Adventures of Alli – Peruvian Donkey
Happy Day my friends! Well as usual I've been running around like a crazy person getting ready for our trip to the Midwest this coming weekend. I know... FUN!!! I can't wait!

5 Make Your Own Sprinkler Fun For Kids
Is there really anything better on a hot muggy day than getting your bathing suit on and running through the sprinklers all afternoon? Well maybe laying in the wet grass with a popsicle after a fun afternoon of sprinkler shenanigans is equally as fun! Summer has taken hold of us here in the South West and we are embracing it. While walking through the grocery store the other...
Chalkboard Plant Stakes {DIY}
It should be no surprise that with the number of times I've talked about starting a garden that I decided that before I actually plant the vegetables, I needed to make sure the garden had its proper garden bling,decor, pizzazz!!! I've been suffering from a love affair lately with shims. Kind of sad, I know... but it's definitely due to the fact that you get a...
Holding my breath
Ahh, what a weekend... and realistically, I could very much extend that statement into a "what a week" or even, "what a month." Truth be told, the last month has been kind of nutty around here. Right after I came home from Bloggy Boot Camp in Scottsdale, my site went under construction. It took a few weeks to launch and now has taken a few...
Deck Demolition – Day 1
What a happy happy day it is when an eye sore finally sees its demise! DNH Dad and I moved in our house, almost 7 years ago now, and we were as giddy as most first time home buyer!

Fur, Buckees, and Invisalign
This post is brought to you by Invisalign Just the other day I was thinking about this little girl. No, I wasn't thinking what a fabulous fur coat DNH Mom has on, oh circa 1985, but more specifically I was thinking about those sweet BUCKEE teeth! They are pretty awesome aren't they? They could have used some braces, that's for sure. I've actually been thinking...
