Birthday Party Fun
Since the girls' birthdays are so close, they have always had joint parties. This year, they chose the Hartselle Aquatic Center as the location. We had a private party, so it was just the girls' and all their friends from 8-10 p.m. I think they were most excited about the ...
Just Be
At the beginning of 2013, I joined in on Ali Edwards One Little Word Challenge. My word was 'present', as in BE PRESENT. I am guilty of spending large quantities of time with my girls, but not much quality time. Be it my never ending to-do list or just my ADD, I find it difficult ...
5-year shots + pierced ears = 1 big girl!
I have been so tired lately. I was wondering why, when I eat right and exercise and go to bed at a decent hour, until I woke up during the night last night. Most nights, there are 4 of us in our bed. A queen-sized bed. And the 2 littles do not sleep like normal people, with ...

An interview with K and L….I’m a Project Life flunkie!
I've really been slacking with Project Life layouts lately. I hope to catch up on that a lot this coming week, and I knew I really wanted to dig deeper into the girls personalities on my summer layouts. They are both so unique and it blows my mind that these two completely different, perfect ...

Weekend Intentions…. Blah Blah Blah
Isn't it funny how one little sick girl can blow all your "intentions" right out of the water? We've all had the sinus crud the last few weeks, thanks to our bi-polar Alabama weather, but Libby's got worse this weekend. She started running a fever on Saturday. Luckily, her doctor ...
