A Thousand Emotions..

Blog Challenge: Share a Photograph. If a picture says a thousand words, it might also convey a thousand emotions. Sometimes, it’s just plain chaos. I decided to share an outtake of our Christmas card. Eli-Princess is just done with this whole picture thing (big dog = little patience). Mookie has a cute pose with her […]

I think you can guess why this particular song is on my mind right now.. Everyone has a list of their fave Christmas songs. This one definitely ranks high on mine! I love me some Elton and this song is just so upbeat, you can’t help but bounce along to it. ENJOY!

Three Question Thursday 1.5.17

  1. “I don’t know how to feel about Carrie Fisher’s death.” Alright I admit it.. this isn’t a question. When I told Mini that Carrie had passed, she thought about it for a while then told me she wasn’t sure how to feel about it. 2016 was insane with the celebrity deaths, quite frankly.

I have to say I enjoyed this one. The holidays come with their emotional baggage, but are usually a good time. Well, onto the pics! Tis The Season… for hot soup! Our loaded potato soup, specifically. We start with a potato soup base and add cheddar, bacon bits and grilled chicken chunks. So. Insanely. Good.

Okay. You got me.. Mini’s not a baby. BUT this is her first planner, so it still works! Since I discovered my love of planners and printables a few years ago, Mini has yet to express an interest in any of them. When we were going over her Christmas list a few months back, she

It is VERY hard to get 4 dogs and a child to sit still! Even harder? Having them all look in the same direction at the same time! I have over 100 Christmas pics in my phone to prove this. We did some pretty amazing cards with Shutterfly, but the time and effort it took

I decided to link up with BlogHer’s November 2014 NaBloPoMo writing prompts. I have been looking for a good blog challenge and this is it! I already missed the post for November 3rd and it is after midnight on the 5th (meaning I technically missed the 4th), but I wanted to do the November 4th

I don’t know why nostalgia has been punching me in the gut lately. The losses I have experienced over the years have seemed to be hitting me the most in the past few months or so. I’ve cried so many times, I’ve lost count. I’m not really a crier. Last week, I was at Target

Mini Meets Up With Santa

4 Comments / Activities, Christmas, Mommy Moments, Mommy-Daughter Bonding /

We missed the annual “Breakfast with Santa” at the local Fire Department due to snow 🙁 Mini was pretty disappointed but understood. Does she believe in Santa? She believes he is a character in books. She doesn’t believe he brings her presents. She figured out that Santa, the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny *ahem*
