sometimes I go along, but I don’t have my own pole – or really care to. The lakes around here have a few fish in them, but my family hasn’t caught more than two that were big enough to eat. So, my husband decided it would be [...]
Yesterday was a pretty big day! My girls were both baptized: Our church practices a believer’s baptism, so when the girls were born, we dedicated them to the Lord. This means that we intended to raise them up to know Jesus, but they needed to make the decision for themselves that they would accept Him [...]
Lainey’s mom just sent me these photos, and I couldn’t resist showing them to you all. (In case you are just joining us, my daughter and I did a Walk for Crohn’s & Colitis on Saturday with my daughter’s friend Lainey who has Crohn’s.) You’re not even going to believe that I was there because [...]
I had a fun appointment this afternoon. I wouldn’t have done it for myself – my husband pushed me a bit. Ok, a lot. And my friend Jacki too. But I’m not sure how much of this story you want to hear, so let’s just say that I had an appointment with a new hair [...]
My girls and I went to my parents’ house this week while my husband had to stay home and work. We had a fabulous time playing outside, bringing our lunches to my dad’s work site, shopping for Easter clothes, going to the park (they still have merry-go-rounds in my hometown, believe it or not!), getting [...]
I’ve been taking a break from soap for a few days and working on putting together the finishing touches for our half bathroom. You can see where I started here, and the sneak peek here. Yesterday, I went to Hobby Lobby and the Goodwill to pick up some items to decorate with. I’ll start with [...]
The bathroom project is coming along nicely! It looks totally different, and I love it! Just need to add the finishing touches. Here’s a sneak peek: As you can see, I’ve chosen a light turquoise for the walls. I don’t think my camera captured the true color, but you get the idea. I changed my [...]
