Raising Children to Weather the Storm
It was a busy 4th of July weekend filled with food, parade fun, and water play. For the most part, I’ve had holidays off these past few years. But now that I’m not working full-time, I have a bit more time and energy. Needless to say, our weekend was pretty jam packed. Just wanted to…
After last weekend’s minor set back, we decided to give holiday photos another shot. This time we got an early start. Young O has been a bit cranky lately, so being strategic in how we planned for the day was essential. Rather than have the kids nap before our shoot, we decided to get them camera…

How We Celebrated Father’s Day Even though Baby O had no idea what was going on, there’s no denying the…
Every year we struggle to find Father’s Day gift ideas. This time around Princess wanted to make an awesome Father’s Day card her Dad will remember forever. Store bought cards are great, but she wanted to add a bit more of a personal touch. Besides, it was a great way to keep her busy. She loves…
