Birthdays 2015
Birthday celebrations and birthday memories! No all-out shin-digs or parties, but special lunches and celebrating that our kiddos were born! I love birthday parties and birthday bashes, but I’m not always up to the effort of anything too big. Even if I don’t always throw the parties that I’d like to in my mind, we […]
Midnight Christmas Decorations
Continued from Christmas Eve…. We tucked into our covers and slept soundly… {No visions of sugarplums dancing in our heads…that I am aware of} BUT, there was an idea that had been in someone’s head for quite a while… And while I thought everyone was sleeping soundly………some just didn’t get there quite as quickly…… […]

We Throw a Party
I had a friend who turned forty this fall. It seemed like the perfect opportunity to throw a party! I really love setting things up for a party. It does take time and effort, so it doesn’t always happen. 🙂 Lovely fall flower arrangement! It was part of my friend’s gift and served as our centerpiece […]

Because It’s So Much Fun To Set A Pretty Table and I Love to Remember the Details
My sister-in-law recently had a birthday and we had a small celebration to celebrate her! 🙂 I’ve always enjoyed tea parties and setting a pretty table and fixing up little things for lunches and celebrations. One of the first parties I remember having was a Valentine Party when I was a young girl. Several of […]
Oh Glorious Day! Blessed Easter!
Wonderful words. Wonderful song. Hallelujah! Jesus is alive! I need Him so much. I rejoice that He gave His life for me. He shed His blood for me. Time and time again, I need this grace, this gift, so freely given. I’m redeemed, yet I fail. Where would I be without the empty tomb and […]
Of Teaparties and Good-byes
I really do love a tea party. I hadn’t hosted one for a good while and had thought a few times that it really would be fun to have one. Well, an opportunity presented itself and I knew I really wanted to make the time and effort to do this. {Apparently, REALLY, since I used […]
Lego Themes Birthday
Legos are pretty much Tucker’s main thing. He builds and builds and builds some more. He kept rolling around ideas and debating what he wanted to do for his birthday cake this year. He finally settled on “Lego Themes”. He simply set up a board with figures from a variety of themes that Lego […]

This was the birthday girl’s cake on her birthday. Last year my kiddos decorated their own cakes. They loved […]

Where have the years gone? Isn’t this every mother’s song? My girl turns twelve today. Impossible. But here. Twelve short years. Many changes. I had to laugh as I scanned these baby pictures into my computer and as I edited them and noticed the quality is so much different then, than now, twelve short […]
