Hi! This is Nicole ~ Wife to Rick, Mom to Kyndal (15), Dawson (13), Eli (6) and Brynne (4). My kid’s birthday parties …. I love ’em! I’m one of those moms who insists on planning my kid’s birthday parties myself and doing it all from scratch, even though I know that it would be…
My family and I are pretty patriotic. Growing up, our town did not have their own 4th of July Parade, so my parents held a neighborhood 4th of July Parade with friends and family every year. 33 years later, this family tradition is still going strong. My siblings all host parades in their respective hometowns,…
Last year for Father’s Day, Mariel shared her mans favorite things with you to give you some ideas for the man in your life…. this year it’s my turn. I’m really excited to share with you some of my hubby’s favorite things- he has great taste in everything from clothes to knick- knacks. He’s very…
Summer is all about playing outside, friends, and getting really wet…but, all mom’s know that those things only hold kids attention for a couple hours, at the most. Then they trudge in the house, dripping wet, sweaty, and muddy…you pull out the popsicles and try to send them back out but “no“. They’re sick of…
I’ve been thinking long and hard about something cute that we could do for Dan, for Father’s Day. I wanted it to be something that really got the kids involved and that they were excited about…so, I thought, and thought, and thought…and it finally came to me! Whoo, love when that happens! Here’s my idea……
Gift Ideas for Women: I love putting together “theme gifts,” and last year I shared some Mother’s Day Ideas (Part 1) for: the baker, the bird/nature lover, the book worm, diva, and gym rat. So, I thought I would do that again this year…with different themes, of course. Alright, first up… ~ The Traveler…
I don’t know about the rest of you, but one of the hardest things for me about getting married is losing contact with your friends, having no TIME to spend with friends, and having a hard time making new friends. Can you relate?? Life really has it’s way of sucking up your free time and…
This wonderful family idea shares the Easter story for children. Use Easter eggs to demonstrate the true meaning of this religious holiday.
We celebrated St. Patrick’s Day a little early at my house, and it was all for you! I’m not going to make a St. Patty’s meal twice…and I needed some pictures to show you BEFORE the big day. So, that’s love. Remember it, always. The measure of a true friend is someone willing to give…
My cute neighbor brought these over one day, and I ate them so fast Nick didn’t even have a chance to try one! So I made these for him today. They are so easy even the kids enjoyed helping me. It actually took a couple of tries to get them to “look” just right. But…
I’m not very good at talking dirty, just ask my husband. In fact, he would probably say the dirtiest word to come out of my mouth is “mud”. I can’t…I just can’t do it and be serious at the same time. I start laughing. So, I needed to get him something for Valentine’s Day. We…
Ever wonder why we celebrate the day of love? Why we send each other lovey dovey cards, chocolates and flowers? Did you ever think who came up with it? Not a man- that’s for sure! Who is it we owe this day of amore’ to? Legend has it, Valentine was a priest who served in third…
