Thanks for stopping by my blog! The hats I wear include wife (to a retired Army field artilleryman), mom to three super busy teens, and high school math teacher. In my “free time” I love cooking, reading, creating (mostly papercrafts), photography, travelling, and exploring the PNW with my family…you know, all the usual things!
I hope you’ll find some inspiration, entertainment, and something that makes you smile here. I look forward to hearing from you!

Wrapping Up Snow Week
Yes, I’m just like the Discovery Channel…they have Shark Week, I am finishing up Snow Week here on the blog. That was painless, right? I bet you didn’t even notice I had a theme! A few years ago at a … Continue reading

Project 365 and Project Life
So here I go, being ambitious for 2013! I’ve decided to undertake two photography/scrapbooking projects this year, instead of my usual digiscrapping of our family memories. The first, Project 365, you can read about here. It’s really quite simple: Take … Continue reading

Count Your Blessings
I hope you’re enjoying a blessed Thanksgiving with friends and family. I find myself humming “Count Your Blessings,” one of my very favorite hymns, throughout this season of gratitude. I know, it should be year-round, but I’m doing my best! … Continue reading

Climbing through the Fall
A more appropriate title would be “Scrambling,” I think. One of our favorite discoveries here in Wisconsin provides hours of hooligan entertainment, and the hubs and I always enjoy the scramble, as well. Ledge Park, in the Dodge County Parks … Continue reading

Scrapping Confession

Tales of the Butterfly Hunters
One Saturday morning a few weeks ago, we were at the thrift shop looking for a desk I could refinish for the eldest hooligan’s room. Not only did we find a perfect desk (for less than $20), the hooligans found … Continue reading

Scrapping Valentine’s Day
We love to celebrate holidays around here, but I do think Valentine’s Day, along with many other holidays, is becoming way over-commercialized. I heard on the news that the average that each American will spend for Valentine’s Day is $125 … Continue reading
