The Zenspirations Patterned Monograms Video Tutorial leads you into an inspirational world of pen strokes, tangles, and doodles. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this video. Even after you get the hang of it, watching Joanne’s pen float on the paper makes me envious! I’m not as smooth and professional to watch […]

I had all of these intentions to add photos and descriptions, post about our day.. And then Kaitlynn cried because she misses home.. I dropped everything to make her a photo collage to hang by her bed.. I’m done but exhausted.. I miss home too and when she cries it just drains me.. Goodnight all […]
After hiding inside all day to avoid the crazy Black Friday shoppers, we finally had to leave! We went into Anacortes and decided to give Pier 61 restaurant a chance. HIGH priced little place lol we shared a meal! It was decent food, but not something I’d want to go do ever again due to […]

This t-shirt tutorial by Christy takes a plain white t-shirt and makes it adorably different! I love this idea especially since I’m so big on wearing nothing but t-shirts! In today’s world, it seems t-shirts have become more and more mainstream. We wear them out to dinner or out to play. Since it’s so acceptable, […]

A few bar graphs worksheets I put together to help Kaitlynn better understand bar graphs. Finding worksheets online for free is no big deal, finding multiples is. We work on something over a course of time and if the worksheets are the same (not a lot of colors and graphics) she pays attention better. These […]
In 2011, Amy Chua published a book titled ‘Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother’. I have not read the book and I want to make that clear. I did, however, see the controversial article “Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior” on The Wall Street Journal when it was *all over the news* back in 2011. To […]
It seems like more and more my life is filled with these moments. That moment when you’re whole mind is full of the word ‘REALLY?’ and you can’t really get past it. Can’t think or speak or anything… just stand there with a slack jaw and stare. I thought you should hear of a few […]
