Me and my littles

Here is a rare picture of me with both my babies!

We were snuggled up to watch the Elf on the Shelf movie!

Little gems

Every now and then Caleb sends me pictures from his phone.

These ones made me smile.

"Put them in water"

Marshall has been particularly testy recently.

Terrible twos already?!?

I was having a very challenging morning and recalled a line from the Sark writing I published earlier.

"If they're crabby, put them in water."

Worked like a charm!

Words to live by

Jolly the Elf

This little guy joined our family for the holidays!

As Mia was reading the story about the Elf on the Shelf, she was so full of awe and wonder, she reached over and held my hand! 

Being her mom and seeing the world through her beautiful, innocent eyes is such an honor.

Fostering and encouraging the wonder and innocence brings me as much joy as it does her. 

Welcome to our home Jolly!

We look forward to sharing the holidays with you. 

Cheers to 40 years!

Tonight we celebrated Grandma and Grampa's 40th Anniversary with them!

It was a special treat for us all to be together.

We should all be so lucky to have a love like these two have!

Getting my craft on!

I've managed to get some crafting done recently!

I am especially proud of this nativity scene I made for my sister!

Mia and I made this gingerbread carousel!

We had fun doing it AND it turned out cute!
