For the past few days, I’ve been seeing an article passed around Facebook called “The Minimalist Game”. I kept scrolling past it, because minimizing, to me, just seems too daunting when you have accumulated as much junk as I have with three boys, a geek husband, and…. well, a teen girl. One of my friends…
I’m going to just flat out come out and tell the truth. Little League Baseball season did me in. Our schedules were crazy, we had lots of late nights, lots of chasing the Minion, and lots of quick, on-the-go foods. We were doing so well until our lack of time management and meal preparation got…
My kids love it when packages come for them. It’s usually something for me, or something for the family, but this particular package was full of shirts chosen specifically for each of my kiddos!

Use natural sun screen- One of my favorite brands is Lavanila, and their gluten free, natural sun screen is perfect for…
I’m sad to say that I won’t be “officially” participating in the 4th Annual Flats and Handwashing Challenge! Jett won’t be here for most of the week next week, so it just isn’t feasible for me this year. I will, however, be using flats during the times that he is here so that I can…
It seems like more and more people are turning to their iPhone camera to record memories and special events. With the new iOS7 update, I can’t exactly blame them. The new camera has a lot of great features like in camera editing and new grid options that the iOS6 didn’t support. Even better, taking great…
Everyone talks about volunteering as an important part on a senior’s college application, but what about other aspects of volunteering?
