I've been back to school 3 whole days and look what happens to my blog--it goes downhill. It's embarassing, I tell ya! Somehow, my brain can't wrap around work, and soccer, and shirt-making, and blogging all at the same time--it wants to just shut down and get on Pinterest! On ...
Hello August!
The last few days of summer are quickly dwindling away. I have 3 days left, but who's counting? We've been doing a lot of back-to-school preperation around here. Purchasing school supplies, picking out a few new outfits, and backpack shopping.I think shopping for a backpack has ...
Birthday Traditions

A birthday story, part 2
Six years ago today, our world was completely changed in the best possible way. We became parents for the first time. On August 1, 2006, we went to the hospital to get ready to meet Kyndall Malynn. The plan was to induce at 7 am, so Doctor Loncar asked me to check in to the ...
Birthday Party Bash **Warning: Photo Overload**
This year, the girls decided to have their party at Chuck-E-Cheese. It drove my little planning-heart crazy to let someone else do everything, but I gave in. They were so excited. I think the biggest thrill for them was getting to go into the "Ticket Blaster" and catch as many ...

Summer Wishes
Some days, I wish I could send my girls to daycare. They need a break from each other, and I need a break from them. Today has NOT been one of those days. Days like today make me seriously consider homeschooling. I so want to soak up days like today. Our day went something like this. I woke up ...
Gossipy Girls
Last night was Kyndall's Girls of Grace class at church. The lesson was on gossiping, and how we need to use our mouths for good and not for bad. I think it was a perfect lesson--I have been amazed lately at how early we females start critiquing each other!Here is K with her friend, ...
