Every woman has her hero.  Some women admire women that juggle work and home, others admire the beautiful wife with the beautiful house, still others admire the ultimate gritty homemaker who sews and bakes and cans and budgets.  Well, my mom hero is the lady that walks all her kids…

I tackled the organization of my game closet recently. It turns out it ain’t so bad to have a kid get his tonsils out. A lot can be accomplished with 3.75 ml of Lortab.

Ssh. I have a secret to tell you. I am sort of glad summer is almost over. Don’t get me wrong, I love summer, but I also love when it is over because that means back to schedules, routines, and weekly traditions. One of my favorite weekly traditions that I am excited to get back to is our Family Game Night.
