We scored big at Target today! For Christmas this year we are doing Grant’s room in a western theme. I really love the bedding and kids decor at Target with the cowboy flavor, and we have it tucked away and ready to go (last year we did Gabe’s room, this year it’s Grant’s turn). So … Read more
Go Girl!
This sister rocks! She is the oldest Ironman athelete, she’s a 3-time champ, and she’s a nun! Her name is Sister Madonna Bruder and she is 77 years old. I like this mindset: Buder recalls once questioning whether it was appropriate for a nun to compete in races. She doesn’t worry anymore. “You don’t need … Read more
P.T. before 3?!
I think Garrett is on the way to becoming diaper-free! He is doing great in the potty training department and HE took the initiative! That’s got to be a good sign. Earlier in the summer we brought the little potty out for him and he started the process. I wasn’t consistent so we veered away … Read more
Mops and Chocolate

Back to School Savings!
I can’t believe it. August is almost here and school starts in less than 4 weeks! I’m not ready. This year Grant will be in preschool 3 days a week and we will have 2 kiddos in school! Where does the time go. Grant is over the moon with excitement because he’s ready to socialize, … Read more
Good Stuff
I have a few different things to mention, and I just realized it’s all good stuff!:) First I have to back track a little because I forgot to post a picture of my buddy Julianne. We had lunch with some Mom Squad winners at Friendly’s and we had the best time! When you mix in … Read more
Backyard Balloon Landing
Here’s something you don’t see every day! We had a hot air balloon land in our neighborhood!:) The Pro Football Hall of Fame festival is this weekend here in the Canton area. Every year they do a hot air balloon invitational and we are fortunate enough to have a great view from our yard. They … Read more
Goodbye Old Friend
I had to let go of a very good friend and I’m having a hard time. This buddy has been with me in the good times and bad, and always around to cheer me up….chocolate! Ha ha. I am so sad but it had to be done. Anyone that knows me is aware that I … Read more
What Children See
I ran across a very powerful video today. An Australian organization called ChildFriendly.org has released this piece called “Children See”. It’s a reminder of the influence, good and bad, parents have on their children. I think Jim and I do a good job (thanks be to God) but it’s sad knowing situations like this are … Read more
Wonderful Women of Faith
Here we are at Women of Faith on Friday! This is my second year attending the girls-only Christian conference. It was at the Q again and we had a hoot! Our station (The Fish) provided a luxury box for several winners, most of whom attended for the first time. As always, the speakers were amazing … Read more
