Memorial Day Thanks
All weekend we've been prepping and living out our first beach weekend of the year. We've bar-b-qued oceanside and walked into town for ice-cream. We've lazed around and we've just plain enjoyed our days. But through all of it, the true reason for these holidays is never far from my mind. Today especially I'm mindful of and ever-thankful for the men and women who make these lazy days possible. The men and women who have given their lives for my freedom. I wish they could know I'm grateful for their sacrifice and that of their families every day-not just today. For those that I know and those that I don't who are still here, waking up every day with the intention of doing the work to maintain our freedom, I thank you too. Know that you're on my mind and that my gratitude is present the other 364 days of the year as well.

I’d rather learn about what to do with a baby after it comes!” I’ve heard these things a lot since I started my journey as a childbirth educator and while I do offer Baby Basics classes and ongoing support [...]
DS Game Review

There just isn’t much out there that this particular eight year old girl is interested in. Thankfully, she was thrilled with [...]
That Time of Year
Oh man, to look at my calendar these days is to risk eye damage. There is so much squeezed into each little block of days it’s mind-blowing. Three kids in two schools on two different sports teams, one school play and an end to a preschool career is a lot. Then there is the fact [...]
What Are You Thankful For?
Two years ago, I started a “Grateful” week on The Traveling Circus blog. I used every day leading up to Thanksgiving to write about something I was grateful for. This year I wanted to do the whole month of November. I’m so very grateful for so many things I figured why only talk about it [...]
Purex Crystals Review and Giveaway
One of the roles I’ve taken on recently is that of Purex Insider. What the heck is that you ask? It basically means I get a sneak peak at new products and innovations from Purex. I know I tout all natural products but when we were dead broke, some of these products were beyond our [...]
