Nothing makes this little boy happier than a day in the snow. You’d never know that he was born in Florida and spent a better part of his life enjoying warm temperatures, ridiculous humidity and the beach scene. While he adores the water and being near the ocean, this kid loves the snow. Sledding, snowball […]

I aplogize for the delay in this week’s Feature Friday post. This is the second time I’ve had a post scheduled and it hasn’t gone live. What gives? I am so, so excited about this weeks Feature Friday Blogger! Many of you probably know Jessica from My Time As Mom. She’s absolutely hilarious, writes helpful […]

I promised that I was going to continue Monday’s post about Christmas traditions and memories today. But, despite how PHENOMENAL my SITS Day was yesterday, last night I hit a wall (not literally). I came down off my SITS high, read through nearly 100 amazing comments (you guys seriously rock!) and then just… fizzled out… […]

If you are visiting for the first time from SITS, then Welcome! I’m so happy to have you! Feel free to poke around a bit, get to know me and my family a bit. You’ll find my most popular posts in the sidebar and some of the things I ramble about the most in the navigation […]

As per tradition, we set up our Christmas Tree and got out our Holiday Decorations on Friday. Four boxes of Christmas lights, several hours, and a couple of hundred dollars later we have a tree decorated, a wreath on the front door and a handful of presents already wrapped and waiting for Christmas Eve. Since […]

How was your Thanksgiving? We had a “white” Thanksgiving and cold temperatures here in Kodiak. I cooked a lot of food, then ate a lot of food, and then slipped into a nice long turkey coma last night. This morning, I’m happy to have Wendy from Mama One to Three here to guest post for me as […]

How’s your week been so far? Ours has been cold. Really frigid cold. 24 degrees as the high…cold. You get it. But, what was I to expect since, you know, we live in Alaska and all. I’m excited to have Nicole from Moments That Define Life here at my Feature Friday Blogger this week! She’s another […]

Growing up in Alabama, we never got to experience a Snow Day. When we did get snow (which, anyone living in the deep south knows only happens once every 10 years or so…) it was only enough to cover the ground. Maybe an inch if we were really lucky. Snow is just not in the climate […]

I was so excited to offer my blog readers a chance to win a custom Wordprses Design last month. I had almost 150 entries and Robin from Farewell Stranger snagged the grand prize: A Custom Blog Design. She was open to pretty much anything, though she did want to keep with the blue/teal theme she’s had […]

I’m away again today! I’m visiting Jessica @ The Spitup Chronicles sharing a little motherly insight into the waiting game of parenthood. My son has been stubborn and set in his ways since the day that he was born; and there isn’t a circumstance that we’ve encountered so far that we haven’t had to wait […]
