We’ve been making these Nativity ornaments this week to raise money for clean drinking water for Christmas. (You can read the full story in my previous post.) We have made a LOT of these ornaments in the past week and so far everyone has loved them so we thought we’d share how we made them! We being me and my 5 year old daughter, […]
It’s a beautiful fall day. You know the kind where you can feel the warm sun shining on your back and brightly colored leaves adorn the trees and the ground. The kind that makes the kiddos antsy, and if we’re honest, even moms anxious to get out of the house and enjoy the day. But… there is still school work […]
Saturday night, we sat at the end of our driveway. It had been a wonderful day with friends and family. We planned to end the night with a bang and light up some sparklers and a little waterfall type firework. Afterward, we sat down in the driveway and listened to the fireworks going off all around us. Every now and […]

Seriously- Where did the summer go? Since this was my first summer at home I had all of these things I wanted to do and places to go- parks to play in, friends to visit and pools to swim in. Now it’s over and I didn’t get to any of it! Geesh! Oh well, next summer. For now it’s back to school […]
This weekend I was hunting through my craft boxes for a Sunday School craft when I pulled out the box with the feathers. You know the ones- they come in a large bag and are 8-10 different, bright colors. Well.. lets just say I may have forgotten to put the feathers back in the box because my office looks like some sort of […]
