One thing I never learned about during pregnancy or even during the toddler years (until now) was febrile seizures. I had literally never heard of them and I read books, articles, pamphlets given by the doctors, and any other baby/toddler related reading material I could get my hands on. I read EVERYTHING. I thought I was so prepared and mostly…
Heeellloo everyone! It’s Wine Wednesday, my favorite day of the week!! Today I am going to talk about Fetzer Gewürztraminer, which you can pick up for about $8 a bottle at your local grocery store. The regular price where I shop is $10 but it goes on sale often so I never pay full price. I like yummy, inexpensive wine…
My nephew graduated from high school last month and his mom asked me to make the card box for his graduation party. It sounds so hard and like quite a process, but it really wasn’t!! It was actually really easy. I bought all the material at JoAnn’s. Materials: (3) Paper Mache Boxes of different sizes that can be stacked together.…
Nevaeh wanted to have a sleepover for her 14th birthday and we decided to do homemade pizzas, a bonfire, and a movie night. The first step was to figure out what to have for dinner and what snacks to have. We decided on homemade pizzas so the girls could choose their own toppings and have as much (or as little)…
If you are anything like me, you prefer your kids to create artwork from things you already have at home. This means coming up with creative, easy activities that use up materials you have no other purpose for. This time, I had leftover streamers that I would never use. I always save the un-opened streamers just in case I need…
They say the first year of marriage is the hardest and if that is true, my husband and I will do alright throughout the rest of our marriage. We had some hard times but never anything that we couldn’t work out. My husband Chris and I are coming up on our one-year wedding anniversary and I want to share some…
Do you remember being 14 years old? What was your life like at that time? I was 14 in 2005. When I think back, I think of hanging out with my friends, going to concerts, having boyfriends!!!, watching Laguna Beach, and essentially becoming my own person outside of my family unit. I feel like once I reached high school, I…
Guys, I have become so emotional since I gave birth to my oldest. Before kids, I would pride myself on my ability to leave emotion out of EVERYTHING. Nothing bothered me, I rarely cried, and I would laugh during moments when I should have been sad or at least a little bummed. I don’t know why I thought this was…
Happy Monday!! I hope everyone had a good weekend. We tried to just relax as much as possible because last week was such a long, busy week for us. Relaxing when you have five kids is a little different than relaxing with no kids, however, so we still stayed a little busy. Friday we had doctors appointments for the kids,…
