What I’m loving Peach Crisp I can’t even begin to describe my love of peaches; they really are my favorite fruit. Since peaches have been in season, I’ve been buying peaches like they are going out of style. I absolutely love Shauna Niequist’s blueberry crisp recipe so I’ve used it with peaches instead. It is not your typical crisp, …
What I’m loving Shapewear I heard about Hi-Waist Shapewear from Megan on Sorta Awesome Podcast and thought it was a great idea. Like her, I often wear dresses or skirts most of the summer and I sort of miss the feeling of everything being sucked in that comes from wearing jeans (I have had 4 babies, and my stomach …
What I’m loving Our library’s Get Out & Go Program This summer our library is participating in a program to get families more active. They gave out booklets that listed many local parks and hiking trails. Each location has marker posts with unique etchings for the kids to rub on a rubbing sheet. The rubbings are then submitted for a …
I often say I feel like such a boy’s mom. While my oldest is a girl, the 3 boys that follow her regularly throw our house into chaos. Boys are definitely a whole different ball game. Recently, Carlos started reading my book on raising boys and as he read me quotes for the past few …

What I am loving Best Ever Chocolate Oatmeal No-bake Bars My husband found a recipe for Chocolate Oatmeal No-bake Bars that, to be honest, I thought I wouldn’t like (chocolate is not usually my thing). I made them for him and after a few days of everyone in the house raving about the bars, I …
What I am loving $1-credit for Kindle books I order a lot of stuff from Amazon. If there is something we need, I will almost always look for it on Amazon before driving to a store. It is usually similar in price or cheaper than most stores and it gets delivered to my house. What is …
What I am loving GoNoodle I mentioned this on my Facebook page recently, but if you missed it, it is worth mentioning again. GoNoodle is a free site that has tons of active videos for kids — silly action songs, kid Zumba, and more. My kids LOVE this site and I love the extra energy they …
It is hard to believe it is the end of December already! So many things have gone on but these are some of my favorites. Personality info I should preface this by saying I love learning about personality types. I find it fascinating. I also love the Enneagram, but that is a conversation for another …
