Ready for a boring story about my basement? A few years ago I was on the hunt for a simple citrus juicer. I reached out to my mom about their old juicer they had since replaced with something new. They could no longer locate the older juicer so they offered me a manual juicer that…Continue Reading “When Life Gives you a Lemon Juicer”
So here we are. My third baby’s first birthday party. What feelings do I have about this? Well, all of them. The whirlwind of motherhood is spinning exponentially faster with each new addition.

Miles lost his first (and soon after, his second) tooth…Continue Reading “The Mother of all Milestones”
In late October we visited Schaake’s Pumpkin Patch near Lawrence, KS. I love their selection of pumpkins, which includes many unique colors and patterns.

When the hubby and I took our babymoon to Colorado in October I let myself skip a couple updates. I became addicted to being a slacker and let holidays and low-iron laziness rule.
