Ditch The Scrapbook, Shadow Box Your Child's Birth Story It’s true what almost everyone says … “It’s the little things.” I kept lots of little things from my births with my sons. From flowers to arm bands to the front page of the newspaper from the day that he was born and more. My twins were born in 2019, and I am still yet to shadow box their stuff (mom fail, but I’ll get to it!). My oldest son was born in 2017, and this is his shadow box that I created a few years ago. Scrapbooks are fun to make, but the memories get hidden unless you pull out the book to look at. Here is what I put inside my son's...
A Budget-Friendly Birthday They Won't Forget There are a couple of times a year that my family has clusters of birthdays and holidays stacked together. For me, it’s May and June when we have kids’ birthdays, Mother’s Day, Father's Day, grandparents’ birthdays and even our wedding anniversary.

Date Night or Girls Night or Just a Fun Time We recently went to Red Stick Spice Co. for a group cooking class. We booked this class in the summer the day after the cooking class schedule debuted for the fall because these cooking classes book up FAST! Our class was on a Tuesday night, however, their test kitchen offers weekday afternoon classes that usually have openings. I like to think I am comfortable in the kitchen.
