Cheesy – In a Good Way

Tweet On a rainy day, long ago (it seems), we received a package delivered to our doorstep. We were very excited to see what was in this box. We all needed something to bring a smile to our faces. Inside this package was a bright orange Baby Loaf and in it was a cheese slicer, [...]

Soul Surfer :: The True Story of Bethany Hamilton

Tweet Last week, Ray and I had the privilege of attending a screening of the movie Soul Surfer with our four oldest kiddos. This true story of Bethany Hamilton sure left a lasting impression on all of us. This movie was so well done and accurately portrays Bethany’s faith and belief that God had a [...]

Out and About with the Inglesina Avio

Tweet I have seen, used, and owned a lot of strollers, first during my career as a babysitter and now as a mom. Some are slim and light. Others are big and bulky. And then, there are strollers that are hard to push and navigate through tight spaces, while others you can stroll with only [...]

Hallmark Recordable Storybooks Encourage Quality Time

Tweet It was just about 4 weeks ago when I told y’all that I didn’t have as much time as I would like to read to my kiddos. Do you remember? Well, a whole lot changed since then, including being told I needed to stay off my feet. Boy, did that little order from my [...]

“This is the best pizza ever!”

Tweet Ben seems to think that the sourdough pizza we made tonight, inspired by my grandfather’s famous recipe, is the best pizza ever. Of course, everyone agrees, but I suppose Ben thinks it’s particularly good partly because he and Josh helped me make it. First, we toasted both sides of sourdough bread slices, covered in [...]

Story Time with Hallmark Recordable Storybooks

POP!

Tweet We returned home late one evening, from a fun day out and about, to a package on our front doorstep. Not entirely an infrequent occurance, but certainly one that excited my younger two kiddos!

Lovely Memories

Tweet I noticed as I sat on my patio this afternoon that my Hibiscus Bonsai had begun to bloom… Gorgeous white flowers with dark purple centers. Whenever I see Hibiscus flowers I am transported back to Hawaii. The colors, fragrances, sounds and tastes return to me in a flood of memories. So, as I sat [...]

CREATE by Jason Wu {GE Digital Camera}

Tweet I love my Canon Rebel, but I find that it’s too big and bulky to carry with me to the park, the pool, and the soccer field, when I have six little ones in tow. So, I have this little camera that I pull out of my purse to snap pictures. I take it [...]
