Where Passion & Purpose Collide
This is, by far, the bloggiest thing I’ve posted in a long time. A l-o-n-g time. I’m not sure whether to apologize, or to nod in silent acceptance of your gratitude. I am, of course, way behind on making these little tags – and hence, sharing this project – but there’s always Pinterest. Simply pin this and plan with every… Read More
I interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you… simple snapshots of the best darn summer entertainment a dollar bill can buy: Hip hip hooray for $1 bubble wands and a windy afternoon.
Our kids love water. They have always loved water. Especially when it resides in LARGE quantities in places OTHER than bathtubs and swimming pools. and when it involves shedding all clothes and decency and making as much mess as possible without having to clean an ounce of it back up. If it get gross and slimy and contains frogs…all the… Read More
I’ve been a busy girl, you guys! …designing…metal stamping…mod podging labels…threading beads and adhering baubles…sniffing scents…singing thrifted satin…packaging cards…and filling happy yellow mugs with chocolates and tea bags. If you follow me on Facebook or instagram, you know I’ve been creating loads of goodies to sell at a merchandise table when I speak. Swag, shall we say. And after an… Read More
Here’s a sneak peek from last week’s Daddy Daughter Dance. Be still my heart. {Happy Valentine’s Day}
Remember the cute Merry & Bright goodies from last Christmas? Well, we have another fun classmate gift idea and printable for you! I had seen these as valentine gifts on Pinterest a while ago, made with a little heart crayon, and then ran into adorable silicon snowflake molds at Meijer a few weeks ago. Considering there are always an overabundance… Read More
We went to our first Fall picnic with the other families from my hubby’s post last week. But due to inevitable marital communication discrepancies, I found out just days before that this was in fact a Halloween party. With children donning costumes. You’ve never seen a woman hit the shelves of craft stores with such tenacity and pterodactyl-like precision…leaves, check…black… Read More
Looking through photos from little Bean’s recital in June, I realized how much like a weed she has grown. She’s looking less and less like a wee lass and more and more like a little lady every day. She’s blossoming and maturing, her cheeks and belly are losing their plumpness, and her little hands are losing their dimples. Which makes… Read More
How on earth is it September already? I feel as though I was just comprehending our little Bean’s entry into Kindergarten…and here she’s about to start 1st Grade tomorrow. ‘Tis true what they say…the days move slowly, but the years fly by. I designed some little lunchbox love notes two years ago, which got featured on numerous other mommy blogs… Read More
Sweet boy, I was examining the fine, downy swirls of peach fuzz on your neck, cheeks and arms the other day when it occurred to me. One day this stuff is going to be courser. And darker. And most likely, spread across your face in some sort of suave goatee fashion. Then, to traumatize me further, your wee-lass larynx will… Read More

We’re experiencing a little bit of an upside down empty nest over here. My parents have just moved out of the man cave they’ve called home {aka. “the love shack”} for almost two years. We miss them horribly already and it’s only been two weeks. It’s quite pathetic, really. But because my husband is awesome, and because God knows I… Read More
