The girls are off of school, but Scott is still working. We try to get those last holiday chores finished, the decorating done, food prep accomplished...it often feels like we just don't have our act together. The one thing that we always manage to do as a ... Read More

Holly Bow Minnie Mouse Hoodies
Scott and I are huge Disney fans. As in, as much as we love to travel, we find ourselves going to Disney parks over and over. Disneyland is our favorite, and when we lived in New Zealand, we stopped over every time we traveled to and from the States. After all, if you have to go through Los Angeles, it makes sense, right?! We've been looking forward to taking the girls to Disneyland for a long time and decided to do it at Christmas. It's the one season we hadn't experienced yet. When we ... Read More
Celestial Inspired Vinyl Tote
**This post contains sponsored sponsored content and affiliate links. All opinions are my own.** I've been fascinated by the recent Pluto photos that we've been able to see. I've always loved space.

Kiwi Curried Egg Salad
I looooove egg salad season. For those who don't know, it starts at Easter and ends when it gets cold out again. ;) When we lived in New Zealand, egg salad season was year-round.

This egg salad is really easy to make. You will need: 6 hard boiled eggs, peeled 1/2 tsp curry powder a few ... Read More
New Zealand Musings
This past weekend we went to the USA Eagles v New Zealand All Blacks rugby game. Scott introduced me to rugby early in our relationship and I fell in love with the game instantly. I'm lucky to have had my first experiences of the game with the All Blacks and they've been my team ever since. Scott rarely misses a game, even if it means he's getting up at 2am to watch them play. There's something really special about watching them play. As you know, Scott's a Kiwi. The girls all have dual ... Read More
The Blue Lady: Free Photograph Printable
I always look at this photograph and imagine an epic novel, full of romance, twists, and Doctor Who saving the day. What could her story possibly be? The Blue Lady is one of my favorite photographs, and perfect for some easy spooky Halloween decor. Click on the image, download the larger photo, and print out. Scott took this photo in New Zealand. I wish I had an uber impressive story to go with it, but in all honesty, he took it at a garden center while we were shopping for plants for the ... Read More
