This hanging baskets post was written by me and brought to you by Avant Garden. All opinions are mine. I have always loved hanging baskets because they add beauty and color where ever you need them, without much work! I have a hard time with watering though…I either water too much or not enough. I …
Daddy, Captain Fussybuckets, D, and I are happy to announce that Baby #3 is due in November! The boys are excited, as are we, to add to our family. Stay tuned for more info on Baby #3! (And if you have any brilliant suggestions as what we should call Baby D now, let me know! …
A friend recently shared a great post from I am totally *that* mom. blog on Facebook. The writer talks to parents who take their young children to church, and tells them (us) how she understands that it’s hard, but it’s so worth it.
