Rockstar Birthdays

November 14, 2014July 31, 2015

The third grade team at John’s school is having one birthday celebration day each month for all of the kids turning a year older.  (I’m not even going to share my thoughts on that right now…)  After a little back and forth, John finally decided that he wanted to treat his class to double doozies.… Read More

Turkey Talk

November 13, 2014July 31, 2015

If you’ve been around this little blog for any time now, you probably remember me talking about Turkey Talk.  It’s just too good not to share year and again though.  It’s one of our favorite family Thanksgiving traditions and is easier than pie to pull together!We pass around a bowl of questions throughout the meal. … Read More

Thanksgiving Vignette Hop {Apple Cider Bar}

November 12, 2014September 8, 2015

I was so flattered when my sweet blog friend Sherry at No Minimalist Here invited me to join her Thanksgiving Vignette party!!  I love any sort of beverage bar out on the porch, as evidenced by my hot chocolate bars and bloody mary bar, and have been itching to put together an apple cider bar.… Read More

Veterans Day

November 11, 2014July 31, 2015

The PCP carried home an assignment last week to interview the veterans in the family.  Well, much to his dismay, we have a whopping ONE.  However, I assured him our one was a good one and we set up time to face-time interview my Uncle John who retired as Colonel in the US Army after… Read More

Musings

November 11, 2014July 31, 2015

I know I’m tardy to the party on this one, but I neglected to share the Jello brain we took to our friend’s Halloween party. It was a hit!! I got the brain mold free on the Jello website a couple of years ago. This year I dropped a handful of gummy worms in the… Read More

Science Fair: Earthworms & Meteorites

November 9, 2014July 31, 2015

I don’t know how this snuck up on us again, but knocking out two science fair projects in one weekend was quite a doozy.   The baby chose to study earthworms… of all things. He filled the four corners of a box with soil, leaves, gravel and sand and wet them down with a water… Read More

Bows for Days

November 9, 2014July 31, 2015

I’ve been fast and furiously dragging all of my Christmas stuff out this weekend!!  Honey has assembled most of the trees (the benefit of a husband with an allergy to most Christmas trees is that you have no choice but to go with FAKE) and I’ve been refreshing all of the bows.   I scored… Read More

Wildcat HOCO 2026! 💙💛 Whit decided about 30 minut Wildcat HOCO 2026! 💙💛

Whit decided about 30 minutes before everyone was meeting for pictures that he was going after all! A quick scramble through three boys’ closets produced a suit, and off he went. No haircut, no tie, no problem! Haha!

These lasts are coming fast, and I’m trying to soak up every one!

I was and avid reader and dreamer as a little girl I was and avid reader and dreamer as a little girl, and opening this felt like discovering a treasure chest. Honestly, it radiated just as much happiness and joy at 50. ❤️

My friend Katie recently launched @itsyourstorygifts, creating reading gift sets centered around a surprise chapter book and absolutely stuffed with bookish goodies. She sent me one of her Signature Book Boxes to experience for myself, and as you can see… it just kept going.

Everything was prepared with so much care and thought. I immediately pictured the child who would absolutely light up opening one of these, whether it arrived for a birthday, to celebrate something special, during a hard season or simply to say, “I’m thinking of you.”

I’m sharing much more about Katie, her new business and what’s inside the box on the blog today.

And stay tuned. We have something fun coming later this week!

Mahjong, but make it cards. @playhootenanny gifte Mahjong, but make it cards.

@playhootenanny gifted me their Mahjong Playing Cards, and Honey and I took them along on our recent weekend away. They’re beautiful, easy to pack and such a fun way to play when traveling with an entire mahjong setup isn’t exactly practical.

We picked it up surprisingly quickly, and these have officially earned a spot in my travel bag.

I shared more on the blog today, including a link to the set on Amazon!
