wordless wednesday ~ body art

I think the whole body art thing is still lingering from Canada. And honestly, my tip for you is you just gotta go with it sometimes in order to keep both the peace and your sanity. It all began with drawing pictures to hide an ugly temporary wall..... But then Addie happened....

sprinkles mom of the month

Now I don't necessarily think that what I do is any more unique or special than any other mom. Truly, I think we are all remarkable for being moms and that ANY mom will admit, that she had no idea the job she was taking on until she became a mom! All that being said, I'm often asked in emails if I would post what my daily schedule with the...

friday favorite ~ who needs school to love a backpack!?!?

It's been a little while since I've shared a new FAVORITE, so I thought it might be fun to throw one out there... (plus it's been awhile for a GIVEAWAY! Be sure to scroll to the end!) Now we are not starting preschool this fall, but do you really need to go to school to love a backpack??? I tend to obsess about things sometimes (who me?! what???). So I...

local love ~ did someone say food truck???

HOLY MOLY has it been a bit crazy since we returned from our trip. Truly, I'm surprised we are all still breathing around here...it feels like we have been running circles inside a tornado. But I suppose that's to be expected with most families. Come on Shanna, get with the program! It gets me in the gut though when I get so swamped that I can't post something, like when...

watch out picasso, here come the littles

As I've said, we've just returned from my parents cabin in Canada where we've been on vacation for the week. When you have a cabin by a lake in the woods, the surroundings give you LOTS to do. But it helps when you can "help" your Littles jump start that fun. Because my parents drove up, I sent up a bag of "goodies" to pull out with the kids throughout...

my favorite place

I've mentioned it before. My favorite place. The cabin on the lake where we spent our childhood summers. It was and is an amazing place. It's in the middle of NO WHERE (which I say with all affection, no where is a PERFECT place for the cabin to be). Addie & Hay visited with me last May, but this was the first time to take all 3 kids and to...

ashley ann…a wonderful new favorite!

I've said it before, that I love using Google Reader as it pulls the RSS Feeds from all my favorite blogs to one nice neat place. This made is easy for me to read in the middle of the night from bed while I was giving Piper her bottle, and now read when I wake up and can't for some unknown horrid reason, go back to sleep. But when I...
