School is starting! We start tomorrow and it's been a busy weekend of gathering everything together. There is just so much to do to get ready for school. But I'm fortunate. I am fortunate, that I can provide Peyton with everything on her school supply list and a new backpack too. Not every parent is able to do this. For the past 16 years, the Office Depot Foundation has been providing children with a sackpack. To date, they helped more than 4 million children. This year there are 7 different ...
Travel with Lily & Drew
Peyton and I have a few trips planned this fall. We are going to be taking a few road trips, heading to a convention and taking a vacation in Florida. With all that traveling I need to be organized. The Lily & Drew hanging toiletry bag will be helping me stay organized this fall while on the road. Lily & Drew have designed a hanging toiletry bag in several colors that is perfect for men or women while on the road. Earlier tonight I wanted to see just what all I could fit inside the bag. ...
Holiday DIY Projects are on the Horizon
I know school has either just started or will be starting in the next week for most. But I am already starting to think about the holidays. I'm not sure if it's because we are going to be spending time in Disney World in December so my holiday time is going to be crunched or because I cannot wait to start getting my arts and crafts together. Last year I saw a bunch of craft ideas on Pinterest that I wanted to try out. But many of them needed clear glass ornaments. Try finding clear glass ...
9 Things Every Girl Needs Just In Case. PERIOD.
Think back to when you were a little girl. I think I was in 3rd or 4th grade when "the talk" happened. The boys were sent to the gym and the girls were sent to the cafeteria. The boys spent the afternoon in the gym playing basketball. We spent the afternoon learning about puberty, more specifically periods. Then we were sent home with a little purple box with a few big bulky maxi pads. And that was it. Until you actually got your period. Back in the 80s periods were not a topic of ...
An Amish Harvest
If you are looking for a book to take with you on vacation this fall or maybe to relax by the pool this Labor Day weekend you should keep reading. An Amish Harvest may look thick but it's four novellas bound together into one book. Perfect for vacation! With each story, roughly, being about 100 pages or so you can read a story from start to finish in an afternoon or even long plane ride. The fist novella is Under the Harvest Moon by Beth Wiseman. When Naomi Dienner is suddenly widowed, she ...
On the Second Day of Zoo Camp
Peyton made it through day 2! When I asked her about her day she said it was GREAT! She never got this excited about the school's day camp she was in all summer. So what did they do today?? Well, she learned about horses and penguins. Which happen to be two of her favorite animals. In the morning, farmer Bob taught her about his farm and how his horses work on the farm. Peyton was surprised the horses had to work! Farmer Bob let the kids pet Duke and told them all about Duke's responsibilities ...
