This week, we've been doing a lot of this:Getting back into the routine (this is the first full week of school since before Christmas) has been tough! After school, dinner, and homework, we all just want to crash. On top of all that, K got the nasty stomach bug on Tuesday afternoon and ...
Weekend Wrap-Up
We have had a super low-key weekend and it has been wonderful! On Saturday, we slept in (ok, only until 7:30, but that's better than usual) and then had chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast. Chocolate chip pancakes and biscuits with chocolate gravy are our go-to weekend breakfasts. After lounging ...
First Best Sisters
I found this in Kyndall's room the other day and it warmed my heart. It says "First Best Sisters." I LOVE that they are best friends--yes, they fight and yes, I sometimes feel like I want to lock them in seperate rooms for a while, but they love each other. And for the most part, ...
Via the Camera Roll
Our week in photos:On Monday, I had to take Kyndall to the doctor. (She had a UTI. Sometimes it just stinks being a girl!) While waiting, we played "Mother May I?"Another photo from the Christmas party on Wednesday. I'm saving this for the picture table at their wedding ...
It’s Been A Bad 24 Hours…..

Gingerbread Houses and Our Shopping Story
At 5 and 7, my girls are pretty good shoppers. I have learned that MY attitude dictates our shopping experience. If I am rushing and fussing, they are going to be more slow and uncooperative. If I am considerate that they want to look at things too, they are considerate as I look ...
Hot Mess
This morning was Monday from the moment my alarm went off....for the THIRD time. I had set it for 5am to get up and run, which I cancelled the second it started beeping. Then, when my back-up alarm went off at 6am, I hit snooze. Which I NEVER do. I am not one of those people ...

Guest Post: Kyndall West
So the countdown to Christmas begins. If you haven't heard me say it already, I LOVE this time of year! It's chaotic and busy and exhausting, but I enjoy every crazy second of it.Kyndall has been wanting to post on the blog for a while now, and she was so excited about her elf coming the ...
Thanksgiving Day
Happy Thanksgiving, ya'll!! Today starts my FAVORITE time of the year! This morning, the girls and I slept in. I got up around 7:30 and enjoyed a cup of coffee (or two) in the quiet. The girls stayed in bed until 8:45! I went in to wake them up, but they looked like this:I just ...
Pre-Thanksgiving Day
The girls and I spent the morning cleaning and washing clothes. We put the big tree up, but didn't decorate it yet. (Decorating for Christmas before Thanksgiving was a HUGE issue for me, but I'll get over it!) I took Max for a 2-mile run, because he is CRAZY hyper lately. I dropped him back off ...
An Attempt at Hunting, Girl-Style
Sunday afternoon/evening, we took the girls hunting. I love hunting and went a lot before the girls were born, but never saw anything big enough to kill. (This IS on my 30 Before 30 list, though!) Kyndall has been a few times with Justin before, but this was Libby's first time. ...
