Eight years old! It’s hard to believe that Grace is eight! I’ve always heard similar things come from the mouths of moms and now it’s me saying them over and over. She has been excited to turn eight because that’s the age I begin overnight Mommy and Me days with my girls. We plan one… [continue reading]
End of Basketball Season
The end of basketball season for the girls was bitter sweet. I loved going to each of their games and cheering them on. It was so fun to see how much learned in just a few short weeks. But it was an extremely busy time too with practice and games three nights out of the… [continue reading]
Girls Day Out
As it happened one of our homeschool co-ops was canceled for the day, but the boy’s Mom’s Day Out was still on. I didn’t tell the girls what I had planned. I wanted it to be a surprise and if something had come up then no one would have been disappointed. But all went well… [continue reading]

Time for a hair cut
Grace’s hair had begun to drive me crazy! It had crossed that line in length to where she would wake up with it tangled every morning.
