While we haven’t experienced anything like our usual winter here in Michigan {and I am not complaining…the sunshine makes this gal one happy mama!}, if it’s not flip-flop weather…it’s soup season! Regardless of what the temperature gauge says. Soup is cheap, easy and oh so tasty! So I have three of our favorites thick, creamy […]
Bugging Out!
We’re celebrating a little lad who’s been {heart} medicine free for over a year! {smile!} And the fact that he’s so stinkin’ cute it makes my cheeks hurt.

Here’s to 2011
We cannot believe we have come to the end of yet another year…and what a fun, full year it has been! We’ve enjoyed our first full year in our new home, along with all the fun ‘firsts’ that come with it… like taking in the beauty of the ice-covered lake from our kitchen window {a […]
Crumbling the Silence {with Cookies}
We’re having a grand ol’ time here in the McMilli-vanilli home. I have no idea where that came from. You’ll have to pardon me, I’m heavily sleep deprived {sick kids, design deadlines, cookies to decorate, you know…the usual} and mildly medicated {it’s that time…and my uterus hates me}. And apparently my TMI filter is broken. […]

Purging my cupboards and the forgotten corners of my house and shipping boxes off to Goodwill. Occasionally trying new recipes – just because […]
Letting Go of Super-Mom
It occurred to me last summer, while slathering my child from head to toe with diaper rash cream, summoning every ounce of determination I could muster to rub the white paste into her sweetly resistant skin, that motherhood didn’t look much like I envisioned it would.

Ramblings & Us {Through the Ledford Lens}
I’ve had a deliciously full week; opportunities to connect with girlfriends I don’t get to see even remotely often enough, dinner with a wonderful friend I haven’t seen in over 7 years, an out-of-town conference with my hubby {which boasted paradigm-shift-inducing teaching by Carl Medearis…he rocked our world}, and was sprinkled with precious family time […]
