Despite the fact that I grew up on the water {Lake Huron}, I’ve never been on a sail boat. I’ve been on pretty much every other kind of boat, from little fishing boats to giant barges, but never a sail boat. So, of course, that one had to go on my Life List. But not [...]

When we found out that Talon was going to be a boy, after the shock of the ultrasound results wore off, we began dreaming of all the ‘boy’ toys that would fill our house. The house that had been overrun by ‘pink’ and princesses, glitter and fairies. In all fairness, my girls do like to [...]

With Summer winding down and many school/sporting activities already underway, you’re probably ready to our this Summer in the bag. But, if you’re still looking for something fun to do and still remain low-key, then get ready for some Backyard Fun! We spend a good portion of our Summer right in our own backyard, especially [...]

I am not a gardner. But I have a garden. And every year that garden is  total crap shoot! I had high hopes of being this expert gardener. We used our old deck boards to build a garden box in the back corner of the yard, the only spot that got sun. Had it filled [...]

If ever there was a job opportunity that fit me perfectly, it had to be the role as the VTech Infant  Mom! If you know me (and my family) at all, you’d totally agree! We love technology in our house and I take any opportunity to talk about it with people, especially when that tech [...]

It’s always an odd feeling traveling back to the town where I grew up. And yet we do it almost every Summer. It bewilders my husband. And this year, I tried to explain it to him. See, growing up in a small town, everyone knows everyone. And, when you leave that town, it’s almost as [...]

I cannot believe that my baby is heading off to Kindergarten in just four short weeks. Amazing how quickly the summer seems to go by each year. That also means that we have just four short weeks to pack in all our Summer fun! One thing we like to do each Summer is to take [...]

This photo was taken by my husband (see Tim, I did give you credit for it!).  You can join in on more Wordless Wednesday fun at 5MinutesForMom.com.

I’ve never been a huge soda drinker. Yes, I enjoy it. I enjoy a nice cold Coke with my pizza and some Dr. Pepper here and there. But, for some reason, since having the baby, I have been craving soda. Drinking it like it’s going out of style. And it’s not good. I mean, it [...]
