I love making slideshows with my pictures. The whole family enjoys popping a DVD into the tv and watching a video montage of our recent vacation, baby’s first year, our wedding photos, or whatever the event may be. Most recently, I made a slideshow for Justin’s grandfather’s funeral. If you have iPhoto, making a slideshow, complete with music, is easy. In iPhoto, select File > New Album. Name the album..

Disclaimer: This post is brought to you by the Publix Baby Club. All opinions are my own. Going grocery shopping with three kids is always an adventure. Trying to keep all the kids together and make sure they aren’t sticking random items in the cart is tough. Making it through the store without having to make three trips to the bathroom is a challenge. Trying to do all that plus.. Read More
I’m linking up with Emily P. Freeman today to share what I’ve learned in June. Every month, bloggers from all over link up to share the interesting and random they have discovered over the last thirty(ish) days. I’ve always enjoyed reading through these link-ups, but until I discovered bullet journaling, I wasn’t so great at keeping up with the things I’ve learned. Now, I can and I can’t wait to.. Read More
My mom always says that my sister is super organized with her things and I am super organized with my time. Peek into Mallory’s shower and I guarantee she has her shampoo and conditioner and shaving cream all lined up shortest to tallest. Her closet is arranged by color and season. I, on the other hand, am not so organized with my things but I am all about organizing my.. Read More
I am not a shopper. Ask most anyone who knows me and they’ll tell you that I don’t like to shop. I do, however, have a family and apparently, we need, you know, clothes and stuff to be able to go out in public. I also have a day job that requires me to wear more than just workout clothes. All this has lead me to become the queen of.. Read More
While we’re not on the subject of makeup, I thought I’d take a minute to share my no-fuss routine. (If you’re a guy, or not interested in makeup, go read this post about a surprise visitor.) I’m a simple girl–I am most happy in jeans and a t-shirt and do not like to spend a lot of time getting ready. I also don’t have the complexion to go without makeup,.. Read More
I have been a horrible blogger these last few weeks. I have yet to get a grip on this lack-of-schedule during the summer. Fingers crossed, things will improve next week. I do have some pretty good posts planned. But since you can’t find good content here lately, I have compiled the some greatness from around the web. 🙂 LINKS Adoption Through Eyes Of Adoptive Dads— A Q&A of several.. Read More
Two weeks in to summer, the time that is supposed to be slower so that I can catch up on things, and my house is in the worse shape ever. With no real bedtime for the girls, I don’t have that precious hour after they go to sleep to catch up on everything I usually do–laundry, dishes, blogging. Next week is our church’s VBS, and hopefully after that, things.. Read More
This post happens every Friday. If you’re new here, check out the “Cool Products” tag on the right sidebar to see past posts. LINKS: I Can’t Believe I’m Telling You This. While breastfeeding my girls until they were 2 wasn’t for me, I totally agree with sharing things with other moms. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again– this motherhood thing is a team sport. We need encouragement from other moms-and.. Read More
