The 95.5 The Fish Mom Squad Christmas Luncheon and Dinner was held over the weekend and it was another wonderful event!  Thanks to the 500+ ladies who came out to share food, fellowship, laughter and some tears.   I know it’s several days after the fact, but I will post a photo recap, hopefully before … Read more

 December is officially off and running!  That means our buddy Christopher Pop-In-Kins is in the house and on the lookout: Christopher is an elf who was given a special job by Santa to “spy” on the boys every day until Christmas.  Every night he sneaks into a different spot and hides.  It’s a cute idea … Read more

Happy Advent!   I have found several neat tidbits I was hoping to share, but computer time has been pretty hard to come by lately.   Things have been challenging as I struggle to calm my little guy who has been colicky.   Despite gas drops, rocking,  and swaddling,  this is our “fussy Gussy” much … Read more

Here are a few photos from our Thanksgiving celebration. Can you spot the fibber?   Lol. Our usual “porcupine” pretzel dip appetizer was turned into a turkey (per Garrett’s suggestion).  The pimentos from the olives made a pretty fine gobbler!

Baby Gus is 3 weeks old!   Time is FLYING.   Can you tell he’s getting bigger? He’s spending more time awake each day, and we are learning about his little personality.  He is a sweet teddy bear, but also has some pretty fierce fussy moments too.    He screams when his diaper is changed, … Read more

With Thanksgiving just over a week away (yikes!)   I thought it was fitting to write a quick post about food.   Although, this is not quite of the turkey and dressing variety, but still scrumptious and good for you.    I have been drooling over this recipe from the Smitten Kitchen:   (photo courtesy … Read more

Greetings!   Once again I have to thank my dear friend Jayme Orn for working her photog magic.   This picture is proof positive that she is amazing.   🙂    It is NOT easy to get a family of 7 (including a newborn and a toddler) to all sit still, look in the camera … Read more

It’s been almost 2 weeks since Baby Gus arrived.    Life as a mom of 5 has been quite an adjustment. With Karolina not quite walking yet, I knew it would be a juggling act to transport two kiddos up and down the stairs, change diapers, feed them both, etc. and it certainly has been. … Read more
