If you’re reading this you’re probably a mama like me. You’re always on the hunt for a good deal. You’re thrifty. You’re thinking ahead to winter clothes and how fast your kid’s feet will grow. Most of all, you know about Just Between Friends. It’s just around the corner! But, what you don’t know is […]
Did you all get a chance to read Gretchen and Simon’s story yesterday? Today, Gretchen is back with the real meat of childhood cancer awareness — what you and I can both do to make a difference. I read a Facebook post the other day of a mama who’s son is also going through treatment. […]
Hey there friends. I hope the post title didn’t scare you off or make you click away. Let me explain the back story of how this guest post came to be and then I’ll let you read on … It’s important. Really important. After I posted about Max’s surgery and then the worry of hemihypertrophy […]
One of my favorite things to read on other blogs is a highlight of popular posts. For awhile I’ve highlighted mine in the {retired} lil’ “Best Of” tab that used to be up top. So, I thought I’d post them today. Some of these posts were barely read and others were most popular (when it […]
August flew by. It just flew. Max’s birthday and then surgery really filled up the days and I never got around to sharing about his birthday celebration! On his actual birthday we spent the morning at the market, then rode the bus around downtown (Jemma’s activity of choice for the day) and then met Pops […]

It stores all our cloth napkins, tablecloths, candles and Jemma’s playdough – you know, all the important stuff in life. Pop over and check it out! And if it […]
This evening I sat down and began to think through my Fall. I emailed a “calendar of events” to my mom and Dominic so we’d all be on the same page about the craziness that’s coming up. Because it’s busy ya’ll. I’m gonna have to take it one day at a time, that’s for sure. […]

As of August 24th, that’s how long I’ve been married! Thanks honey for putting up with all my crazy for so long :) I […]
Here’s Part One and Part Two. A week ago Max became cast free – yippee! Truly, we were in a good groove with cast life. Max adjusted quickly and figured out crawling and walking just fine with his new accessory. He didn’t seem to itch or get too hot and since it was […]
