photo by myu Lauren from Foodtrainers wrote a special post today for her husband listing her definitions of love. Her post inspired me to make my own list of thank-yous to my husband of nine years. In nine years, we have never made a big deal out of Valentine’s Day, in part because February 14th is usually the early report date for pitchers and catchers, but mostly because we don’t…
This is a guest post by BeccasCrazyBoys. Read more about Becca and her crazy boys at ourcrazyboys.com I have a crafter in my house.

Our favorite photos were arranged on the biggest wall in the living room. I didn’t want to take them down and have a giant blank wall staring at us. So I decided to make a cheery Christmas…

I hope that you all had a marvelous Thanksgiving. Mine was supposed to start with a 5k race, but because I apparently don’t know how to sleep without injuring my neck, I was unable to run.
