A visit to the doctor …
After the start of the new year, my husband was pestering me to go see our (new) doctor for a check-up. It'd been awhile since I last had one, and he felt like I really needed to go. Let me give you some background: 1. About 3 years ago, Larry's insurance had just kicked in and we picked a doctor that came highly recommended. I'd made a ... Read More about A visit to the doctor …
Mother’s Day is Coming ..
Sunday, May 13, 2012 ... are you ready?! I'd like some beautiful jewelry and I'd really love some quality time with my husband and boys. Here is my wish list: Beautiful new earrings from Shadora. (Hint, hint, honey! ;)) Maybe a card, but I'd like the homemade version since they mean more to me. Lunch (or dinner). Do ... Read More about Mother’s Day is Coming ..
Dale & Thomas Popcorn – Mother’s Day Gift Box {Review and #Giveaway} CLOSED
I love popcorn! You will often find me eating it for lunch or snacking on it after dinner. I LOVE IT! You will only find plain varieties in my pantry, but if I could I'd have caramel all the time!

Cat Shelves DIY
My husband and I have been talking about cat shelves for some time now. We've looked and looked and they all seemed so overpriced for what you are actually getting. On a recent trip to Lowe's, hubs decided to pick up 6 white shelf brackets and the wall screws he needed to hang them. We already had a 6 foot board that he'd cut. ... Read More about Cat Shelves DIY
Allergies
When Colin went in for his 2-year well baby check, his pediatrician told me that when he turned 3, she'd want to have his allergies tested. (He has such severe eczema and she wanted to try to understand what was causing it.) At his 3-year well baby check, she didn't say anything and it'd completely slipped my mind. So when we took James for his ... Read More about Allergies
Spaghetti Casserole #Recipe
Two of the ladies in my Sunday School class had their babies over the weekend. I signed up to bring a meal to both (and their families) ... but I had no idea what to make. My mom has AMAZING spaghetti and meatballs, but I can't ever duplicate her recipe. And while that would be perfect for what I needed, I decided I would try to create ...

GummyLump {Review & Giveaway} CLOSED
My kids have very vivid imaginations and I do all that I can to encourage that! I have read all kinds of things that say it's important for kids to engage in pretend play. Colin has plenty of ideas but when he starts to express himself, James says something along the lines of "NO Colin" ... in an attempt to "correct" him and stop the ...

Tillamook Blogger Party
My mom has called me a rat for as long as I can remember. Not because I am sneaky and spend all my time running around in dark allies, but because I LOVE cheese! I snack on cheese any time I get a snacking opportunity! After my husband and I married, we took a trip to Oregon and drove down the coast. One stop my father-in-law said we HAD to ...
