Advent calendars are one of those things I would like to hoard…kind of like how I hoard shoes, jewelry, and lounge pants. I get all happy inside when I see them…they instantly make me think of my childhood and how exciting Christmas can be! It takes everything I have to resist the urge to buy…
Hello again! It’s Jessica’s sister, Rachel. I wrote a post awhile ago about some activities you can do with your kids to help them with their math. In case you missed it, I live in Wyoming, have a wonderful husband, Andy, and a 4 month old little boy, Ryan. Since I had a baby this…
Hey ladies! Today I was on Studio 5, sharing three yummy recipes…here’s the scoop: Okay, this is after the show with the host, Brooke, and my sweet sis-in-law, Emilee…who is the best helper ever! I was missing Jessica, terribly. Boo hoo. They are all easy and all great variations of your standard mashed potatoes….
Hello! My name is Camille, adoptive mother of five children, all of whom have the same birthmother (it is a long story that has been over 10 years in the making!). I first experienced motherhood by getting three children within 14 months of each other (and each with only about 15 minutes notice). Did I…
You know how you walk in the stores and they are already playing Christmas music?? Do you groan or do you love it? I think I do a little of both…a cringe-smile. A cringe because I don’t like to overlook Thanksgiving and I REALLY don’t like feeling hounded by retailers. But, I smile because I…
I realize this is a sensitive subject, and that many women who are going through this are at different stages in their lives, relationships and emotional places. I don’t claim to know exactly what you are going through, but I have been there. Nick and I have two beautiful children- Halle, who we got pregnant…
Today, my little Shane told me…”Thanksgiving and Labor Day are pretty much the worstest holidays there is.” And I said, “Well, we’re gonna change that. Thanksgiving is NOT going to be lame at our house. Maybe Labor Day, but not Thanksgiving.” Thanksgiving deserves some recognition too! Immediately, I knew a blog post was budding, as…
Hi there – my name’s Laura (otherwise known as Lupin). I’m completely obsessed with felt – I sell my felt brooches, headbands and masks plus felt squares, buttons and other colourful crafting supplies on my website. I also write about all my crafty antics on my blog, Bugs and Fishes. I’m delighted to have been…
Hello! My name is Kate and I have a blog over at http://www.courtandkate.blogspot.com/ if you wanna check it out. Nothin’ special, just an outlet for my occasional creativity and snarkiness, and a place to record the hilarious things my two little chicks say. Muchas gracias (uh, I don’t really speak Spanish) to Mariel and Jessica…
Being organized gives me happy feelings. I have found that with 4 little kids, there are some things that are pointless to organize: the playroom, my makeup drawer (two little girls), my hair accessories drawer (two little girls), and their rooms! I just have to bite my tongue, take a chill pill, and realize that…
My cute daughter Halle’s birthday is in a month, and I’m preparing early. Her birthday is also and the beginning of December, so I have to deal with a birthday and Christmas close together without spoiling her too much! Here is a post for 5 year old girl gift ideas. Gift Ideas for 5 Year…
I’m Katie, mother of 4, wife of a busy Family Practice Resident Doc, Bernese Mountain Dog Puppy owner, and I run my own Photography and Event Design Business. My website is http://www.katiebphotography.com/. I pretty much live in utter chaos 🙂 I spend a large portion of my time at home editing images, doing online marketing,…
