Since I got married in 2005, I’ve been a stickler for sending Christmas cards.  It’s just one of those nice things that help spread holiday cheer and keep friends a little bit more in touch.  I’ve done pictures of us with a dog, pictures of us with Rayna, and last year just Rayna.  This year [...]

Wordless Wednesday – A Toy Story Halloween

November 2, 2011

I thought Raggedy Ann & Andy would be totally adorable for my pair, but who am I kidding?  Rayna took one look at the Halloween costume catalog when it came in the mail (after I ripped out the scary pages—seriously, Walking Dead costumes for children!?  I sure hope little kids aren’t watching that show!) and [...]

How much of this should I save?

October 21, 2011

Sometimes I feel like the world’s most sentimental mom.  My mother instilled that in me (from herself) and it really manifests in all the little things I save.  Rayna loves to color, draw, do crafts, etc. and she is churning out masterpieces faster than I can keep up with.  Everytime she comes home from school, [...]

Another awesome genealogy find

October 11, 2011

I’ll admit, the blog has taken the back burner lately.  Between the two little ones, attempting to (still) settle into the house, do my silly cross stitch and conduct as much genealogy research as I can from my home computer, I haven’t had as much time to blog.  There also haven’t been too many exciting advancements in [...]
