  • There are very few things I love about the Fall season.  Anyone who knows me well, knows that I don't tolerate mild or cold weather at all!  I'd take 100+ degree temps and humidity any day over a crisp, cool breeze.  But since I live in the midwest {for now} and the Fall season will…

  •   #PostCFK makes a difference in the world! As a blogger and a mom of 3 boys, nothing makes me smile just a little bit wider and brighter than when I get to be part of a campaign or a project that gives my kids and I the opportunity to do good.  Enter Post Champions…

  • I have been in this total "planning mode" for my sister's baby shower this weekend down in Austin.  Recently, when deciding on the menu, I got into a discussion with the kids about sandwiches.  We started talking about all kinds of off-the-wall and truly different sandwiches.  We even reminisced about that time we ditched our…

  • The kids' school is celebrating Dr. Seuss this week by having the kids wear wacky and fun hats & socks on Friday.  After going through our dress up bins down in our playroom to see what they could come up with, my oldest suggested making them out of a paper grocery bag, as we've done…

  • Pin It My kids are celebrating their 100th day of school and have some fun stuff planned in their classrooms today.  I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to pack a little fun into their day, too!

  • My William with his classmate and gal-pal, Miss B, while they watch their older brothers play football.  Just before I took this I was busy taking pics of the kids on the football field.  Then I looked over and saw how intently these two were watching the game.  I am so happy I took this…

  • I have been using my Motorola Xoom's video feature almost daily.  Seriously.  It's THAT good and THAT easy to incorporate into my everyday routine of running around with my kids to their daily activties. I've been able to capture video of their football games, their violin lessons, and other random cuteness.  Like this: It was…

  • I recently shared with you a bit about my new Motorola Xoom tablet.  What I didn't share is how much my kids freakin' BEG me to use it every. SINGLE.  DAY.  Well, the other day I finally caved.  Hubby was running my oldest to football practice so I was home with a bit of downtime…

  • During a recent visit, my mom had mentioned to Nathan how he should check out the book How to Steal a Dog (by Barbara O'Connor) from the library the next time he visited.  She went on and on about how great of a book it was and how it was set in North Carolina so…
