In the past two weeks, Gemma has graduated Kindergarten, turned 6 years old, and lost her first tooth. It’s been a busy and exciting time for her, and I love watching her giggle and smile with joy through it all:) The week before her birthday,…
My kids are big fans of vibrant, unnatural hair colors, but they aren’t allowed to have them while in school. We just tried hair chalking for the first time this week, and it was so much fun! Hair chalking is when you temporarily “color” your…
Last week was my birthday and, as always, it was a most special day. The kids all had school, so I slept in as late as I could and awoke to beautiful decorations, a delish breakfast with birthday candles, and an iPhone 5. Yes, my…
This Tuesday, May 28th, the new Eisley album Currents will be released. Last night they gave a preview of the album on Pandora, and I’ve definitely been listening. I’ve mentioned Eisley several times before, and I’m pretty excited about new music from them. Currents is…
