We finally made it to Purina Farms today, after canceling our plans last Friday due to cold unseasonably cold temps and Autumn’s nasty 3 day fever. We hit the jack pot, with a sunny day in the lower 60’s! I warned the kids in the car that I wanted to get just ONE photo of… >> View Post

iPhone Photo Dump
I have never done an iPhone photo dump before, but I thought it would be fun since today is my Friday (3 day weekend, yes!). If you don’t follow me on Twitter or Instagram yet, you probably haven’t seen any of these photos… so feel free to add me! Or, if you are friends with… >> View Post
My Easter Decor & My Favorite Easter Pinterest Finds
Sometimes I wonder why I put up my Easter decor this year, with Easter being just so, so early. But, I always remember that my precious little kids love to see the house decorated for Easter and it makes the holiday seem more real. That makes it so worth it for me to drag it… >> View Post
Snowman Decorated with Dyed Easter Eggs
After we dyed the Easter eggs, we decided to give the kids some time to play in the abundance of snow that was outside. I love to make snowmen and had seen a really neat idea on Molly’s blog on how she decorated hers with dyed Easter eggs. I thought it would be perfect since… >> View Post
What to do when you are snowed in? Dye some eggs!
What a crazy Spring it has been… Spring break was in the 40’s and then today a MASSIVE snow storm (up to 8-10″). Nathan had to sing in choir for church for two services and then I pulled Autumn out of Sunday school early, because the roads were getting snow covered. Now the kids have… >> View Post
A REALLY long update. Kids, stress, Disney, running, etc.
Every so often I like to do a little (ok this one is BIG) update post to let everyone know what has been going on in my part of the world. I am going to try to break this up into some categories, because there is so much and I don’t want to ramble on… >> View Post

Organizing your Spices
Since marrying Brian last October, we have had a lot of ‘junk’ to combine… one of them being our hundreds of spices! We both love to cook, but when I tried to combine his spices with mine in my small pantry… it went down hill rather quickly. Here is a photo of the spice shelf… >> View Post
City Museum, quite an experience!
Last Saturday we decided to take the kids to the City Museum. City Museum is a museum, consisting largely of re-purposed architectural and industrial objects, housed in the former International Shoe building in the Washington Avenue Loft District of St. Louis, Missouri. Brian and I were discussing that there really is not any other museum… >> View Post
St. Pat’s Scavenger Hunt
The kids found that Leprechaun Nickel had been roaming the house while they were fast asleep. Aside from their special Leprechaun breakfast, they noticed he has used the potty! And, had left some green foot prints on the toilet!Autumn still talks about Elfie (from Christmas) using our potty, so of course Leprechaun Nickel had to… >> View Post
Breakfast with a Leprechaun
I used to collect trolls in my younger teens and every time St. Patrick’s day gets near I pull out Leprechaun Nickel. Last year, my kids really took an interest in him and I came up with our very first St. Pat’s Scavenger hunt. This year, I wanted to make it a little more special,… >> View Post
How I train for a half marathon…
When I signed up for my very first half marathon I knew that I would need to select a training plan and follow it leading up to the race day. There were a lot of different training plans out there, but since I was still using my Nike+ pod then, I decided to go with… >> View Post
