A Need for Relationship with Other Moms
August 17, 2015 By
This may be surprising if you knew me five+ years ago, but over the past 3 to 4 years, since around the time we moved from one to town to another, I have went back to my introverted self. I'm not sure if introverted self explains it, but the comparison trap, am I good enough, I'm too shy, have so much to do at home, whatever the excuse is. Holding back, not taking a risk. We were busy, starting a business, kids starting preschool, then on into elementary school. Encountering … [Read more...]
Easy Cauliflower Crust Pizza {for a Large 16 inch Pizza}
August 14, 2015 By
One thing I love is pizza, I mean who doesn't??? There's something nostalgic about it, you bite into a cheesy piece of deliciousness and your tastebuds erupt with excitement and fun memories. We have pizza night on Friday nights, a lot, not always but I'd say at least 1-2 times per month. You can make pizza healthier, for one, done't get delivery, make your own. For the crust, you can use whole wheat (if it's sprouted, even better) use sourdough, use a gluten free flour or even a … [Read more...]
5 Reasons Electronic Devices are Hurting our Kids
August 7, 2015 By
Some studies suggest that kids are spending over 6 hours a day using electronic devices, which includes TV, computers, mobile devices, video game consoles and music systems. Whoa... that is CRAZY!! Extensive research has been conducted to establish the effects of these devices on kids. The findings of these studies show that there are both positive and negative effects. However, there are more negative effects since regular and overexposure to these devices can negatively affect the minds of … [Read more...]
Simple Ideas for Celebrating a Birthday without the Junk
August 5, 2015 By
Birthdays come once a year, per family member, but for me, I often feel all rushed and hurried like it snuck up on me. Some might call this procrastination (ahem!) ;) and others might call this the "creative last-minute" adrenaline rush. When celebrating birthdays in our family, I typically do something special on the day and have a birthday party later on. I did this for our daughter Julia's recent Frozen Birthday Party since her birthday in a few days after Christmas, we … [Read more...]
Over the Rainbow {First Birthday Theme}
May 29, 2015 By
I cannot believe we actually have a ONE year old! Granted she's the 3rd baby, but only a few short years ago, I didn't know if we would have any more babies, then I got pregnant and after 40+ weeks she was welcomed into the world at home on March 5, 2014. London is a vibrant little lady. She's full of life! She adores her big brother and sister, she's into everything. Her laugh is contagious and only smiles when she feels like it (Hum, wonder what kind of teenager she'll be) … [Read more...]

1st Birthday Canvas
April 17, 2015 By
I absolutely love getting crafty. Between part-time homeschooling, activities, and the regular day to day tasks I feel as though getting crafty has been put on the back burner. I have been more focused on getting the chores done, working around naptime, and so much more that I have forgotten to have a little fun. So my mission as we enter Spring and on into Summer, is to have more fun! And getting crafty is so much fun to me and my kids love it as well. So I … [Read more...]
