Tonight was one of those beautiful summer nights that I wanted to cling to and never let go of. These small moments in my children’s lives that I hope they’ll remember for always and talk about long after I am gone.
I mowed the grass today while they napped. I convinced myself that if I got [...]
I’ve been really excited lately because we’ve put an extra push into expanding the soap business. I’ve been D R E A M I N G of the day that Brent came home from work and said he was ready to renovate the garage into a super cool Soap Studio for me. And it happened [...]
Do you frequently visit the blogs of people you know you don’t agree with, just so you can get really steamed and leave sassy comments?

I’ve been reading this bit on the Idle Parent, and it sounds like a lot of hooey to me. (Google it, I won’t waste space here to cover the details. Suffice it to say, it is exactly what it sounds like… Whatever is natural is good, and children should be left to themselves to become what they [...]
Baby tomatoes popping out everywhere.

Brent normally works on Saturdays, and today was no exception. He took off before breakfast and the kids and I began our first chore of the day after a quick meal of Blueberry Muffins and scrambled eggs.
