Love

I tell my Husband and sons that I love them, multiple times a day.  We say it when we part ways, when we meet again, and when we say good night.  But sometimes between going to work and taking care of the kids the words “I Love You” lose their substance.   For me Valentine’s Day… Continue reading Love

I am a Pinwhore.  I admit it.  If you go to my personal Pinterest there are several thousand pins.  That being said, I refer to Pinterest for just about everything.  Spencer, Xander, Bradyn or Mackenzie have a birthday coming up?  Someone needs a new crochet hat?  My friend is pregnant?  Why of course they need… Continue reading Better than store bought Play Dough
