I wanted to share something with you that we have implemented in our family to make sure that our kiddos get more one on one time. When we had our first child, we felt like we got a LOT of time with our son, and didn’t ever feel like we didn’t get one on one time with him. Then we had little sister, and we felt a little bit like we weren’t getting much one on one time with our oldest. {babies are needy, yah know!?} So we started doing dates with our son on his birthday day of every month. SO toward the middle of the...

We just moved into a new house. We got an awesome deal on it. It’s a rental, and it’s rented out as a two bedroom, because there are two bedrooms upstairs, but, there is a HUGE basement. The problem is that the basement was in pretty bad shape when we moved in. One of the rooms has mold in the ceiling, and all the rooms are super dirty. The family room...
For those of you who don’t know, I’m hosting a summer running challenge. The goal is to run 100 miles during the summer.

Leave me a comment if you’re doing it and I’m going to link up all the bloggers at some point during the challenge. How are you all feeling...

I came down with a nasty cough this weekend. And I was excited. Why? Because last time I was visiting my parents, I found an old ward cookbook. The cookbook was gold. It had amazing recipes in it. And, in the back, there was a section of miscellaneous “recipes” that weren’t actually food recipes. They were things like homemade cleaner,...
I love taking pictures! Second to it is editing. So much fun! I have a friend who taught me how to do this, and I actually do this with almost every picture I edit, I thought I’d share this Photoshop tutorial with you! Pretty sure for the first few months of picture editing I was cropping pictures with the basic crop tool, and the dimensions were WAY off. Which,...
Moving is a super stressful! Add two babies into the mix and the stress level only rises. I am currently getting ready to move. We decided about two weeks ago that we needed to move, and we are supposed to be out of our house TOMORROW! Our next place isn’t ready for another week, so we will be living with in-laws for a little while. I figure that the more planned...
