“Ferb, I know what we are going to do today…”. This Phineas and Ferb Party was a blast to throw! Confession: I LOVE Disney’s Phineas and Ferb show. I watch it all the time. Without my kids around. So I was pretty excited when my youngest son decided that he wanted a Phineas and…
Thankful for My Little Brother
In the beginning of the month I like to plan out what I would like to focus on for my Thankful Thursday posts. But this week I have just had one thought on my mind. Thursday night I learned that my brother had been involved in a hit and run. And to make things worse he…
Thankful for Those in BLUE
This week for my Thankful Thursday posts I wanted to share my gratitude for the brave men and women in blue. Police Officers aren’t always appreciated. This year especially there has been a rise of hatred towards our police force. It really breaks my heart. Now I know there are some bad cops. There are…

Endor Leia Hair Style Tutorial
Endor Leia Hair might be my favorite. I know her classic look in New Hope is really awesome, but I’m a big fan of her hairstyle on the planet Endor. Return of the Jedi is my favorite Star Wars movie. Last year our family Halloween theme was Return of the Jedi. I decided to go…
