Love for Ruby

The thing I love most about the blogging is the sense of community. There are so many different women that I interact with on a daily basis and perhaps have not met in real life, but I still consider them my friends......some of my dearest friends. Today I need your help. My friend Christie from the blog 'A Lemon Squeezy Home' is at the hospital this morning with her beautiful six month old daughter, Ruby Jane, where Ruby is undergoing open heart surgery.

Michael’s Recollection Calendar Kit Review

This post is sponsored by Michael's, but all opinions and photos are 100% mine. I don't know about you, but I have the most beautiful scrapbook for my oldest daughter, Savannah, documenting all the moments in her 1st year. What do I have for my other, younger children? And as sad as I am to admit it, a whole lot of nothing. So when Michael's sent me this new Recollection Calendar Kit, I was over the moon. Finally a way for me to document our special moments each year without feeling like I have to do a full scrapbook. … continue reading
