Ice cream kids birthday party

This ice cream themed slumber party was a perfectly sweet birthday treat!

Being a mom to my children is such a big part of who I am. Here are a few thoughts I have on Mother’s Day this year.

We never forget the reason for this holiday, and always make it the main focus.  BUT for me, an added bonus to the holiday is dressing our family up in our Easter Sunday best.

I fill my kiddos’ Easter baskets with a variety of items to encourage their creativity and get them ready for a summer in the sun!

A few years ago, my husband and I sat together on the couch after we’d put the kids to bed on Christmas and both said something to the effect of, “they got way too many presents this year.”  Instead of appreciating each gift and feeling the excitement of unwrapping presents, they had set a record […]

Ever since I was a little girl, my dream was to be a mommy. I wanted a lot of kids and really hoped for multiples. I grew up, got married and naively thought I’d just get pregnant whenever we were ready. BUT I hadn’t had a menstrual cycle since I was 15 years old and my husband had testicular cancer when he was 21.
