My little monkey is asking to have a super hero birthday party this year. I want it to be really fun, but don’t want to spend a ton of money. I decided to make the kids their own super hero masks and wrist bands to use during the party and keep as party favors. I […]

It’s Thanksgiving time and I have a lot to be thankful for. Mainly, my three little monkeys that constantly amuse me (did I mention my hubby is a pretty good catch also?!). I feel like Thanksgiving is often a rushed holiday… its thrown in there after the huge excitement of Halloween and rushed through so […]

With three boys (6yrs, 3yrs, and 2yrs old) I am not often surprised.

We took the kids to a Trunk or Treat party at our church last night. It was so much fun! The car parked next to us had a life size skeleton with motion sensors. If someone walked close to it, the skeleton would play music and dance. To say my barely two year old was […]

When I asked my hubby what memories makes him think of family, in particular his mom, he told me he remembers how his house smelled of yummy food cooking when he came home from basketball practice or from a friends house. For some reason, the smell of delicious food baking gives us that warm comfort […]

I love crepes! Growing up crepes were always a unique passion my Dad and I shared… I say unique because when you are one of seven children in your family having something that is just yours is REALLY hard to come by. Crepes have always been a traditional food for me… My Dad is the […]
