Sometimes I think I must be crazy. Road tripping with four kids. What are we thinking?!?! Honestly though, this is when some of our best memories are made. I do like to be as prepared as possible for our road trips and I like to make sure the kids have something to keep them busy in the car. I also… View Post
Most of the summer we are outside playing, adventuring, or at the park, not at home crafting. That said I always keep a couple activities up my sleeve for those inevitable rainy days or when we just need a break from all heat and excitement. Our most recent “project” – as my kids like to call them – were these… View Post
I saw an article back before summer even began about how we only have so many summers with our kids. When I thought about my oldest turning thirteen this year I realized we’ve really only got five summers left with him. Well, after that, I decided that I needed to get more intentional about documenting our summers. I have vowed to… View Post

Where or where does the time go? I am so excited it’s summer. Really. But, I feel like we are starting a new chapter here. Little E will be entering his second (and final) year of preschool in the fall along with my middle man who is heading for Kindergarten. Our oldest… Eight Grade. No more babies in this house!… View Post
We tried a new method of dying our Easter Eggs last weekend. Have you seen this? Easter eggs dyed using shaving cream & food coloring. I saw this video come across my Facebook feed the other day and instantly I knew we had to try it. Well let me tell you, it was fun! And yielded gorgeous results. However, let me also tell… View Post
