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.

Yvolution ~ Y Flyer Self-Propelling Stepper Scooter {Ultimate Fun!}
These days, there is so much talk about childhood obesity, lack of nutritional food intake, and too much electronic time.

Comfy Joey Ring Sling {My Number 1 Choice!} + Free Shipping Code
With six kids ages 7 weeks through 11 years in our home, baby wearing is a necessity for me. This becomes even more true when away from our home but I also wear our little ones around the house and yard too.

My Comfy Joey Ring Sling.
