Last week, I wrote a vastly popular (insert unladylike snort) post entitled 20 Inexpensive Summer Date Ideas. I mentioned in that post that reconnecting in relationships is the foundation …

Family Fun!! Letter “E” Day!!
This was the most awaited for letter day in home so far! My kiddos loved the movie that they had picked and were “patiently” awaiting “E” day! We had been wanting to make a bird feeder as well, so I was super excited when I found the idea via Google here. Hope you enjoy today’s …

Family Fun!! Letter “D” Day!!
Time has gotten a little bit crazy here with spring coming our way, so “D” day didn’t really have an activity or an outing associated with it. Though I had planned for one, it just didn’t happen. We still had some yummy food, family movie time and creative time as well! My kiddos even tried …
