  Happy Hump Day! Today’s What’s Up Wednesday post is a bit brief compared to my previous ones, but I didn’t want to miss this post as I did miss March’s What’s Up Wednesday link-up.       In case you’re somewhat new to the…

  After a whirlwind couple of weeks, I am absolutely ready for this weekend.  I’ve been a little MIA lately because I’ve been so busy, so I’m ready to play a bit of catch up with you in this Friday Favorites post. In case you’re…

   Summer is just around the corner and, if you’re like me, you’re likely overwhelmed by the number of camps out there and which ones your kids will enjoy.  Plus, I often find out about a camp that sounds amazing and then eventually realize that…

  Friday is here!  I don’t know about you but this week seemed to fly by for me.  I was super busy at work, the kids had several activities, and we spent several days doing laundry from our trip last week.  Whew … it was…

  Happy Wednesday everyone!   These past few weeks have been quite the whirlwind and I didn’t have a post planned for today until I noticed it was What’s Up Wednesday on the calendar.  I LOVE What’s Up Wednesday posts so I decided to quickly…
