I wasn't sure I would make it to posting tonight. My oldest child has lost 2 teeth this week. He has my sleeping tendencies [taking forever to fall asleep], so I have had to wait up for the tooth fairy to come. Plus, our good elf pal, Bob, tends to cause mischief at night too.... Continue Reading →

Crafts, crafts, crafts! Our advent activities usually contain plenty of projects. Today we had a 2 for 1 special because the kids were at their grandparent's house all weekend. We had to make up for yesterday's and then do today's activity. Our first activity was gingerbread houses. I have learned from previous years that it... Continue Reading →
What an eventful weekend we had! Yesterday we spent all day running errands and building the kid's big gifts while they were gone. Today we celebrated my birthday (which is actually tomorrow). Bug woke us up way too early this morning, so I thought "I am going to order some breakfast for delivery". I ordered... Continue Reading →
