Summer in Oregon can only mean one thing: Rain.
Lol, actually any season in Oregon can mean rain.

Paper was everywhere
Glue was everywhere

But I didn’t [...]

I DID IT!
I’m totally done.
I’ve got it ALL!
It feels SOOOOOO Good.
Since this was my second year picking out homeschool curriculum, I really feel like I know what I’m doing.

We’ve gotten so many lovely and delicious meals from friends and family, many of which I’ve been dying to make myself.
One of my [...]

Oh, I have something so scrumptious to show you!
Just a little background: I’ve been entering Baby Giveaways like crazy.
I’m like an obsessed mama trying to score some fresh diggs for my little monkey.
And a couple weeks ago I finally won something!
