This last weekend has been busy and amazing! The long awaited Deliver Us Concert was Friday and Saturday night. I had heard how amazing this concert would be, and it lived up to it’s hype. To make the moment even sweeter, it was my youngest son’s first concert. He loved performing. And he was so…
Leave No Trace
I absolutely LOVE scouting! The scouting program teaches boys how to become men. How to serve others and learn new skills. And it teaches them to in return help younger boys. One special award you can receive is the Leave No Trace badge. I know cub scouting is coming up on some exciting changes, but…

Thrift Store Find Makeover
I found this great Thrift store in the East Valley area. It’s called 360 Thrift. I really needed a little play table for baby girl. It would be perfect therapy for her to stand and play at a table to help strengthen her legs. Not only did I find one for only $1.99 I also…
Simple Little Coat Rack Tutorial

Celebrating Gandalf
Last week we celebrated our oldest son. He turned 10! Double digits are kinda a big deal. I can’t believe he is that old. Being his mother is an absolute joy! I remember his birth. I remember not wanting to sleep because I just wanted to look at him. I remember leaving the hospital only…
Favorite Family Games
I LOVE playing boards games. Especially with my family. It’s a perfect way to have fun and encourage communication and silly inside jokes. Now that my youngest boy is 4 we can play some fun games that are a little more my style. Not that I don’t love Candy land or Chutes and Ladders, but…
