Summer for me has now officially ended. (Insert big sigh). Back to school time has begun and Matthew headed off this morning for his first day of grade one. Getting up and ready in the morning is not my strong suit and it is definitely not Matthew's either. This morning chaos is pretty much the thing I dread most about back to school. Amazingly enough, we did manage to get ready in time for school and had time for our traditional back to school pictures on the porch. I made a Back to School ...

Organization Craze!!
I can't believe Back to School is already just around the corner! I'm not really looking forward to the morning craziness of getting the kids up and ready and still trying to make it to work on time. Mornings are so not my specialty. Matthew will be heading to grade 1 and Connor will be trucking off to his first year of preschool. Yikes! It always amazes me how fast time goes. I will definitely miss having Matthew around on my afternoons off and I know Connor will miss his best play buddy. ... Read More about Organization Craze!!
Sno Cone Fun
On my weekend cleaning spree, I came across an ice shaver that I purchased from a Pampered Chef party about 10 years ago. Why I picked an ice shaver I don't know. It has probably been used a total of 2 times over the course of the 10 years. On a side note, do you know what other stupid purchase I made? An ice cream sandwich maker. Sounds good I know. But, really, do you need a $25 gadget to smush some ice cream between 2 cookies??? Funny thing is, I think my Mom bought one of these too!Okay, ... Read More about Sno Cone Fun
