The other day I was in the car listening to Christmas music mostly because I was in a horrible mood. I was late to where ever I was going (sometimes the story of my life) and so I was yelling at the kids to "hurry up and GET IN THE CAR!!!" ... View the Post
The Art of Homemaking: The things you take for granted…
I shared this quote on our Facebook page over the weekend...it's been on my mind for awhile. I love this time of year. It always reminds me of how much I have...which when I think about it I suppose it really should do the opposite for me...with the holidays coming our budget is always very tight and what we have to spend is well, very limited. Which means most of the gifts we give each year are handmade instead of the latest and greatest. But this year more than any other I feel full of ... View the Post

The Art of Homemaking: The Last Time
I don't usually post photographs of myself. But this is one I don't want to forget. You see, I think it documents the last time my Simon will not be too old to hold his mother's hand. Last month we went with my parents to Disneyland. (Thank you again Mom and Dad.)

The Art of Homemaking: Ever Think About….
On Saturday I needed to run to the store. So I say to my husband, "Dude, I need to run to the store I will be back in a few minutes." and then I walk down the hall to grab my purse and shoes. When I return to the front door there are all my kids standing there with their shoes on and my husband is trying to coax them all into the backyard. And then I ask..."What are you all doing?" And the kids say, "We are coming with you." And then I say, "You've got to be kidding me! It's Saturday go play ... View the Post
