This year I ended up going through some old college papers and lots of Lily’s baby stuff. Funny enough, college and pregnancy are practically hand in hand for me, since I was attending college for [...]
On Vivid Dreams & Harsh Realities Sometimes, I love to just sit and think about all the ways that my baby girl is just like me. She’s tough, she’s independent, she’s strong and always analyzing her world…figuring out the best way to come at a problem. I love that about her. ♥ One thing I [...]
How I Get My Daughter to ‘Buckle Up’ with No Fuss I’m sure we’ve all been there. Getting our kids to buckle up can be seriously difficult at times an even frustrating when we’re in a hurry and can’t get them to budge. But even though there is no way to get them buckled without [...]
Veggie Tales Balloon Puppets Craft Lily and I make balloon animals and mock cartoon characters ALL.THE.TIME. She loves puppets and we probably do a mini puppet show just about everyday.

So, my husband and I have had this idea about being on the radio forever…since we met. He’s always wanted to be on the radio and I’ve always been determined to get my voice out there, one way or another, thus…blogging. ;) Anyway, we’ll probably being doing a podcast series together at some point [...]
