Easy Pumpkin Spice Cookies

Easy Pumpkin Spice Cookies

Last week I called Julie to tell her it felt like Christmas in my house. That’s because I was baking cookies from scratch. I only do that once a year: at Christmas. But, lately all the girls want to do is cook. Maggie sits at the crock pot each afternoon & carefully adds all of the ingredients. I let them… Read More

31 Days of Funny Moments

This weekend, the girls came up with a new game to play: Hair dresser. We have A LOT of bows at our house. Maggie takes down the entire basket & creates a “new do” for Alex. At the end, it ends up looking more like a preppy bow helmut.

She also takes being a super hero very seriously sometimes & when she is “trying to rescue” someone or something, she won’t even crack a smile.  But the best part about Alex being “Super Alex” are… Read More

Every once in a while, the girls play together quietly. It’s rare. Usually when they play together it = running at the speed of light, wrestling, tackling, flying blocks & jumping on the couch.

Second Opinions & Invisalign

Second Opinions & Invisalign

This is a sponsored post by Invisalign. As always, all thoughts & opinions are my own.  I never had braces. As a kid, my doctor said I didn’t need them. My teeth are straight, but I have some pretty big spaces. It never bothered me much, but now that I am getting older (hit the big 3 – 0), I’ve… Read More
