It was pretty much a cuteness overload when all 6 cousins changed into their matching jammies on Sunday night. And it was even cuter when the 5 of them that are old enough to walk ran outside to see how their jammies glow in the dark. And it's crazy to think that this was the scene... Continue Reading →
I will freely admit that I absolutely adore good old long-standing traditions. There's nothing better for me than carrying on one of our family's (too) many traditions. Perhaps it's my inner control freak exerting it's will . . . or just the fact that I love the comfort that repetition brings, or the fact that as... Continue Reading →
Today, I am overflowing with thankfulness. What started out as a nice Thanksgiving dinner in our small condo; an excuse to get our parents together and use all the "good dishes" the Husband and I had received as wedding gifts earlier in the year has grown to a big family gathering. Gone are the days... Continue Reading →
Every week or so, my older one has a spelling test. They get a list of words that all follow the same grammatical rule along with a few sight words (usually these are words that have come up during the previous week that kids in the class have had trouble with). The older one is... Continue Reading →
It seems like my reading list lately is made up entirely of a kind of self-help books; books urging me to live a more fearless, creative, authentic life (although I do note that Kindle categorizes most of these books under "Professional & Technical" not self-help). Clearly, I'm searching for something; I just can't articulate exactly what... Continue Reading →
I first heard the Coach use the phrase "Don't let perfect be the enemy of good" a while ago. At the time, it was brought up in the context of a joke. But the phrase has come up a few times since during our training sessions. If I'm to be brutally honest, whenever I hear these... Continue Reading →
I've been thinking a lot about kindness since our little study of Cinderella last week. It's a theme that came up again Peter Pan over the weekend, and it's a theme that seems to pop up in a number of the stories we'll be looking at over the next few weeks. Earlier today, a friend commented... Continue Reading →
Everything has been going so well this week, and with the Husband out for a work dinner on Wednesday night, I decided to do something a little crazy, and let the kids stay up a little later than normal and watch a movie with me. Specifically, I let them stay up to watch the live-action... Continue Reading →
I'm no stranger to planning ahead. But the little bit of extra prep work I did yesterday (pre-packing all the activity backpacks) seemed to make a MASSIVE difference to the cadence of our morning this morning. I initially thought that perhaps I was just more relaxed knowing that I didn't have to run around the... Continue Reading →
Happy Friday!! I had an awesome morning this morning for a few reasons . . . but mostly because of my experiment gone right in the kitchen. Here's the backstory: I have 2 paleo muffin recipes that I rely on - one is the "White Muffins" recipe I posted back at the start of this... Continue Reading →
