Fall Snacks, Music Ramblings, & Pumpkin Squash Muffins Recipe
This past May, our current music teachers told us that they were going to quit teaching lessons. They had come to us for almost two years and were an answer to prayer as I had been almost 9 months pregnant with #5 and to the point where I needed someone to commit to coming into our home to teach piano, violin, and guitar, or else we needed to quit. So we were sad to see this chapter close and were, once again, on the hunt. Thankfully, my husband's cousin mentioned a name in passing and I decided Read more [...]
Burlap Wall Art Review & Giveaway (10/22)
Sending a big thank you to Over the Moon Bridal for sending us a piece of beautiful Burlap Wall Art for review!
We bought our house about two years ago. Decorating our home is a work in progress to this day. I tend to be a minimalist. It's a trait my mom instilled in me.

Sharing a bedroom is a childhood staple in many homes and I grew up sharing with my sister.

When it's storming and scary, nobody wants to be sleeping alone! Now that I'm a mom, I actually love the fact that our kids share bedrooms. We have a "girls room" and a "boys room". But, with five of our own kiddos and a foster baby in the home, we Read more [...]
Handstand Kitchen ~ Cooking With Kids + Discount & Giveaway (US) 10/14
Making fun memories with our kids is really important to us. So we strive to set the unimportant things in life aside from time to time and play a game, go on a walk, play in the sandbox, or some other fun activity. Since I particularly enjoy cooking and baking, that is one of my go-to areas to also include the kids. From the time they can walk, they tend to love joining me up at the island stirring, dumping, and pouring. As they get older and their skill levels increase, I even encourage Read more [...]
