To Produce, Or Not To Produce. #mondaylisticles

Just Jennifer picked this week’s Monday Listicles topic, and I’m afraid I might have to make two lists.Let me explain…Jennifer wrote: “I would love for everyone to write 10 reasons why you do or do not want more children!”Well. This is a good topic, but not one that I really […]

Cookie Decorating #pinterestchallenge

A couple of weeks ago, I went to my first ever blogger event at Sweet! Baking Supply (717 Massachuetts, Lawrence, KS).Seriously, you guys. If you live in the area and even just LIKE to go in the kitchen, you have to check it out. Just like the website, the store is […]

Ready To Go #iPPP

Most days, I’m lucky enough to have one of my parents come over in the morning while I drop the big two off at school, and again when I pick up Ivy from preschool three hours later.Occasionally, though, I’m on my own (how dare they have a life?!).Last Friday was […]

Heat #iPPP

His cries jerk me awake, and I’m startled. I bring him in close, but he doesn’t latch on.Throwing his body back, he wails and pushes away from me. I try my best to soothe him, keep him from waking everyone else, but he doesn’t calm down.I stand up, hugging him […]
