TweetHi friends! Wow! Two posts in one week! I haven’t been that ambitious in a while! What I’m writing about today has been something that has been on my mind for a few months now. Don’t worry this is not a political post but lately social media has been full such of despair and hate. … [Read more…]
TweetNew Year’s resolutions. I wasn’t going to write about it and then I was and then I wasn’t and I guess now I am. I just hate how it sounds – it’s so cliché isn’t it? And the expectations that go with it can you set up to fail. But I’ve been thinking a lot … [Read more…]
TweetIt’s the last week of my decking the halls series. Actually it’s a day or two early that I’m writing this but it’s like -40 windchill outside and all the kids are actually staying busy so I thought it was a good time to squeeze a post in. I’ve had fun sharing my projects with … [Read more…]

I hope you have all been checking off your Elf lists: making snow angles for two hours, going ice skating, eating a whole roll of toll house cookie dough as fast as you can and then snuggling.

Another thing I do in excess … [Read more…]
TweetSo I’ve been doing this blog thing for a year now!! I can’t believe it! I was looking back at some of my first posts and one was about raking leaves and my distain for it. Well I have to say that hasn’t changed. What’s funny is, usually when it comes to seasonal functions and traditions – … [Read more…]
TweetYesterday we had our annual Halloween Extravaganza with my family. It also happened to be the 2 year anniversary for my own little family living on the farm. I can’t think of a better way to have spent it – lots of fun, laughter and tradition. We started the party by bobbing for apples. Have … [Read more…]
Tweet One morning a couple days ago I was playing with my two year old son and I was laughing at some silly thing he was doing and I said the words “you make me happy”. He repeated it with his little speech impediment that makes a two year old’s speech so adorable “I make … [Read more…]
TweetYou know what I like about decorating for Halloween? If you guessed the big bowl of candy you probably aren’t wrong. The other great thing though is that a mix of dollar store and homemade decorations – and a dirty house (got cobwebs and dust…great!) – are perfect. You don’t have to spend much to … [Read more…]
