Oh The Scrappiness – A New CT

I want to interrupt this week’s “Ready for School” festivities for just a moment!  Oh, but first, while we’re on the subject, remember to take loads of lovely photos of your precious ones going back…or getting ready to go back to school.  Whether you homeschool, have your kids in private school or in public school, [...]

Elmer’s Glue Crew Giveaway

Who hasn’t grown up with Elmer’s Glue? Those little white school glue bottles are totally a trademark of all things back to school. Sure, their label may have changed (but only slightly) over the years, but it’s still the must-have and go-to product for back to school. Seriously moms, tell me it’s something you don’t [...]

Box Tops for Education Giveaway

One of the classic fundraisers for school has to be Box Tops for Education.  These unique little rectangles can be found on products throughout your local grocery store, just clip them and send them to your child’s school to add to their Box Tops collection! This year if you visit Box Tops for Education’s website, [...]

Life Lessons From the Game of Operation

Mornings are an interesting adventure for us.  When we only had a couple of children we could casually get up on the weekend and know that if, on the off chance, the boys were already up, the house would not be destroyed and they would be peacefully watching cartoons. Getting up before them was definitely [...]

The Weekly Scrap – Stores to Check Out

I think I learned about digital scrapbooking in one of the most unusual ways possible…one of the owners of Faith Sisters applied to be added to our Blogroll at 5 Minutes for Faith.  After that I created a couple of pages here and there (not my best work folks), but mostly I hovered and continued [...]

Back To School Giveaway Week

I have had many requests to review products that are perfect for back to school.

McAfee Family Protection

When you’re looking to protect your children from the lurking “evils” online, there are definitely a few programs available to you, but few are from names as well known as McAfee.  Since they have been offering top notch virus protection for many years, offering many other types of protection is just a natural thing for [...]

Scrap Happy – 2

Well, it’s week two for the Scrap Star challenge at Gotta Pixel and to be honest, this week was even more difficult for me.  The strangest part is that I adore doing white space layouts.  Yes, it’s kind of a newer thing for me to do, but I’ve been having a lot of fun with [...]

Oh the Intelligence – A Question for Consumers!

My mother has decided that the twins are in need of some serious intellectual stimulation.  I agree, but putting 3 year old twins into preschool isn’t an option…there is no discount until the year before they go to kindergarten.  Add to that the extra expense of homeschooling our oldest son this year and…well…yeah, it’s just [...]
