Review: Tide Coldwater #tide #washcold

TideColdwaterThumb

With 3 active kids in the house, we generate quite a bit of laundry every week. And over the years I’ve tried a few different detergents to see what works the best for us. What I keep coming back to time and again though is the fact that I tend to stick with brands that [...]

Tessa and tennis balls

TessaTennisBallThumb

Last year, we adopted a new puppy – something our girls (especially our dog-crazy middle daughter) had been wanting (and begging for) for years. We waited until the girls were old enough to really enjoy the experience of raising a puppy – and yes, until they were able to help out with the work too. [...]

She’s six!

ShesSixThumb

Saturday was a very special day in our house – my youngest daughter turned six years old. Six! As her dad pointed out, she’s now more than one whole hand old – and she’s thrilled about that. For a little girl who constantly seems to be trying to catch up to her big sisters, every [...]

Photo Story Friday – Snowmen

PSF-SnowmenThumb

I used to participate in this a while ago on my other site, so thought I’d give it a try over here.
Since we haven’t had much snow yet this winter, the kids have really tried to make the best of it when they can. Last weekend we went from the extreme of being [...]

Hacked

Well, after 4+ years of blogging, I have now had my first experience with having my sites (all 3 of them) hacked. Although it turned out ok (obviously since you’re reading this), it still was very scary for a little while there, to think that all of my hard work might be in jeopardy.

Sometimes you win, and sometimes…

When I remember back to the first few cheerleading competitions that my middle daughter was in, I think of how important it was to her about whether her team not only did well, but placed first, second or third (the only teams to receive ribbons as well as the trophy everyone who participates automatically gets).

The second-best day of her life

SecondBestDayThumb

Tonight, while we were driving in the van, my 9-year-old daughter made a comment that’s stayed with me for the rest of the day. She proudly announced that today was the ‘second most favorite day of my life!’. Curious, we asked her why it was only the second-best – to that, she responded that the [...]

From bare feet to boots – 24 hours in Michigan

BarefootThumb

It’s a well-known fact around here that if you don’t like the weather, just wait 5 minutes, because it’s bound to change. But I don’t think I can remember a time when that’s been quite so aptly demonstrated as is happening this week.
All week it’s been unseasonably warm and sunny, to the point where our [...]
