Inspiration for teaching young children!
With the coming of baby #4, I have had people asking if we have plans for moving to a bigger house. We do have plans to one day have more living space, but for the time being, our house is actually just what we need, and also what we want! Just to clarify, I have not been in the least… Read More
We recently found Discovery Channel’s “How It’s Made” videos on YouTube, and I had to share with you all, in case you don’t know about these. They are 3-5 minute clips showing how common everyday items are made. They have everything from breath mints, to jelly beans, to false teeth….yes, really, false teeth! Some of our favorites have been: How… Read More

There are many variations to these tasty treats on the internet, so I by no means claim the originality of this recipe. I’ve seen them called energy bites, energy balls, oat balls… But whatever you want to call them, they’re amazing! I love them, because they are yummy, made with healthy ingredients, packed with protein, and the kids can help… Read More
This particular poem has always been very inspirational to me. I’m not one who cries at everything, but this makes me get all teary EVERY time I read it. When I redesigned it for the blog, I eliminated a line or two of the copy. The author is unknown, but whoever wrote this had a beautiful perspective. The days can seem… Read More
Hey mamas, can we talk friendship today? When I became a newlywed… and then a mom… and then a mom of two, life kind of changed so quickly that it was like one day I woke up and realized, “Wow! I’m at a totally different place in life, but I still kind of feel like I’m 18!” My best friend… Read More
