Will always loves helping around the house where he can. He takes his big brother responsibility very seriously. While I was getting dinner ready tonight, he insisted on setting the table. I looked up from the stove, and saw him proudly setting out forks at our places at the dinner table. Be still my heart.

#126 Bath Time Photos.
I have been wanting to update our guest bathroom for some time now, and one of the elements I wanted to include were photographs of the kids playing in the tub. Tonight they were having a great time playing in the soap bubbles, so I grabbed our DSLR camera and started snapping photos. I loved … Continue reading #126 Bath Time Photos.
#125 DIY Dining Room Art.
I have always loved the minimalist look of simple words on a white background framed and hung on a wall. Etsy has all sorts of these designs you can purchase, and while I love shopping on Etsy, there are certain projects that I see online that I know I could make myself for a fraction … Continue reading #125 DIY Dining Room Art.

#122 Wake Up Call.
The most wonderful sound to wake up to on a weekday morning is the pitter patter of little feet running down the hall towards our bedroom. I first hear the sounds of the creak of a door, the quiet click as the door catches in the latch, and then soft footsteps of sock-clad feet making … Continue reading #122 Wake Up Call.
#121 New Year, New Resolutions.

This year brings a lot of planning. My husband's 40th birthday is this year, and I want to … Continue reading #121 New Year, New Resolutions.
#58 Retail Therapy.
I have not been writing as often as I would like recently, and it is because I have had a lot on my mind. I recently stopped breastfeeding my youngest, just a little over a month ago, and since then I have noticed changes in my breast. I found some dimpling in one of my … Continue reading #58 Retail Therapy.
#1 The First One.
This idea all started with a picture. I opened my TimeHop, and the pain hit me like a bolt of lightning. I am so grateful for this picture, yet so heartbroken. This photo was taken right before we discovered that mom’s cancer had spread to her brain, right before she entered hospice care. It … Continue reading #1 The First One.
