This is an updated post from January 2012. I wanted to share it again, because after using Evernote to organize recipes for the last few months, I've learned a few new tricks! Plus I think my new friends from the William Morris Project could really benefit from this...
Hello all my two- and four-legged friends! I hope you're having a great week and had a truly wonderful Easter (and got to search out some yummy goodies!) One of our neighbors just recently got a new puppy to replace a Boxer in his fur family that he had to lead to the...
About a year ago, I hosted the Made in Germany giveaway here in NOH. It was a pretty huge event with tons of cool prizes, and one of them was from the German firm, kiddy, which makes the car seat that saved Mack's life and some really cool strollers. So when the...

In the next couple of months, I'm going to be reviewing a few of the items we bought and used during Mackenzie's first 3 years of life. I cannot even believe that she's already that old! Hopefully, some of you who are expecting children, have young ones, or know...
Regardless of where you live, there are few things as important as good neighbors. We have been incredibly blessed to live across the street from the nicest family on the planet. They go out of their way to help others out and he's really a jack of all trades. We'll...
