I just realized that I did not have a single picture of my son making any of our special Valentines this month! So instead, this is a picture of my husband and son enjoying coffee together that I made for each of them on Sunday morning. Of course,…
I loved this month’s challenge! Even though my boys are little and cannot yet read, we still had fun getting creative this month. I figured love notes and letters would not really have an immediate benefit, so we decided to use stickers and hearts t…
For Christmas this year, my mom made us kids (me and my brothers) family albums with all of our pictures in them from birth through adulthood. This really sparked some great conversations as we looked through them together about where each picture w…
We have always had fun traditions to celebrate each month. January is my husband’s birthday. For all of our birthdays we always have a special family party at home with dinner and cake with ice cream, even if we are going to have a big party, too. F…

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 [...]
