Good morning and happy FRIDAY! Another week down – I seriously can’t believe how fast they fly! We’ve had a busy couple weeks adjusting to sports schedules and all the carpooling logistics and are happy to have found our groove!
Of course, I’m linking up with some of my favorite bloggers to share them!
It’s the last Wednesday of the month, and that means- MY FAVORITE POST! I’m linking up with some of my favorite bloggers Mix & Match Mama and Sheaffer Told Me To to share what has been happening around here!
My gosh – I feel like I’ve been saying this like crazy recently, but Spring is OFFICIALLY the busiest time of the year. I used to feel like Fall took the cake in this department, but Spring crushes me every single year. Even when I try my best to not do all the things so we can have down time, the activities find a way to all intersect in the worst way in the spring – not to mention the start of flower farming season that comes on FAST!
Like always, here’s a summary of what’s been happening around here!
Continue readingHey, hey, hey and happy Tuesday! Okay, I meant to share this last week, but we have been SO BUSY! Multiple showers where I helped assist with flowers, the start of spring sports and the crazy carpooling and logistics that go with it, gardening work, a shower, out of town wedding and everything in between, here I am. Basically you can check back here tomorrow for What’s up Wednesday to see!
Today, is Prime Time Tuesday where we take a look at some of our Amazon purchases this month.
So let’s have a look at our Amazon this month!
moreWe are SO ready for spring! We had a taste of some gorgeous weather this week (now there is snow back on the ground…yea this is spring in Cleveland.) it felt amazing to get outside and open up all the windows to let the fresh air in! I’m weirdly excited about daylight savings this weekend. I know some people hate it, but I love the fact we will start seeing a lot longer days filled with sunshine and light!
Of course, I’m linking up with some of my favorite bloggers to share them!
It’s Ash Wednesday and every year on this day, I find myself diving deeper and deeper into the Lenten season ahead. I’m not sure if it’s age or the more you learn spiritually every passing year, but you realize how precious life is and how temporary our life here on Earth is. As a Catholic, Lent is a time to grow in faith and grow closer to God. We prepare and reflect on the great sacrifice Jesus made for us. We repent, turn away from sin and seek to change our own life to become more Christ-centered.
I’ve shared this many times before, but we have the Hallow app and use it religiously (no pun intended). I LOVE the daily reflections – which serve as mini “homilies” on the daily Gospel reading. The other day, Jeff Cavins (the individual who writes the daily reflections) talked about a Latin phrase – “Momento Mori” translated “remember you must die“. That phrase has really stuck with me the past couple days – today particularly. While morbid, it is a reminder of our Earthly lives fleeting nature. It is also an important reminder to think about our purpose here and help focus on our hope and desire for eternal life. How can we get to Heaven?
moreOkay, who used to penpal?! I was telling Audrey recently how I used to write to my cousins, friends and grandparents. It was the best feeling getting letters in the mail and even felt so cool sealing the envelope and sending one out!
Continue readingHappy Friday and happy last Friday of FEBRUARY! I cannot believe how fast the month flew by and am just so tickled March is here. We are one step closer to spring – I can smell it in the air and hear all the beautiful bird songs all around us! I told the kids on the way to school today – we are almost out of it. Out of winter and back to days of sunshine and outdoor play – we are so ready!
Of course, I’m linking up with some of my favorite bloggers to share them!
Good morning and happy Thursday! After dealing with annoying issues, I’m back to blogging and can upload pictures again… yay!

I was having some storage/hosting issues on my website, and would appreciate any advice on this topic! What platform do you love if you blog and does it give you enough storage (i.e. cloud, etc). Site hosting is getting expensive, so I want to make sure I’m making the right decision so I can continue blogging!
Continue readingHi! 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!

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!

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.

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…
