It's been a whirlwind around here. Yesterday, I was making all sorts of appetizers and dips for my annual Ladies Night Out Open House. With that being said, some of my favorites will be reflecting what my friends/vendors were selling last night at my open house. 1. My Origami Owl locket - Until about a month ...
Longing For Endless Summer Nights
Richard Marx isn't the only one ready for endless summer nights. We are, too. Bring on those endless summer nights, my friends. We. Are. Ready. For. Summer. In about two weeks (seven and a half school days, just in case anyone is counting...), school will be out for the summer. Nate is looking forward to some ...
Weekend Recap: I might be in the next hot dog eating contest…
Well, it was another weekend of fun for our household. And yes, this is a Weekend Recap post, not the normal Take a Trip Tuesday post because HOLIDAY. Yes, even we bloggers need to take time to enjoy the most current holiday and do all manners of partying and celebrating. But, not to fear. We'll ...
Fun Friday Favorites: One-Mile Fun Run, Father’s Night Out, & mad for plaid
Thanks for sticking around another week with me. I hope you're enjoying this blog as much as I am. Today, Maxim and I are off to his very last day of preschool with a field trip to the park with his classmates and teachers and parents. (sniff, sniff, tear on cheek.) Nate still has a ...
A dentist, a football player, and a singer…we’ve all got dreams
It's been a week of preschool graduation and reflecting on careers. On Monday, Maxim graduated from Share and Care preschool. And, it was just a perfect ceremony. They sang songs for us, we saw a great slide show, and then...watched as these little people walked across the stage to receive their diplomas. Oh, I was proud. How ...
Recipes for Memorial Day: Perfect Pasta Salad and Plop ‘n Drop Peanut Butter Krispies
(I wrote two posts today...this one giving you some GREAT and EASY recipes. And, one under the devotional tab.) (Yah, I guess I was in a typing mood to go and put up two posts in one day. I don't see this happening often. Because I'm just not that ambitious. Or creative.) I thought I'd ...
Nails and other little idols
It was hard for me to stay focused on just writing about a recipe or two today. Because I really wanted to write about shellac nails and how they are the devil. No, I'm serious. Last Friday, I posted in my Fun Friday Favorites one of my favorite nail looks that I'm in love with. Yes, ...

Weekend recap: And soon the American Pickers will be knocking on our door
The weekend was full of nonstop busyness and excitement. I am exhausted just thinking about all we did. First of all, I do want to thank all of you for praying for my Grandma Helen. She fell on Friday, was taken to Des Moines, where the orthopedic specialist chose not to operate on her femur because ...
Fun Friday Favorites: Jimmy Fallon, flatbread, & nails
Well, it's hard to believe that I've made it through a week of this blogging stuff. I really feel like a parent of a newborn...I'm staying up late with this thing, getting up early, and though I'm not changing poopy diapers or needing to nurse, I do have this motherly love in a ridiculously weird way ...
