Family Organizational Craft

I saw this post on Amanda’s blog and thought it was a beautiful chart to keep the family organized.  You can easily adapt it for whatever your family’s needs are: a extra-curriucular activities schedule board, whose turn it is to plan the meals, family activity ideas, etc.  But I love that the kids drew and [...]

grounding

John and I just finished our taxes and I also had to do taxes for Meet Your Maker this year (with quite a bit of help) and my head is about to explode.  I hate it so much.  I end up feeling so stupid.
Good thing I have Ruby to remind me to breathe and practice [...]

updates

I’ve updated my banner and links if you’re interested.  The photo on my banner was taken by John of the fingerless mittens he made for me.  I love them and this shot of Ruby holding on to me.  She loves the camera and wanted to get in on the picture.
We should all do what, in [...]

link love

A lovely spring image I found.  Makes me want to travel to Europe.  We’ve been enjoying some gorgeous weather here, promising that spring is coming, but the forecast calls for snow (!) this weekend.  Sigh.
