Discovering Life's Melodies
the harmony of music, kids, and a whole lot of family fun
For the past 3 ½ years I have been a troop leader for my daughter’s Girl Scout Troop. Besides being a mom and wife, it’s one of the most fulfilling jobs I’ve ever done. Yes, I spend countless hours planning, organizing activities, fundraising, and working with kids that aren’t my own. But seeing the faces …
I have to admit, since I was little one of my absolute favorite things to do is play games. Think about it, what kid doesn’t like a good game? I have fond memories of family game nights as a kid and now I have begun the same tradition with my own kids. Some of the …
So recently we had a late spring snowstorm. It was crazy! I have to say that I am ready for spring. However, with the late snow came a lovely family weekend. Normally our weekends consist of running between soccer games, church, and softball practices. So the slow, stay at home time we had as a …

Sorry for the long time between posts. I had some computer issues and life in general got in the way. As a mom, I’m sure you know how that goes. Along with that, the past two weeks I had kids home sick from school. It’s that time of year I guess. One had Strep and …
Hey everyone. Today was amazing. I had more me time than I really deserve. My husband had to work a weird schedule today so he was home for a little while this morning. Because it was just us after taking the kids to school we went to breakfast. So good. And then a couple hours …
I have to admit that today I didn’t do well finding time for myself. It happens. I was busy taking one of our puppies to the vet for an unexpected visit. She cut her leg yesterday so we had it checked out. Thankfully a little surgical glue, a bandage, and an e-collar later and she …
