A few weeks ago, my friend Brittany reached out to some bloggers about being part of a bandaid drive for Noah's Bandaid Project. Most Kansas Citians know who Noah was because of his passion for the Royals...but for those outside of the area, this video tells you a little more about his sweet little soul and the bandaid project he started. å This video left me in a puddle of tears--but also in complete awe of this little boy. I'm just blown away by how much Noah accomplished, and how many lives ...
Pure (Man)happiness
The day we'd been waiting for (since football season ended last year), finally came last Saturday...the home opener in Manhattan! I think our little college town is pretty amazing all of the time, but it has an extra bit of magic on game days. I'm so glad our kids get to experience it now! We got into town on Friday night, just in time for Purple Power Play at the park. The kids jumped in bounce houses, got their faces painted, and ate their weight in purple kettle corn... The night ...
Five Great Deals
Happy Friday, y'all! I feel like a kid on Christmas morning today because we're heading to the wonderful world of Manhappiness (aka Manhattan, KS) this afternoon! Game weekend is finally here!!! Whilst we're all really excited for Gameday, I wanted to share a few great steals I've come across lately! I love a good deal and I often claim coupons from Raise.com if I'm shopping online on websites like eBay (check this out if you love an online steal too!). However, I love to tell other people ...
Oh Girl…
After Nash was born and people started asking, "Do you guys want more kids?" (because we're human and that's what we do!), I always said yes, God willing...and that maybe we'd even be surprised by the gender since we already had one of each. Then I got pregnant and realized there's no way I could ever do that. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE it when other people don't find out, and I think it must be the most incredible surprise ever...but I just can't. I'm a planner. And if I can't plan, I stress. ...
FriYAY!
Hello Friday! Even though it's been a short week, it's been kind of a doozy. Anyone else feel that way?! Apparently school hangovers are a real thing...or there was a full moon...because, wowza...my kids have been nuts. But hey, it's Friday! Arden is starting dance, we're meeting some friends for CFA. Life is good :) one. As Arden and I were chatting before bed last night, Chris came in and said there was an awesome rainbow that we needed to see outside. I kind of gave him a look like "she ...
The Essential Oils Deets
You guys. The sweet comments and emails I've received since we shared our news last week have brought tears to my eyes several times. So many words of encouragement and congratulations--but also lots of notes from friends who are struggling, yet found some hope in our little miracle. That is what I was praying for more than anything when I hit "publish". A lot of you have asked for details on the essential oils I used--and I decided it might be good to share it on here too in ...
