5 Healthy Things It Would Not Kill Me to Improve

If you know me, you know I am not a resolutions-type gal.  It just requires so much planning…and follow through. *sigh* But, I have been getting older every year. *gasp* And every year that happens, things just seem to start falling apart. The thing that is hard for me to accept is that despite getting [...]

Lego Youtube Channel

Santa arrived early this year due to the time sensitive nature of the packages that he carried. Well, the packages weren’t necessarily time sensitive, but the fact that we were about to embark on a 14 hour road trip made Santa’s helpers decide that Christmas was going to be celebrated in mid-December. Santa brought the [...]

Last month I underwent a personal journey… The Great Snowboarding Experiment of 2012. I have skied most of my life – at some points more than others based on what is going on. It started in 6th grade when my dad took my brother and I to a ski hill not far from where we [...]

First grade has a daily journaling assignment. Yes, first grade. I have nothing against daily writing.  In fact, I wish I wrote that often, BUT my first grader barely reads and prefers NOT to write. So, I have him draw a picture and then dictate to me 3-4 sentences about the picture and we call [...]

upstairs or outside

Upstairs or outside. It isn’t just a frequent phrase in my house.  It is a frequent request on my part.  Ok, it really is a command. Three boys together seem incapable if keeping to themselves in a quiet and orderly manner. The best non-straight jacket solution is to keep the chaos upstairs or outside leaving [...]

parenting success

There are times in the moments of motherhood that cluelessness prevails. I admit {to myself} that I don’t know what I am doing. I pick a plan of action pretending to the outside world that the plan was intentional. The truth is that I am playing the odds.  These moments of clueless decisions are plentiful [...]

Holly is alive

It is probably not the best blogging practice, but I have neglected my blog to the point where it is necessary to mention that I AM still alive. I am, I promise….see? Part of the reason why I haven’t been HERE is that I am getting out of the house in REAL LIFE. Yep, I [...]

One thing I don’t EVER want to forget are the silly things that my kids say. It is one of the reasons I blog.  It has become our family’s scrapbook.  So when Ovaltine {some of my fav people} contacted me about Quotagraph, I was super excited and made a bunch immediately!

bloggers - shauna and holly

One of the things I love about being a blogger is the community.  It is something I didn’t expect when I started blogging nearly a kajillion years ago, but it has turned out to be one of the best parts. It is like getting a great big hug from the internet. The cool thing is [...]
