It’s time for one more little gift round up, and today it is the parent edition… Some of these are gifts on my wishlist, some are gifts we received that we either desperately wanted or didn’t even realize we would love and have become family favorites, but if you have a parent of young kids in your life, here are some suggestions for holiday gifts they’d probably appreciate… Continue reading

Family Movie Night: More than a fun tradition
As you probably noticed if you keep up with my goal posts each month, one of my summer tending list items is the tradition of Family Movie Nights once a week during the summer…. Continue reading
Final Year End Wrap up: Daughter, Family, and Delights
These final two focuses are hard to wrap up because obviously they are all subjects that are ongoing. I do, however, have a few thoughts on each of these subjects, especially since my daughter, my family, and finding delight took up most of my focus this past year. Continue reading
Community: Kinderperfect and Parents Night In!
I mentioned in my last post that I had a fun Sunday evening with some of the ladies from my moms group. We got together for a Moms Night in Game Night that led to lots of laughs, getting to know each other better, and an all around fabulous night! Continue reading
Not That Kind of Mom

Change is GOOD
I wrote last post about how change can be really hard and how long distance with my husband has made this a trying month. But today, as we close out April and as I close out my 20s, I wanted to write about some awesome changes that have happened during the last decade: Continue reading
Change is HARD
You may have noticed that I’ve written less this month than usual. Something which is maybe odd considering I just got a bunch of time back now that Macbeth is over. Well, let’s just say I’m holding out hope that April Showers bring May flowers… Continue reading
C is for Change
Wow. How is it April already?! March flew by, probably because it was consumed with Macbeth- both rehearsals and performances! But now the show is over and it is time to shift gears and make some changes Continue reading
C is for Cleaning
We are almost a week into March already!!! That means hello spring (even though it feels a lot more like summer here) and hello Spring Cleaning Continue reading
