Four Under Four
I have been sick for what feels like forever. I had that terrible virus that was going around town. I got it not only once but twice.

The Aftermath
In the wake of illness and fatigue, the vacation laundry still needs to be done. I spent the last two days sleeping during nap time, but today, the cleaning beckoned.

Christmas on my Mind
I know I’m WAY too early, but I’m already really excited about Christmas. And it’s not because of pumpkin spice. I mean, I LOVE pumpkin everything, but it can be hard to find gluten-free options that are yummy. I’m excited because I feel like the girls are finally getting old enough to do fun activitiesContinue reading “Christmas on my Mind”
ASK JACQUE: Neighbors, Bridesmaids, & Bath Time
The neighbor who never leaves So, I have this neighbor who stops by unannounced for at least an hour, and it’s often during the worst times. We’ll be in the middle of dinner, or my kids will be screaming. It doesn’t seem to matter how many times I try to say, “Ok I have toContinue reading “ASK JACQUE: Neighbors, Bridesmaids, & Bath Time”
