I enjoyed a lovely low key birthday weekend. On Friday, my beloved planned out and prepared a delicious steak and shrimp birthday dinner and made homemade tiramisu cupcakes. Yum! I received a cupcake with two candles, because, according to the pastry chef, “that’s how many years less than 40 you are”. Adam thought it...
We had a great time celebrating Thanksgiving with both sets of grands. We are so blessed to have both sides our family get along and enjoy each other. Here’s a bit of what we enjoyed while we were down in the country. Cracking nuts Trying out the new sponge rollers We recently acquired mini...
We had a great time celebrating Wendy’s 8th birthday over the weekend. She is such a delightful girl. It was fun to watch her open presents — she was thrilled with everything. Some of the highlights were hair things (sponge rollers!), Magic Treehouse books (a favorite) and her first Timex watch. We’ve done some...
Halloween was indeed a happy and sugar-filled affair. It started with Adam’s preschool celebration. Can you guess what he is? If you guessed the cutest little Ewok, this side of Endor, you would be correct! And this was probably the easiest “homemade” costume I have ever done. We reused a bear costume and I...

This is our second year hosting a carving party, so I guess it has become a tradition. The...
Alternate Title: The easiest birthday party I ever hosted My middle child was set to turn 6 in June, just a few days before the much anticipated Cars 2 movie was due out in theaters. After hosting quite a few themed parties at home in the past (including a race car party), I found...
Here it is July and I’ve completely forgotten to post about Sam’s birthday! He turned 6 during the last week of school and things were so hectic, I never got around to blogging about it. In an effort to minimize the future therapy bill, I better make mention of our middle child’s birthday. We...
We had so much fun this weekend, we could hardly stand it. We spent about 100 hours at the pool it seemed, especially enjoying the 4th of July festivities there. Mike had a great time playing in their volleyball tourney, losing only in the finals. The kids had a blast participating in the bike...
The kids are FINALLY done with school. It’s taken forever and I’ve been overwhelmed with all the end of school parties and what not. Here’s a photo wrap-up so I can officially document what went on. End of Soccer Kindergarten Picnic The K picnic was an over-the-top celebration with pizza, way too many organized...
Technically, this should be the post about the wonderful Dad in my life — either my own, or my beloved husband. Both are quite stellar and I am so thankful for them. Unfortunately, it’s late at night and my creative juices are running low, so instead, I’m sharing about the gift I gave the...
