The Sun is Out!!
While the sun does not mean warm here in the Pacific Northwest, it does mean, get outside while you can before it changes! So after workout on Saturday morning, we headed out to Cedar Creek Trail and walked around for a bit. We did the loop trail and somehow walked...
Celebrating Molly’s 6th Birthday
This year for Molly's birthday, we invited 2 of her friends to join us for Tea at the American Girl Store up in Lynwood. The 14 of us headed up there last week (6 kids, 6 dolls and 2 moms). The girls enjoyed time looking around and the store and Molly had fun...
Has it really been 12 years?
It's hard to believe that 12 years ago today my Mom went home to be with the Lord. Memories of that morning flooded into my head at the breakfast table this morning . . . followed shortly by a quick call to my Dad and a quick text to my Aunt Karen. While I might...
Rub-a-dub-dub, 3 girls in the tub
Lately, I feel like the girls are growing before my eyes. So when they asked today if they could all take a bath together, I said yes, thinking that it probably won't even be an option for much longer. They were adorable so I had to grab my camera and snap a few...
Look Who is 6 Today!
I can't believe Molly turns 6 today! How can it be 6 years already? So many thoughts come back to my mind when I start thinking about the events leading up to her birth: I am in labor 1 hour away from the hospital, which I had chosen because it was 5 minutes away...
January 10-on-10
On one of the blogs I follow, The Blessed Everyday Photography, the photographer suggests taking 10 pictures during 10 hours of the day on the 10th day of every month. I tried it a few times last year and loved it. So, I'm starting off strong and even getting...
I Might Never Buy Cleaning Supplies from the Store Again
My husband is an amazing chef. I love to learn from him, enjoy all the food he makes, but I really dislike washing chef coats. And when I say dislike, I really mean hate. I really have nothing nice to say about chef coats. They are big and bulky, stains stick to...
Dinner and a Movie
We have a weekly tradition here in our home - Friday night dinner and a movie. It's a special treat when Daddy is home on a Friday evening and tonight he was! We watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, ate chili and enjoyed a selection of Wonka candy for dessert.
Seattle Free Museum Day
Every month, a few museums in Seattle (and Tacoma) open their doors to visitors for free! With the ages of our girls, I love this, as we don't usually stay for very long. It's a bit crowded, but it's free, so no complaints from us. Since this day is always a...
The End of Another Year
I can't believe it's already New Year's Eve - aka Sage's favorite day of the year (because she eats a bunch of yummy food, watches movies and gets to stay up really late). We had a few playdates during the day and then enjoyed our usual tradition of appetizers and...
