My goofy husband is celebrating his 1000th blog post! I am so proud of him! He is truly an inspiration to me {and a lot of other people I am sure}. Most of you only know him as the personal finance guy. But, can I just brag on him for a second? He is seriously one of the hardest working men I

We have arrived safely at our vacation destination. It was a LONG trip in the mini. It took us 15 hours {as I imagined it would with 3 kids}. Everything went well minus our emergency poopy stop and the last hour of screaming by SJ. Thankfully we have our babysitter with us. Did I mention that she

As we prepare for our vacation, a car mini-van ride that will take us nearly 12 hours {more like 15 with kids}, please pray that we can keep all of these cute faces happy. Our youngest has NEVER traveled anywhere. At all. He sometimes goes to the grocery store {10 minutes away} and church {12

Do not ask why I thought it would be cute to look as if I am holding an imaginary platter in both hands. Moving on. As you have seen, lately I have been doing a lot more posts on home decor and diy. I am, by no means, a professional decorator. I like to tell people...I'm "adventurous" when it

This year for P's FIFTH birthday we did a shark party! I am pretty sure that we have had some type of "swim" themed party for him EVERY year. I am starting to run out of "pool party" themes. Ha! It's just so easy to do the pool thing when your child's birthday is mid July AND you have a pool.

Remember in college when your friends would constantly want to go out and party? I was THAT girl who would have rather curled up on the couch with a movie and a giant sized candy bar. No lie. I am what they would call "boring" or "goody-goody" or "rule follower". Yep, that is me. I struggled in

Having my mother-in-law here from Las Vegas has been absolutely AMAZING! Those of you who know me {closely} may think that I am "just saying that" to sound nice. I assure you, whatever feelings I "use" to have towards the MIL visiting...are gone. Vanished. Va-moose! I mean it. I am wondering how
