I always wanted my own minions. Really. If you have children or grandchildren, I am pretty sure you have seen or heard of Despicable Me, one of the funniest and best one-liner kids' movies of the last couple of years. My children love it, quote it, will watch it five times in a row, AND [...]
Good MONDAY morning to you all! Today I am sharing with you round TWO of my sweet and gorgeously simple nightgowns that I make for the three girls and I each summer. As I was going through their summer PJ stash I realized each girl needed a couple more pairs of PJ's, and immediately remembered [...]

How is your Tuesday today? If mine is anything like my last couple of days have been, I will go to bed exhausted but so happy for all the wonderful memories that we are making this year, my girls, my sisters, and my mother. The Handy Hubby and aka Mr. Awesome are making memories too, [...]
What an absolutely wonderful time I am having with my little sisters here for Christmas. Not only did my baby sister fly in from Colorado to spend six days with us, but my middle sister also showed up on the bus the very next day to surprise us as well, and so we have been [...]
I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy, down in my heart!!! Today is a day I have been looking forward to for weeks as I get to share a giveaway with my dear friend, Ginny of The Joyful Cottage. Just makes me happy all over, it does, and what a great week this has been, [...]
Whew, what a weekend it has been! When you are busy little bees reading this on Monday, I will be busy running kids through piano lessons, taking guitar lessons (that is, if I dont forget my guitar this week), teaching an amazingly smart group of homeschool kids about music from the 1600-1700's, and thinking longingly [...]

Today is the start of something I have wanted to do for a long time, and now getting organized has SERIOUSLY helped me pull everything together. Now I know that others have done this, and you may have heard of these before, [...]
