Pin It For a while now, I’ve had a new best friend when it comes to packing lunches. EasyLunchboxes are just that! Not only do my kids LOVE to eat out of them but I have little washing to do each day because these trays and coordinating lids are so easy to take care of! So…

So half the month is over and it's whizzed by, yet again! I had an awesome time celebrating my birthday last Thursday with my family.

My heart's in Texas. Last Wednesday my dad suffered a heart attack and thankfully although he was alone at the time, was able to drive himself to the emergency room. Doctors determined that he had major blockage in at least one artery which warranted putting a stent in. They also found a tear on one…

This past weekend we spent celebrating my mother-in-law’s 60th birthday. Her one wish was to take a family picture – kids, spouses, grandkids — the whole crew! So yesterday we headed out for family pics at a local portrait place. And, although they aren’t the style of photos I would necessarily go for, I am…
