Grace turned 8 last year, and we celebrated with an adorable and affordable owl birthday party. (I am a little behind on sharing our birthday party fun here on the blog.) Birthday parties in our house are always land somewhere in between “Pinterest Perfect” and “Minimalist Fun.” I want our parties to have fun decorations, but I don’t want them to take a lot of time or cost a lot of money. This party definitely took more work than other parties I have put together. There were a few time consuming decorations that I made, but they were not hard to create. They just required some time. Thankfully, the decorations were still very affordable. … [Read more...]

Outside The Box Chore List Ideas {free printable}
I used to feel guilty because my kids don't have a lot of daily chores. Then I started making chore lists for the kids on Saturdays like my mom used to do. Saturday chore lists are magical. Grace and Noah have fully embraced them, and I have learned (once again) that I need to find systems that work for me rather than copying what others do. Of course there are things that need to be done more often than once a week. Making Saturday chore lists for my kids does not mean that they aren't helpful throughout the week, but the Saturdays we make an extra effort to get some things done. The key to success with my Saturday chore lists … [Read more...]

A Day in the Life of… 2018
Every year on January 18th I take one picture every hour from the moment I wake up until I go to bed that night. I end up taking pictures of the ordinary – supper prep, cranky kids, trips the library, a cup of coffee, my computer screen. These ordinary pictures are actually quite extraordinary. They are my everyday. They are my here and my now. They are a day in my life. This year is special because it is my first year with Isaac. Last year's "A Day in the Life" was on my due date! Isaac was born a week later. I am thankful to have Isaac with us this year to participate in the fun. A Day in the Life of Rebekah - January 18, … [Read more...]
Is My Blog Dying???
Year end reviews have always been popular in the blogging world. It has been years since I've shared a collection of my most popular posts from the year, so yesterday I sat down to look at the numbers. I pulled up all of the traffic my blog received in 2017, and what I found really surprised me. My most popular blog posts for the year were all from 2014. This isn't actually the surprising part since my most popular blog post of all time (which continues to be the most popular almost daily) was published in 2014. In fact, 2014 was a pretty epic year for my blog. That was also the year that I wrote the popular posts: I'm Scared to Have 2 … [Read more...]
