This past year I have been most touched by the No Kids Hungry campaign. One afternoon, while wrapping Christmas gifts and stressing wondering if I should stretch my budget to include Christmas cards, I caught an episode of Ellen. You know it was one of those moments where you are caught in your own worry [...]
Yesterday was Halloween and I have to say this Momma was on! Did you ever have one of those days that instead of wallowing in the mom guilt for the things that you didn’t do you actually bask in the appreciation for what you did do? Like think wow, I was like Superwoman today! After [...]
Something has happened recently, ah yes another milestone. Oh how they are passing so fast! All of the sudden when it comes to reading, my girls are more interested in the words than the pictures. When they sit down to flip through a book on their own, or snuggle up together they still chose a [...]
As my tagline says….this is what has been taking me all day…..well here is what the garden girls have been up to since May (hint: it has not been gardening!)

Sophia’s favorite Spring flower is the Daffodil. She says, “They have funny noses. Also, I like to stick my nose in their nose to smell them, that is funny!” Gracia much like her momma, loves the Pansy. Gracia says, “They have cute faces. Some are boys if you look real close you see little mustaches!” [...]
The garden girls turned 6 this past Friday! They came home from school Friday afternoon to find that their Mingy had bought them bikes! So this past Saturday we spent a beautiful Spring day at the park trying them out! We came upon a butterfly garden wearing her spring flowers! Spring has truly taken hold [...]
