An Organized Command Center
Can you all believe summer’s coming to an end?!?! I’m not really ready for school to start up again. We have had a good summer, and an even better last few weeks together as a family and I’m just not ready to be back in the daily grind of it all! Since I have back […]
One Year Later…
It’s crazy how fast a year can go. They seem to be moving faster the older we get, too. A year ago Saturday we officially moved into our new home. It’s taken some time, but it is finally really feeling like our home. It’s been an interesting first year. When we bought the house, my […]

More Progress in the Command Center!
This past week we had some extra hands around here! My parents were in town and although my dad was supposed to “take it easy” due to some recent foot surgery, we still got some little projects done around our house while my hubby was studying for his law finals.
