As we enter into the week of Thanksgiving I – like many others – like to really reflect on what I have. Yes, there are a lot of physical objects on my “Thankful For” list – coffee & my ipod just to name a couple (they make my days better but I like to think… Read more »
Halloween Snacks
A Halloween post in November?! Yep, that’s right. I am a planner but you know, some things just happen very last minute around our house.

Up, Up and Away
A handful of years ago I went to my cousins wedding and witnessed a balloon release for the first time. It was so neat and unique. It was only until recently that I learned that balloon releases are for more than just weddings and that there is quite a bit to learn about the balloon… Read more »

Since we all have our birthdays within a month of each other it is a bit fun for me to decorate our house with birthday items that aren’t too obnoxious to leave out for that whole month.
