It was fun to try and guess which personality type I would be. Being an educator, I thought I might end up a family educator. But, my name is Kelly and I am a nurturer! It makes sense, a good educator is a nurturer. I am the Pollyanna who wants ever…
Going through the pain of losing a loved one, working full and part time, and spending every other moment I can with my two year old sometimes leaves few moments for random acts of lovies. That is what I could tell myself anyway. I actually believe…
Whew, this challenge came at a very sad time in our family! We just lost my Mom and Olivia’s “best Grandma” on January 27th. She has had cancer since 2000 so we have spent a lot of time listening to stories, gathering photos, and making memories. Ou…
I had already started this monthly list as part of getting my budget in order for the year. I realized that every month there were events and traditions that I needed to budget for.
January: Fireworks and a New Year’s Eve toast
Our two year old dran…
This was an easy challenge because my husband and I had already decided that for Christmas this year we would give each other the gift of a family swim pass to our local pool. It is a wonderful new pool that has a kiddie area that starts at zero dep…
There were many conversations at our little table and it is hard to choose just one. I should start by telling you that we are also involved with flylady and one of the first tasks for this tradition to happen was to clear off the table and start ea…

Who you are DOES make a difference
Good morning!
Welcome to my first blog post.
It is perfect that my first post is about something that is so important to me.
This morning I was given a link to watch a video about honoring those who make a difference in our lives.
This is perfect since it is the exact message I want to share with my friends and family. We all have busy hectic lives, but it needs to be our mission to take the time to honor those we care about once a day, once a week, once a month, once a year, and once in a while… Continue

No Nag Nirvana
Yes, wouldn’t that be like heaven? You walk around the house and without saying a word, backpacks, toys and clothes are picked up…dishes are cleared off the table and towels are hung back on the towel rack. Dirty clothes actually go into the dirty clothes basket and you no longer walk into the kitchen to [...]
The Power of Unexpected Kindness
The idea of Door Knob Drops came from my sister, Teri, who lives with her two boys in Moraga, California. One year there were several kids on their street that were graduating from some school or another; sixth grade, eighth grade or twelfth grade. Teri and her boys put together some very simple treats with [...]
What Would You Do?
Last night my boys, Dylan and Travis, were helping me cut out Bingo Boards and put together Bingo Button sacks. It was really late and I was trying to get everything photographed for this first Five in One Family Fun email. Normally they go to bed by 9:15 but it was 9:30 and I hadn’t [...]
