This is a Fashionista Event and a promotional item was provided to me. Hosts for this event are Still Blonde after all these Years and ModlyChic  Recently I sat down to write a blog post thinking to use photos from an important moment in our family history, our honeymoon, and discovered those photos were gone. To make matters […]

Coincidence or Serendipity?

Filed Under: Family, Travel

On Father’s Day, I was talking to my parents and randomly decided to check airfare to visit them in Florida. We already had a trip planned two months later, so I knew we’d see them soon. But we had a couple of weeks at the end of June with not much going on. All of […]

What a week and it’s only Wednesday! John’s 40th birthday just happened to coincide with the start of Spring Break on Monday.

Projecting Anxiety in Momhood: Is it Mine or Theirs?

Filed Under: Family, Kids Activities, Mental Health, Motherhood

It happens a lot as a mom with anxiety. My kids are faced with situations that I find overwhelming and I project my own anxiety onto them. Or do I? Ronin has had some struggles with anxiety in his early years. At seven, he’s so much more confident than he used to be and has flourished […]

Entertaining When You Have Kids

Filed Under: Family, Food, Gluten Free, Parties/Holidays

Disclosure: I received sparkling wine and #LiveGloriously party supplies from Gloria Ferrer. All opinions are my own.  One year ago, this giant trampoline lived in our dining area. (It’s so embarrassing. I had to hunt for quite some time to actually find photos to share.)  Ack! For over two years–27 long months to be exact–this monstrosity affectionately […]

Big Hero 6 {Review and Printable Kids Activities}

Becoming Someone Else

Filed Under: Family, Fashion, Parties/Holidays, Self Image

As children we like to play pretend, be creative and dress up. We love to act silly, bold or brave and become someone else. But once we grow up, that isn’t always the case anymore.  Dressed as Queen Elsa with Crocheted Hat/Wig and Tepig from Pokemon I suppose I never grew up because I’ve always […]

Rainy Day at the Pumpkin Patch #MoreSeattle

Disclosure: I am a Verizon #MoreSeattle Team Member and received product. All opinions are my own as always. This week Ellie and I went on her preschool field trip to the pumpkin patch. The Farm at Swan’s Trail in Snohomish is an annual tradition for her preschool. We always love going, but on Thursday it […]

Unfolding a Birthday Surprise: Kids Poster Cards

Filed Under: Family, Parties/Holidays

Ronin turned seven this Sunday. SEVEN! And he’s been counting down to the BIG day for months. We love birthdays around here and always try to do it up and make the kids feel very special. But one thing I don’t often get them are kids cards. I mean really, as a preschooler, Ronin hardly ripped the envelope before […]

An Ode to Pumpkin

Filed Under: Family, Gluten Free, Kids Activities

I wandered through the aisles of store The ones I’d walked on times before When all at once I saw a gourd A host, of ten or twenty more Above the apples, next to squash A deepest orange I thought quite posh Its flavor beckoned here and there In beverage, food, upon the air Oh autumn I am […]
