Where to begin? Now that I'm finally catching my breath a bit, it seemed like a good time to reflect on 2016 before turning the page to the new year... and I'm READY to turn the page! 2016 was the year of change around here... One of the biggest was opening our preschool after quite the journey. This time last year I was in the midst of sharing our Legacy Story here on the blog. But within a month or so, when Legacy was registering … [Read more...]
Life Lately…
September 12, 2016 by · 3 Comments
Friends!! It's been FOREVER since I posted! This weekend was my first to truly catch my breath in quite a few weeks and I am so happy to be back and bringing you up to speed on life lately. It's been a whirlwind! But yesterday I took in some of the ceremonies and TV shows reflecting on September 11th... it's hard to believe that 15 years have passed since that terrible day. And I still heard stories I have never heard before -- of individual … [Read more...]
Five on Friday
July 15, 2016 by · 1 Comment
Good Friday morning, friends. First of all, I am once again heartbroken by a terrorist massacre... how many of these must we see? My thoughts and prayers are with the people of France today. I can't even begin to comment further, but I know you share my grief over this latest attack. I intended to finish up my porch this week among other things, but alas Legacy projects and meetings took precedence. There is soooo much cooking right now to … [Read more...]

Hello, dears! I pray you are all resting and reveling in holiday festivities with your loved ones. It's hard to believe 2015 is almost in the books! I thought this year would never end sometimes, and at other times it absolutely flew by with so much going on. Maybe you feel the same? Either way, I'm looking forward to all that 2016 holds and am spending these last days of 2015 reflecting, praying over the days to come, and contemplating my … [Read more...]

Well, here we are! The last day of August... how did that happen?? This was a summer of sporadic posting, some story-telling, and a few technical issues here on the blog that I'm still trying to figure out. May be time to call in a professional! #ugh Today I'm going to recap my posts from July and August... just in case you missed something! I shared my favorite Fourth of July projects and recipes from years past, along with this … [Read more...]
Director’s Office Makeover {a Labor of Love}
September 4, 2014 by · 4 Comments
I can't believe it's September, can you? It feels like we've already been in school forever, but I'm never quite ready to give up summer. Plus we inevitably have a heat wave in September that has you bemoaning the fact that the neighborhood pool is closed. It's one of those weird weather months around here so I'm leery to welcome fall just yet. Thank you so much for your words of encouragement and love for us and my stepson. It was … [Read more...]
In Case You Missed It x2 (April and May)
June 2, 2014 by · 1 Comment
Y'all I'm so far behind, I never recapped April! And since my feed was doing wonky things in late April/early May, I figured it warranted a quick recap of both months! I finally was able to regroup a bit after the crowd of young adults left on Saturday... things will be a tad quieter here now, so I've been working on some new DIY ideas and gathering supplies for a couple of home projects (yay summertime!). But before we embark on June, let's … [Read more...]
Preschool Moms Tea… the “Decor”
May 15, 2014 by · 2 Comments
Hi friends! We're in the midst of that frenetic slide into the end of the school year, both at home and work. All good, but how I manage to forget the craziness from year to year is beyond me. :-) Anyhoo, I thought I'd share some sweet pics from the "decor" of our Moms' Tea last week... such a wonderful celebration of motherhood and my preschool moms are always -- somehow -- the absolute BEST. The "books" on the tables … [Read more...]
A Little Happy for Your Friday
May 9, 2014 by · 2 Comments
Confession: This week has kicked me in the booty. Lots of good mixed in with the not-so-good/stressful, but just A-LOT. I know you know how I feel... it's May, afterall. And as a mom AND a teacher, I get it going and coming. On Monday, I'll share some pics of what my house looks like right now. I have to put the blinders on to walk out the door and so I will, and I will try not to think about the disarray until I walk back in the door. … [Read more...]
Easy Leprechaun Pie Treat
March 16, 2014 by · 2 Comments
Hi friends! I don't normally pop in over the weekend, but I wanted to share this fun St Patrick's Day treat today so you'd have time to whip it up for tomorrow's festivities! I stumbled across this little gem on Oopsey Daisy blog three years ago and I've whipped it up for my preschoolers to enjoy every year since then. If you're not familiar with Alison's blog, she's got tons of kid-friendly activities and easy DIYs. She's not posted in quite … [Read more...]
