Forgive me now.. But I'm probably going to be posting daily videos {depending on my Internet access} to document our 14 day RV trip. My husband keeps saying, "I can't believe you agreed to this babe." Ummmm, I did not actually. Just for the record. He rented the RV and suddenly my

When I say that I had no idea what joy the blogging world could bring to my life...I truly mean that. When I first started blogging in 2008 I did not picture myself becoming friends with ANYONE I met online. In fact, I thought it was slightly absurd and a little bit bonkers. But after

You know how many times I have got to do a professional photo shoot that didn't involve me bribing young children with chocolate and Toys R Us trips? Never. Ok, ONCE. For my senior pictures in high school. But not since. Jeff will occasionally help me snap a few pics for a fashion post, but

Welcome to the Inspire Me Please Weekend Blog Hop. Anyone who has boys knows that during the winter months when you are trapped indoors...your kids go coo-coo. Like bonkers. Bouncing off walls or, in my case, putting major holes in my walls from wrestling. The fact that we can be

It was 4:30 AM and my phone began to ring. I reached over to my night stand and fumbled around to grab it. I had planned to just hit the snooze button since I thought the ringing was just my alarm going off. But right before I went to hit the silent button I noticed my neighbors name flashing on my

If I'm being honest, I've never been into dressing the boys in dress shirts, ties and khaki pants. Mainly because they complain complain complain about any attire that involves buttons or zippers. I'm guessing this is just boy territory. My boys like to be boys and wear gym shirts and

We woke up this morning bright and early for a birthday dance party. We set the speakers to "They say it's your birthday...." and SJ thought it was the greatest thing since discovering pretzel sticks (which says a lot because he's quite obsessed with pretzel sticks). It's now officially been 7

There is one space in my entire house that I let get super-duper messy...can you guess which room? My thought process is that the kids need at least one spot where they can be kids. Where they can let loose. Play. And be crazy. Errrr, be crazy without getting in trouble. Because let's be

Note: This blog has been hijacked by the husband...again. It's Mother's Day and the mom that runs this blog deserves a special shout out. She cooks, cleans, and runs our household. Literally. She also plays a mean guitar. I thought I would return the favor and serenade her with a

The boys and I put together this little gem to show Gigi how much we appreciate and love her, not just on Mother's day, but all year round'! I hope you think this is as sweet as I do. Excluding the part about farting. And there's quite a ton of fart talk. #sorry And even though we won't get
