This past weekend Elliott celebrated her first holy communion. When given two dates to choose from, I decided to go with Saturday the 11th of May so that it would fall on Mother’s Day weekend. My in-laws and mom would be in town and we’d all be able to celebrate Mother’s Day together for the [...]
When it comes to our kids’ birthday parties, I always have two things in mind…. Keep it simple. Make it special. This year we decided to have Holden’s party at the Wildlife Learning Center. We’d never been there, but learned that they do parties so I thought it’d be something different and educational at the [...]
Our little shaggy-haired almost 6-year old celebrated with his safari-going friends yesterday at an amazing local wildlife rescue center. Our weekend has been WILD, but so wonderful…..lots more pics to come! Thank you to all who came out into the beautiful olive grove to help Holden greet a new year. XOXO

Turkey Day came and went and this morning I packed up the last of the dark meat and mashed potatoes & gravy for Jay’s lunch. We hosted this year and were grateful that everyone came to us.

I have decided to bow out of a Cupcake Wars that I was [...]

Give this mama a theme [...]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day, friends! It’s a cold, rainy day here today ~ much like Ireland, so it’s perfect. The kiddos started out the morning in their Old Navy {lucky charm} jammies from last year and had Lucky Charms and green milk for breakfast…a must for leprechauns! I braved the storm and went to gather [...]
