I don't even know what to say about the last few weeks. We have been busy wrapping up a few things for school because we will be taking a break next week! Colton will also be home from school so I expect that we'll be spending every spare minute outside and playing. I need to... Continue Reading →
Bookish Chatter | A Week of Prize Reading, along with a Buzzy Book and More Underpants
Happy Wednesday! I hope everyone's week is off to a great start. Ours has been moving forward with a few hitches.

Hello everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. Mine was full -- busy with baking and cooking. Sometimes I don't enjoy those tasks, but I have been lately. I hope that feeling sticks for a while because it's a very big part of my job around here! And the best part is that the... Continue Reading →

And this morning was an awkward start -- I accidentally... Continue Reading →
