Hi! I haven’t been able to post as I’ve been having issues with my host and storage. I would LOVE to hear if there is a website or hosting service you fellow bloggers are using and LOVE?! I need more storage and am looking into platforms with more storage capacity at a REASONABLE price!
Will resume with regularly scheduled content as soon as it is fixed…..
Talk soon!
Continue readingGood morning, and happy Valentine’s Day! It’s so awesome when Valentine’s Day lands on a Friday – mostly if you plan on doing something this day and get a sitter, lol! I think our day will involve hanging with the kiddos and doing our favorite tradition annual Valentine card reading! Andrew’s dad used to do this When he was a kid, now we torture our own kids lol the Valentines day card reading Andrew opening everyone of the kids Valentines and reading them in a cringe voice acting as if the note on the Valentine is from a legit crush lol it is torture ha ha!
The kids are off for another 4 day weekend! What a life!
Of course, I’m linking up with some of my favorite bloggers to share them!
Hey, hey, hey and happy Tuesday! My gosh have we had a brutal winter of cold this year! I was looking at the forecast- really wondering when I can stop out into the garden and work on some things and I’m not sure the ground will ever thaw! Let’s pray the weather starts taking a turn!
Today, is Prime Time Tuesday where we take a look at some of our Amazon purchases this month. Since it’s Valentine’s Day week, most of my purchases this month have to do with a craft I plan to do for JP’s class party!
So let’s have a look at our Amazon this month!

Another week and another week filled with no school for the kiddos! These kids have had a good run here and are upset to go back to school for ONE MORE DAY. I told them, it’s literally Friday, the weekend is here, but they gave me a hard time this morning.
Of course, I’m linking up with some of my favorite bloggers to share them!
Happy Tuesday! Today I am re-sharing my cleaning checklist because I use it every single day! In an effort to keep up with things around the house and not get TOO overwhelmed, I put together a thorough home maintenance schedule based on combining multiple cleaning checklists.
I shared in my Motherhood Monday post today, that I need small achievable goals and this cleaning checklist allows me flexibility and a realistic approach to taking care of our home.

It’s Friday!! The weekend is here again? HOW??! The kids had two days of school this week, so they are pumped for another couple days off of school yet again!
We are looking forward to a fun weekend – the school is kicking off Catholic Schools week with a paint night and dinner so that should be a fun time for our family!

Oh my goodness, when I went to clone a former day in the life post, 1.23.24 – Snow Day Edition, happened to be the last one! It’s crazy, how life can be so similar just a year apart. I had it on my calendar to share a day in the life post today and it happened to ALSO be another snow Day edition. The kids have been out of school and truly enjoyed their 5-day weekend…
So, today, we are back in the swing of things and about to share our day yesterday! Hope you enjoy reading along! These posts are like little journal entries for me, and I am so happy I write them because I know someday, I will absolutely love looking back at the good ole days!
Continue readingHappy Friday everyone! Another week down – how are we in the middle of January already?!
I think we are gearing up for a LOOOONNNNGGG weekend and hope I haven’t been hyping the kids up too much… we are expecting some cold temps Tuesday and Wednesday next week – and with MLK day on Monday, I’m thinking a 5 day weekend…
Of course, I’m linking up with some of my favorite bloggers to share them!
Good morning and Happy Thursday! My gosh, it’s been FREEZING cold here and very snowy (consistently), which hasn’t happened the past couple winters. The past couple winters have been very mild and had a lot less days of snow on the ground. I am really enjoying it though.
Today, I’m giving winter all the love in this post. Why I’ve come to love it and appreciate it more. Now, I’m not gonna lie, I start to get really annoyed by the end of February, but for now, let’s embrace the beauty winter has to offer!
So let’s jump into some winter love…

Happy Tuesday! It is BITTER cold here in northeast Ohio and the kids are going to be bummed to hear, there is school today! I think a “cold day” is on the horizon, but I can’t guarantee anything and probably shouldn’t get the kids hopes up!
Today, I’m bringing back Prime Time Tuesday where we take a look at some of our Amazon purchases this month.

Happy Monday, everyone! This past weekend FLEW – not only did I feel it, but the kids felt it this morning! I hope you all had a great weekend and are ready to tackle the week ahead!
Today, I wanted to share a recent “project?” I guess I would call it. As I mentioned, my goals for this year are to streamline and simplify. In our house, I made a list of the areas that are CONSTANTLY causing me problems. Want to know what one of the main problem points is?
Continue readingWe made it to Friday and hustled back into a routine after two weeks of rest, relaxation and pure sloth behavior. I have to say – I’ve loved it – it was much needed and a favorite FOR SURE! Sharing some favorites from the week below!
Of course, I’m linking up with some of my favorite bloggers to share them!
I hope everyone is having a great week so far – I personally can’t believe it’s Thursday! Almost the weekend – whoooa hooo!
Okay, so I’m catching everyone up with our 2024 as I abruptly stopped blogging in the spring last year. Today, I’m sharing part 2 of my year in review recap! You can check out part 1 if you missed it here.

Happy Wednesday, everyone! We are making it through the week and it is honestly going way easier than I expected. The kids have adjusted really well, but this morning will be the true test as Tommy has his first day back to school. He has truly loved sleeping in.
Today, I figured I would recap our 2024 as I legitimately left the blogging scene back in the spring. While it was nice not worrying about blogging, I did miss it a lot! Spring tulip season rocked me to my core and I’m sure that’s when blogging stopped! So let’s pick up where we left off and share some updates from March-July!

March, where’d you go?! Oh my gosh, we are alive and well and thoroughly enjoying our days! March flew in and BLEW out! I miss blogging, but just don’t get to it like I used to. My busiest times are March, April & May. It’s planting season, seed starting, tulips, Girl Scout Cookie Manager, plant sale publicity for my local garden club, ad posting for said sale and subscriptions, Mother’s Day, end or school, etc….all the things start happening soon. I wish I could be better at blogging (one of my goals), but I just keep swinging and missing. In the past couple months, I’ve shifted my mindset on being present for family, the household and my “jobs”. Those things take precedent!
While I miss blogging and hope to do better down the line and put less stress on perfectionism, let’s jump back in by sharing my most favorite updates of the month!
Continue readingHey, hey, hey and Happy Friday! This week, I decided to share some winter “updates”. Last week I shared a February Garden Update and a post about my recent appreciation for winter.
With the extra day in February yesterday, I thought it would be fun to incorporate some of my favorite winter things!
If you’re from the North, you know January and February (sometimes March) can drag in terms of winter. It’s the time when everyone starts to complain and wish for warmer weather. While I cannot even wait for Spring (18 days) and for the sun to set after 7 pm (9), I wanted to share my appreciation for winter before it’s over and we move on!
Of course, I’m linking up with some of my favorite bloggers to share some Friday Favorites with you all!
