By now – no doubt – we've all heard about the passing and sudden death of arguably the most iconic artist in the entertainment & pop music world. THE Michael Jackson's contribution and talent have been witnessed by many of us. For me, the saddest part of his tragic death is the fact that my…

Recently I shared the awesomely cool Lego blog with Nathan that I came across by chance one day. He has truly been inspired and decided to start creating his own little Lego scenes. He's claimed the ledge beneath our fireplace as his 'Lego Town' and is seen there daily coming up with different scenes. Then, just two…
This is not a me-shaking-my-finger-at-other-moms post, but I will have to admit, I did do a bit of finger shaking last week at something I witnessed. I was in the parking lot of Target getting ready to leave and as I entered my car, I looked up and saw that the car parked in front…

The kids and I officially kicked off our summer break today by heading to the Farmstead for a picnic, outdoor play, and a hayride. The weather was perfect in my book! Just beautiful! The kids were SO well-behaved during the entire outing and even came straight home and took two hour naps – willingly! Tonight…
