I know I sound like a broken record when I talk about Pinterest, but I just love that site. I find so much inspiration and great ideas for projects. Just a couple weeks ago, I came across a pin for a blogger who did 38 random acts of kindness in honor of her 38th birthday. [...]

If you follow me on facebook, you might have already seen this. I put it up to show everybody my latest project. But, I quickly took it down because my sister got worried that my mum might see it before I had a chance to give it to her. I’m happy to say that I [...]

In the spirit of my sister’s tradition, I took my 4yo son to the dollar store to pick out presents for his teachers and family members. It’s always so much fun to see what my niece is going to give everybody and I couldn’t wait to start this tradition with my son. It’s such a [...]

This has been a good week for me to meet and catch up with a few really great local bloggers. On Wednesday, I met up with Heather who blogs at Basilmomma. With two kids and a full time job, she knows what it’s like to be busy. Yet she finds time to cook amazing meals [...]

Never worry about the size of your Christmas tree.  In the eyes of children, they’re all 30 feet tall. ~Larry Wilde, The Merry Book of Christmas Every year I post the same question on my facebook wall: “When thinking of your childhood, what do you remember about Christmas?” Go ahead, take a minute and think [...]

I have a couple other projects in the works, but I’m excited to report that I’ve finished my first Pinterest inspired craft. I’m not a very crafty person, so this is a major accomplishment. I found this one and thought it looked super cute and fairly easy. I originally couldn’t find Martha’s glitter (as this blogger used), [...]

Have you been to your high school reunion yet? My class recently had its 15 year reunion, and I was really dreading it! In fact I actually didn’t decide to go until the day before! I was having a lot of fun connecting on facebook, but I was pretty much terrified at the thought of [...]

Something funny happened this summer. I decided not to send my oldest son to preschool summer camp, because I thought it would be fun to be able to do whatever we wanted. It was probably one of the bigger mistakes I’ve made since becoming his mother. You see, my son is a bit on the [...]

Do you follow Money Saving Mom? She has an amazing DIY section on her site that has really inspired me. In fact, I came across this post about a year ago in which she challenged herself to try a home-made project every month. I thought it was a great idea, but at the time I [...]

I bet you didn’t know that Indiana is known for its wineries? I didn’t know until moving here, but now that I’m here, it makes total sense. With its rich soil and strong growing season, Indiana provides the ideal conditions for grape growing. Now, I’m not going to lie…I really don’t know much about wine. [...]
