So, I am new to WordPress. I am slowly getting the hang of it, so you’ll see my blog evolve as I catch on. For now, though, I just needed to get the ball rolling and carry on. A few months ago I found myself at a place in my personal life that made meContinue reading “New to WordPress”

I’m a happy wife and mother of 7 wonderful children who are the purpose of my life. We have lived in various parts of the United States and spent a 15 month job period in Mexico where I learned to speak Spanish. Traveling and moving has exposed me to a great many things in myContinue reading “This is Me”

We moved to Tremonton Utah in July. The 26th is when we left/ We arrived to our new townhouse at 1 a.m. on the 27th. It was really hard to leave so many people we love. It wasn’t as hard to leave the house with how much work it has been over the last 14+Continue reading “It's Fall Y'all!”

We’ve been wanting to repaint the outside of our house pretty much ever since we moved in. There was such a long list of “to-do”‘s that it was low on the totem pole, right there with replacing the carpet.

Happy Spring!  Did you think I fell off the face of the earth? I did fall out of blogland for a bit. It just couldn’t be the priority with all that has been going on this past year. I know that some people blog through life’s “rain or shine moments”, so to speak. I usedContinue reading “The Perfect cupboard”

Last spring I realized a real need to simplify my life. The last year had been so insanely crazy with 2 and 3 jobs, on top of going back to school with 2 classes per semester, and renovations going on, trying to keep up with the two blog groups I was in charge of, allContinue reading “It's Been Busy Here!”

I thought the best way to wedge my way back into blogging after a 6 month absence would be to bring you a sweet treat recipe. Every May I host an annual book group at my home where we get together and pitch the books we’d like to see make it’s way on the listContinue reading “Cranberry Coconut Chews- The perfect summer cookie”

Hey there lovelies, I’m so happy to see you!!  This week has been more pleasant since I only work outside the home 3 days instead of the 4 I worked last week. This gives me a little extra time to join my wonderful group of women for an inspiring project challenge,  and this month theContinue reading “Project Challenge- {Buckets or Containers}”

 A couple years ago I swore off sewing Halloween costumes for my kids. I always seem to be sewing up to the last dreadful minute and completely stressed out, no matter how hard I plan these things. I’m apparently not my mother. But when we were discussing what the children were going to be thisContinue reading “Sewing Halloween Costumes”
