We took the kids to the Reds game last night and to Max’s amazement many of the characters from his all-time favorite movies were in attendance last night! It was Star Wars Night at the Ballpark! A perfect treat for an almost five year old celebrating his birthday a few days early at the game!...
Inspired by Soule Mama: “{this moment} – A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you’re inspired to do the same, leave a link to your ‘moment’ in the comments for all...
I mentioned my mother’s kitchen window in a post a few weeks back, and I thought I would share a picture of it so you can see how beautiful and unique it is. My mother has collected some gorgeous glass objects over the years, many of which are antiques, and they make looking through her...

Rainbow Fish? Blue and Purple Polka Dots? The possibilities are endless with colors. Even very young children can do this...
Henry fell asleep while nursing today, and every time I tried to move to get up he fussed (which is unusual for him). So I laid back down, and remembered this poem from my Aunt Rita’s house. I blinked back the tears & snuggled back in. And guess what, the laundry and dishes were still...
