I have an obsession with The TomKat Studio. I'll admit it, but it really shouldn't come as a surprise, as whatever I deem to be a favorite, I truly am a loyal follower. The TomKat Studio. first wowed me with their help on the Three Ring Circus Birthday Party last year. And of course I'm addicted to their free printable calendar. (And just read that there is a weekly calendar...

So fun!! Loved seeing this on the news stand this week! (I hinted about it ages ago...) Last Thursday I was sitting in the salon chair of the fabulous Tera Stephens. And she happened to say "Hey, I saw the Halloween party article in Yum for Kids magazine. Did you know it was out? So fun to see you and your kiddos having so much fun." The record screeched to...
Every now and then I get a phone call or email asking me if I can help with some design staging ~ parties, rooms, etc. It's definitely something I love to do and is very much my past life. So when I can find a way to squeeze a project or two in, I do! I love the challenge! This past October was one of those times. Our home had...
For some reason having 2 kids under 2 and being pregnant was doable. Tough, but I could make it work. Then 2 kids under 2 with a young baby (a young, easy, totally & miraculously self sufficient baby) was doable. Tough, but life worked. Now... 3 kids, 2 and under (Piper turns 1 on Wednesday, Addie turns 3 this coming Monday, Hayden turned 2 a few weeks ago). Well....life just...
I don't even know HOW it can be Valentines Day in a week! This year is FLYING by so fast I can't even say I'm barely keeping up...I'm not keeping up AT.ALL. I wonder if my kids will care if I serve their Valentine pancakes on their Santa plates? I'm pretty sure I have not put them away yet....and I know there aren't any heart plates in the cupboard! Maybe...
Contrary to popular belief, I did not have a grand plan for our wedding. Things sort of came together as we went along. I mean I knew certain things that I wanted, and I also knew that in the directions I chose to take, I would find elements that I could keep consistent through out. But at the time we decided on the Mauna Kea in Hawaii, the only thing...
I should have known when this photo was taken that we would be in trouble. These are my bridesmaids. 4 of them are pregnant. And my Matron of Honor, who is not in the photo as she was not able to travel at the last minute, was pregnant. And my wedding coordinator was pregnant. And our photographer was pregnant, 8 months pregnant! And she took this photo on the hottest...
If you are anything like me, then you might stress, just a little bit, before company comes for dinner. So many things that you want to have look "just so". One of those things for me is a nice arrangement of flowers. But for some crazy reason, I just don't always have the time to run out and grab one when I need one these days... (I'm really not sure...
Our wedding. It was 4 years ago this November. Unbelievably, it seems like yesterday. However, 3 babies and a mortgage tell me it was not! We were engaged in February ’06 and married 9 months later (And nope, there sure wasn’t a bun in the oven!! Addie didn’t come into our lives until March ‘08!). The Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii had become a special place to...
