I’m In The Picture (Week 3)
All 4 of our kids go to music class at MUSIC & PLAY. It’s a brilliantly run program that teaches all levels and ages how to play piano and the theory behind it. The program is 100% parented and requires daily practicing but it’s worth it for us, or rather me, to make that commitment. And it’s a bonus that … Continue reading

Dirty Dishes: Weekly Meal Plan
Phew, doing a weekly meal plan for a family of 6 is hard work. Keeping it interesting and new is even harder. Since starting my weekly meal planning I’ve compiled over 120 weeks of meals. WOW. Impressive, I know right? But when you’re cooking for 6 people, you can’t get home at 5pm from music class or dance and look … Continue reading
Life is Good #100
A while back I started gratitude journals for Brent and I and the 2 older kids. You can read about it more HERE. Sadly since life around here is in a transition of boxes and chaos, we haven’t quite gotten back into a routine of writing in them nightly or making the kids write in them nightly as we were … Continue reading
Girl Power
There has been a lot of talk about bullying in the news lately. Every week I turn on the TV and see another story about an extreme case of bullying that ends in suicide. The video of Amanda Todd’s story had me sobbing. I am heartbroken that children can be so devastatingly mean to each other. I have 4 daughters … Continue reading
Tattoo Tuesday – New York Ink
It’s tattoo tuesday! This tattoo is on my outer arm just above my wrist. It’s my take on a very popular tattoo image making the rounds on Pinterest using the word “love”.

Time For Botox?
I was getting ready to go out to an event and Brigette (9) was hanging out with me in the bathroom. I did my hair, picked out an outfit and got dressed. I was looking at my face in the mirror when this conversation happened… Brigette: You look different. Me: Really? How do I look different? Brigette: I don’t … Continue reading
Tattoo Tuesday – Happy Anniversary
I get asked alllllll the time about my tattoos and really, why shouldn’t I be asked? I have quite a few tattoos and since I’ve started migrating them down the fronts of my arms, they’re far more visible and by nature people are curious. So I’ve decided that I would like to profile a tattoo and the story behind it…some … Continue reading
I’m In The Picture (52 Week Photo Project)
Last week I came across an article in the Huffington Post called, The Mom Stays In The Picture. A mom blogger wrote about how she came to realize that thru a busy life, being on the other end of the camera and sometimes sheer vanity, she was rarely in any pictures with her kids. She feared that her kids would … Continue reading
Sh*t I Say @ The Dinner Table
Let me start off by saying that I love (love, love, love) my kids but there are a couple of times a day that I love them a little tiny bit less. One of those times would be dinner time. One of these days I should set up a camera and record the dinner table antics in our house. It’s … Continue reading
