Tonight we are having an Olympics opening ceremonies party and the kids and I love decorating. So our living room has streamers and balloons in the five Olympic ring colors. The girls wanted to make Olympic shirts and i remembered all the toilet paper rolls I’ve been saving and got a great idea.
I have a lovely bench that my husband made for our entryway one Christmas as a gift to me. He used old wood because he knows I love the look of repurposed boards. I didn’t evenwant to paint or stain it, although some parts showed old paint and none of the boards were a perfect match in color.

The kids have been asking for the sensory table this week and I wanted a new idea for the theme. So I thought about how much they have been eager to learn chores and help out around the house, trust me I’m living it up cause I know it will end, and decided to use soap and water!
We recently dug up pounds and pounds of fresh potatoes from our garden. I love finding new ways of using our fresh veggies from the garden. I also love using good old tried and true recipes from my mom. Today I made a new and old recipe with my potatoes and decided to share them.

My Annabelle’s 4th birthday party went great. I’m sharing some of the decor ideas today since I try to go pretty cheap, yet fun and as big as I can. I love seeing other mom’s ideas so I can use them too, so I’m sharing to help out other moms too.

Hello friends! I’ve been traveling with my husband and our youth group for the last four weeks and had to take a break from posting but I’m back 🙂 I am so blessed to have been a part of some amazing trips with even more amazing teens this summer, and now I’m thankful to be home and slow down for a bit. The past few days have been about getting back to our regular schedule here in our home. Some of that is laundry (tons), groceries, cleaning (how does a house get so dirty with no one in it?! ), harvesting from the garden, preparing and freezing our veggies, playing and laughing together as a family.
One thing I had to do was make more chocolate syrup, I don’t know about your house but ours has three kids four and under and we can go through some chocolate syrup!
While in Texas last week the kids and I made glitter goo. It was easy and fun so I thought I would share on here.
My Crazy Blessed Life!
