Spring Break Birthday Extravaganza

This past week was Arielle’s sixth birthday and Zavier’s fourth birthday, which just so happened to fall during Spring Break.

Happy birthday, Zavier! My sweet boy turned four on Monday. Or as he would say, “Foi!” and proudly hold his four little fingers in the air. “My a big boy! A-yell call me wittle, but my ish BIG!” (Translation: I’m a big boy! Arielle calls me little, but I am BIG!) He still talks funny, […]

Thrifty Entryway Decor and Inspiration

Yay, I finally decorated my entryway! It’s been awhile since I shared a home decor post.

The good news is that I’m patient and […]

I Forgot My Baby’s Name

I’m officially back to work from the Best Maternity Leave Ever.  It’s been a challenge to get into the swing of things like dealing with the cold weather, getting the kids back to school, and keeping up with the fast-paced work environment.  So far I didn’t forget to wear pants to work (yes, that actually happened!
