Today is our sweet Katherine Elizabeth’s birthday! She is five, I can’t believe how fast it’s gone. Katie has brought so much hope and joy to my life in many ways.

So I put a birthday twist on my usual cinnamon rolls.
This year since about mid March I’ve been focused on getting healthier. I work out around 5 days a week usually in the morning or at night or both since my days are full with three kids four and under! I have been trying to eat healthier, drink more water, and take vitamins more regularly also. One thing I struggle with is chronic dehydration, I have a hard time getting myself to drink 8 glasses of water a day. Unfortunately, I love soda pop. To combat my love of flavorful drinks, yet get in more water, I began making fresh fruit infused water at home. I get more flavor than plain water, with all the benefits of the fresh fruit also, and i am much more willing to drink those 8 glasses a day… win, win, win! Continue reading “Spa Water At Home!”

But I did have a chocolate cake mix…
So this morning in an attempt to do something fun but not too messy we made these finger painting bags! They are simple, cheap and fun for the kids. Mine played with them quietly for over an hour 🙂
