Simple Pleasures

Each day that we are given that sees us alive and moving forward is a blessing. We are blessed just to be here, now, on this earth, living these lives. As we approach Thanksgiving, I just wanted to share some of the little joys in life that I am thankful for.

Organizing Life

This year seems to just keep slipping away from me. I can’t believe it is November already, and suddenly I went from having plenty of time till the holidays, to watching it crash land on top of me. Had a great Halloween with the boys, had three days of parties and trick or treating! The […]

Warning: Do NOT Read if Hungry or Dieting!

My Husband just had his Birthday, so I (as is becoming tradition for all family birthdays) made a fun cake for him. He asked for chocolaty caramely goodness, and here you have it:

Ordinary Beauty
