Sam is one month old already and I assure you it was the fastest month in my life. I don’t know how it’s even possible because I know we were just at the hospital yesterday. He seems so much bigger to me but I keep reminding myself it’s possible he isn’t even as big as … More Sam at 1 Month
Our little Sam Man came into the world the day after spring began and he’s perfection. Life was so hectic and busy throughout the pregnancy that besides for being very sick in the beginning, I didn’t get bogged down by it. As low-key as Sam was in the womb he is outside of it. He … More Samuel Anders
My sweet boy turned 3 at the start of the month and immediately following a weekend of celebration I collapsed with influenza. Consequently this post is a little late. “Lucas is having a fun day, he building with soft blocks. When I asked him what he built, he said ‘A concert’. We wanted to take … More Lucas is 3!
Our Sunday craft projects are going strong around here. Since Peppa Pig we’ve done a Pokemon and Elmo. This weekend’s project was for President’s Day and a bit more elaborate than most. I love presidential history and struggled between doing something for Washington, Lincoln, FDR or Obama – for a bit I considered doing something … More President’s Day Craft
It’s official – I’m a city commissioner! This week I was sworn into the Livonia Historical Commission and will serve a three year term to promote the events and activities at Greenmead Historical Park (and hopefully make it more profitable). With Sam’s birth only weeks away it can seem a little crazy to take on … More Stepping Up
On the top of my mind these days is daycare/pre-school. There are a lot of factors to consider and I want to make sure I am preparing Lucas for kindergarten the best I can. With these thoughts swirling in my head in the middle of the night Saturday, I thought of a fun craft for … More Currently
For the past couple months, I put on my Betsy Ross’ bonnet and pulled out the thread and needle to make custom pillowcases for Lucas and Sam. After many ups and downs the project is finally complete (well almost, I want to add buttons to the back but that could take months or years). Before … More For The Boys
A friend introduced me to a the #150HoursOutsideProject a challenge/support network for families who want to spend more time outside with their kids. It’s a fun resolution and one I don’t think we’ll have any trouble making. We live outside in the summer months but I hope this encourages us to spend more time outside in … More 150 Hours
There was a rare warm day not too long ago and we got our family photos taken at a nearby park and I LOVE them! Danny takes such great pictures of other people, it’s nice that we have some good photos of our own. Other things I’m currently up to…. Excited to get organized for the … More Currently
December is so exciting as a kid – the countdown to Santa, parties at school, family gatherings, an endless array of sweet treats. It’s the best time of the year and possibly life. But once you reach a certain age, December is nice but not quite as special and into adulthood more work than reward. … More The 24 Day To Christmas
