Thanks to Netflix for sponsoring this post and letting me share my families favorite shows with you! We are a BIG Netflix family.  We have subscribed for years.  In fact, Netflix is one of the reasons we decided to cut the cable cord.  It's great having a big database of shows to pick from when we want to watch.  And we LOVE not having to run out and pick up a movie. We have been talking with our girls lately about media.  Which shows and music are appropriate for them. As they are … [Read more...]

Remember when I wrote about my fridge not getting cold?  Well we thought we had it fixed.  After unplugging and defrosting 3 times, we decided to throw out all the food {better safe than sorry} and got all new groceries.  We thought things were ok.  It had been a week all was working well.  Then this morning I noticed it was frosting over again. So we decided enough was enough and we are shopping for a new fridge. I would love your opinions. I think I am leaning towards a french door … [Read more...]

cute photo shoot

See this guy? Love him!  He always takes a great photo too.  He's a natural in front of the camera. See...and he doesn't even try.  He just looks so kind and happy.  It shines through.  That is one of the things I love most about him.  He is the nicest most giving person. As most of you know, my hubby has been working like crazy for the past year and a half.  We don't get to see him often.  And everyone misses him like crazy. So when I asked the girls if they wanted to do a photo … [Read more...]

My cute neighbor just found out she is expecting a boy!  I couldn't be more thrilled for her.  I can't wait for her little bundle to get here so I can snuggle with him.  My baby just turned 4 and I miss that newborn stage. So of course I was up for a photo shoot! The idea for this photo shoot was entirely hers.  I think it is quite adorable.

How to wear a buff and giveaway!

By · 3 Comments
our garden haul last year.

The nice people at Duluth Trading company heard I had a big gardening project coming up and offered to send me some work clothes. What I really love about these clothes is that They are designed for and tested in sweltering hot, high humidity heat.  They don't look like your typical gardening clothes either.  They have cool to the skin and moisture wicking properties built in.  Plus UPF and UV protection. I was also sent a buff to wear and my girls LOVE it! So we decided to put … [Read more...]
