It was a whirlwind of a summer! Good times capped off by our recent vacation to Disney, an Ironman for my husband, and all sorts of other things thrown in between. School started last week signaling the official end of summer. Here’s a few of our last summer moments and the start of the school
Oh, hello Friday… I couldn’t be happier to see you! It was hard to get back into our routine after Carter’s spring break last week. We didn’t jet off anywhere exotic, but made some good memories right here in Des Moines. Carter went to the school program a few days while Todd and I worked. He
Make a homemade bubble solution with common household ingredients you already have on hand. We had a great end to Carter’s spring break from school last week. I took Friday off from work and we went to the Science Center of Iowa. It’s a place Carter has really grown to love more as he’s gotten
Here we are at the end of another week. Most of the schools here were on spring break this last week. While we didn’t jet off to somewhere warm, and I’m incredibly jealous of those who did, I was happy to have taken a few days off to spend with Carter AND the office was fairly

Birthday Bash – Todd’s birthday was this week and we had some friends over to
Am I the only one not quite in the swing of things after the holidays? This week has been a long one, and I’m so happy it’s Friday! 1. One Hot Mess – For some reason during the week our counter and kitchen table become the epicenter of chaos. Craft supplies, games, school papers, mail,
I’m writing to you from the frozen tundra of the Midwest. We’ve had a somewhat mild winter so far, but that all changed this week. 1. Oh, Hello Winter – the 7 inches of snow and below freezing temps didn’t make it easy to get back into our schedules after our time off of work and school
Happy New Year! We had a pretty relaxing week finishing up some holiday get togethers, ringing in the New Year, sleeping in, watching movies and even getting a few workouts in. I generally take the week off between Christmas and New Years and I’m so glad I did this year too. Todd talked me out of
I have a friend who chooses a “focus word” at each start of the new year. Two years ago, I joined her and chose the word CREATE. That was the year I started Sometimes Homemade. Last year I didn’t pick a word for the new year, but my word seemed to choose me: GRATEFUL. I
