    Easter Hoppenings

    I hope you caught my pun in the title of this post. I love a good, corny pun. Here’s an update of our Easter weekend in pics. I love a good sugar cookie recipe. But sometimes you just need to start with a mix. True that. And you can’t have good sugar cookie fun without…

    Foolin’ Around :: 14/52

    The other day, my little girl was eating lunch. Part of her lunch consisted of raw spinach leaves. Yep – I’m one of those moms. She was doing pretty well with them until she noticed a brightly wrapped object on the counter (AKA: a Godiva gem). “What’s that?” “Ohhhh…just something.” “Chocolate?” {how does she know things…

    Details :: 13/52

    Details. Life is full of them. And yet they’re easy to miss. Especially when you have kids. My little girl has a new favorite game. It’s called “hide & seek.” She loves to play it with her Daddy, Mommy & BearBear. I’ve also heard her trying to play it with her 5 month old brother.…

  • Hunger :: 12/52

    So, my son has been eating a LOT lately. And he’s still been hungry. We started cereal last week. And now this is a common sight in our home: And this:   And my favorite: He’s like, “Come on, Mom. Less camera; more food.” And then big sister decided to try it… She was so…

    Number 16

    AND THE WINNER IS: which happens to be: Congrats, Britt! Email me your address by Monday, March 26 so I can have Organized Simplicity sent your way! For those of you who didn’t win…I’m sorry. I truly am. Because I never seem to win things like this either. And so I know how it feels.…

  • The “Eyes” of March :: 11/52 + Book Giveaway! (CLOSED)

    The “Eyes” of March :: 11/52 + Book Giveaway! (CLOSED)

    The “eyes” of March. That’s the topic for this week’s photo challenge over at My 3 Boybarians. I didn’t want to take a picture of eyes. Because that’s obvious. And I like to be creative, and sorta…un-obvious. Only sometimes this backfires and I’m so “creative” that I don’t make sense. Things have been so warm…

    Be Still :: 10/52

    Happy Monday to you! I’ve been a bit behind with my P52 (Project 52) challenge photos lately. (If you’re new around here, P52 is a yearlong challenge over at My 3 Boybarians. I’ve committed to taking 1 photo a week during 2012. Each week, we have a new theme.) Last week’s theme was “Be Still.”…

    A Great Leap :: 9/52

    Having fun with a photo challenge over at My 3 Boybarians. If you like to take pictures, you should come join. It really is a lot of fun! Last week’s theme was A Great Leap – in honor of leap day. I’m late to the par-tay because my computer breathed its last and I had to wait…

    Cabin Fever :: 8/52

    Cabin Fever…WHA???? We definitely do not have cabin fever here in North Carolina! We have been outside more this week than we have in a long time. On Thursday, the temperature got up to 75 degrees and we were soaking it up! But the theme for this week’s photo challenge over at My 3 Boybarians is Cabin Fever. And…

  • True Love :: 7/52

    Yikes. I’m super duper late with my photo challenge pics. I took these pics last week. I promise. But last week was pretty busy and I just didn’t have time to edit and post them. Forgive me. Thanks. {assuming you did} Anyway, the theme for last week’s photo challenge over at My 3 Boybarians was…

  • Lessons From My Daughter

    Lessons From My Daughter

      Much of my free time this past week was consumed with studying for a Sunday school lesson for my teen girls. One day, my little girl decided she wasn’t tired during naptime. I told her she could bring her books out and sit next to me while I studied. She did pretty well, but…

  • Drink Up :: 6/52

    Drink Up :: 6/52

    The theme for this week’s photo challenge over at My 3 Boybarians is Drink Up. And my interpretation: This week, my family has been on vacation with my side of the family. We rented a big log house in Virginia and have been hanging out – going fishing, getting manicures, taking lots of family pictures, going…
