Though the pictures don't show all of our busy week, this has been one of the busiest weeks we've had in a while. The week didn't have a good start to it. All four of us were sick in bed, with the stomach bug for 24 hours. It's not fun when you're sick, and especially when your kids are sick as well. Besides our tummy bug, we've been busy preparing for a baby shower that I'm hosting Saturday at my house, mourning the loss of a friend who passed away this week, making it to doctors appointments, ...
Love 41 {giveaway}
Love 41 is one of my favorite businesses. All their proceeds go towards orphans, widows, and street kids.

A New Season For Me
The new year has already brought about some pretty big changes in my life. Many of you know I co-founded Hip Homeschool Moms with a dear friend of mine, Sue. What started out as just a Facebook group, it turned into something much bigger so quickly. Definitely not something to complain about, but something we weren't expecting at all. Over the past 18 months or so, we've made some amazing friendships through Hip Homeschool Moms and have loved every minute of building a team and getting "Hip" ...
Kadydid Designs {review & giveaway}
I first heard of Kadydid Designs when I was searching through Etsy for a cute carseat cover. I thumbed through her store and fell in love with almost everything in there. I found the carseat cover that I wanted {which had the most adorable fabric ever on it} and started customizing it in my head.
