Washington D.C.
We recently took a family trip to Washington D.C. to attend our niece’s wedding. John and I hadn’t visited there since we were kids so we made a vacation of it.
The move!
To say this summer has been crazy is an understatement. We decided in late May to put our house on the market. It took about a month to get it ready. The dining room needed new floors and half the house needed to be packed up to stage it. We had way too much furniture […]
What’s in your make-up drawer?
I love make-up. I always have. I love to wear it. I love to buy it. Ulta sucks me in like nobody’s business! Not sure why but my mom never wore make-up much when I was little, still doesn’t. While I love make-up, I never really got a lesson in applying it. I keep thinking […]

30 Days of Thanks
I love this time of year. Things don’t really slow down but it seems we spend more time together as a family. I have so much to be thankful for and it seems I take it for granted. I’m going to use November to remind myself and all of you what I have to be […]
Holiday family traditions
This week SSS Bloggers will be sharing some of our family holiday traditions. Halloween is not that big in our house. Not sure why. It was never one I was that excited about. Maybe as a kid, I’ll have to ask my mom. Ally doesn’t even want to trick or treat this year. She’s going […]
Fall for Fall: Decor, take 2
I am bad about decorating for any season except Christmas. Not because I don’t want to, I just don’t. No place to store the extra items, don’t make the time, not that creative. I have a few things I found on Pinterest that I actually made and a wreath I’m planning to make this weekend! […]
Fall for Fall: Decorating
Today’s post is from Sara at She Cooks, She Crafts, She Runs. We are doing Fall Decor this week. We had to switch a week around. I love what Sara did with her mantle. ********** I know last week was supposed to be Fall Decor and this week is supposed to be pumpkin patches but…well […]
Ally turned 12 and I’m a year older
Ally and I share milestone birthdays, both in October. Luckily this year isn’t one for me. I was 25 when she was born. So, the year I turned 30 she turned 5. 35, 10…catch the pattern. I’m not looking forward to 15 and 40. She’s such a blessing to us even though she has been […]
