About three and a half months ago my husband and I welcomed our first child, our son Samuel. He is such a happy little guy, we are so blessed to have him in our lives! As a new and first time mom I could go on and on for days about every little thing that’s [...]

Today after work, the kids and I spent three hours in the kitchen cooking. We made two different recipes that we’ll post soon for you all. I thought I’d share some of the pictures of the fun we had today. I got some pictures too of the kids actually sitting at the [...]

Today Brooklyn finished her very first book report. I’m still trying to remember if I even knew how to spell in that grade, and this girl has read a book on Elizabeth Blackwell and written a page and a half report. In second grade. Did I mention that!! I listened to her read the book, [...]
