It’s that time of year again! If school hasn’t started for you already it will be starting soon! The beginning of school brings with it so many things to keep track of – the papers! The schedules! The shopping lists! The homework and assignments! All of the meal planning for the crazy busy weeknights! If school…
It’s never too early to start planning for Thanksgiving. Why, you might ask? Because I’m pretty sure Thanksgiving is the most beloved and stressed-over holiday on the calendar. Every. Year! Oh sure, it’s all about fun, family, and food (and football says my Husband) but it’s also the biggest meal of the year and everything…
august is always a whirlwind of a month, though i guess it depends on when your kids start school. ours start the middle of august which means this month is jam-packed with all the things we didn’t get around to doing over the summer break + getting ready for school which always seems like such a…
Back to school brings mixed emotions in my home. For the kids, of course, it’s mostly sadness that the hazy lazy days of a hot summer have come and gone. It’s back to school and “too much homework” as they always say. For myself, as a Mom of a growing brood, there are the pros:…
I love my kids! I really do. I also love that little bit of free time once their cute little noses are snoring in their beds rather than nuzzled up against the back of my thigh as I try and do the simplest of tasks in the kitchen. But as anyone knows with lots of…
It’s back to school time! I can’t believe the 2018-2019 school year is already here! I’m pretty sure I blinked and summer came and went. 🙁 One of my favorite parts of the school year is the first day when I get to take pictures of each of my kids and compare them to previous…
i really look forward to the month of july, even if it does remind me of just how fast summer is flying along. i mean, who doesn’t love the summer heat, celebrating the 4th of july with fireworks, bbq, and watermelon, lemonade, and my personal favorite: limeade with mint leaves. swoon. i grow mint in my…
i absolutely love this time of year! school is out, water balloons and pools and waterparks are all the rage, the air smells like suntan lotion, and the sun is bright in the sky – it is finally getting hot out without being TOO hot just yet. my kids have a bucket list of things…
this year has just been humming right along. i can’t believe it is the month of may already! i’d say that i’m happy to have the sunny spring/summer weather here, but we have hardly had any! it actually snowed today. on the 30th of april! i just can’t believe it. so here’s hoping that may brings…
this post is a day late getting published. i’m so sorry! this past weekend was a super busy one – way busier than usual. though it was busy it was definitely fun – our church had its semi-annual general conference (which i totally love and look forward to!), which happened to land on easter weekend (which…
if there is one thing i love to eat more than anything else it is pasta. creamy, dreamy, cheesy, delicious pasta. when my husband and i were newlyweds and i had little to no experience preparing food, i would often go to the grocery store and buy three things to make my favorite meal: cheese…
this year is just humming right along! i am looking forward to march as a new month with a fresh slate. it’s a time to start new goals for myself and this free monthly calendar is perfect for writing in all those goals, all my to dos, and everything in between. though, as a side…
hey ya’ll! we’re zooming through february as fast as january came and went. each year i think time can’t pass any faster and each year it does. maybe it’s just me but it seems life gets more and more hectic with each passing day. so many distractions and always so many things begging for our attention….
