The air has been turning colder here in Minnesota but I'm so thankful for the days when the sun still shines bright.  As I sit here today and watch the leaves swirling down in the Fall breeze, I can't help but think about how fast this year has gone.  Just about two weeks ago, the kids and I went through the closets and packed or gave away all the clothes that they outgrew as well as most of their summer items.  So now it's time to don the long sleeves, pants, and sweaters.  I even picked up Read more [...]

Moms tend to put themselves last a lot.  We rarely get to sit down and eat a hot meal and if we actually do get to sit down, it's only a matter of minutes before someone needs something that requires mom to get up.  I'm now a part of a local MOPS group and part of what they stress there is that we really need to also take care of ourselves too and not just focus on everyone else.  So, for myself, part of that is taking shape in making sure that I am prepared for the change in seasons before it Read more [...]

For the past two weeks, I've been wanting to surprise our kiddos with a trip to the local zoo.  But wouldn't you know, it's either been raining, too windy, or we have had plans.  Today, though, showed promise so after everyone was up, we got packed up to head out on our mini fun day at the zoo.  As the kids got their shoes and sweatshirts on, I helped our youngest two into their Freshly Picked Moccasins! Sending a big thank you to Freshly Picked for these GORGEOUS Fall colored moccs! With Summer Read more [...]

Even though it's been studied and proven that barefoot is best, it's just a fact of life that most people need to wear shoes.  There are exceptions in some countries where there just aren't any, but here in the US, it's a necessity.  Although, about 8 years ago this Winter when we were up buying some eggs, honey, and butter from an Amish family, the kids were actually running around and "skating" on some ice bare foot!  I'm far too wimpy to ever attempt such a feat.  So for our family, I just Read more [...]

While most schools are now in session, the crazy back to school season can be so stressful that some things just have to get put on the back burner.  While backpacks, notebooks, folders, markers, pens, and pencils are a necessity for that very first day, one things that many families may be in the market for this month still is a great pair of shoes to complete the 2016-2017 school year.  Thankfully, the highly trusted shoe brand, Stride Rite, is here to help.  They've been creating shoes built Read more [...]
