About Me I'm Stacy - an Army wife, and a stay at home mom to my 7 year old Lovebug. I spend my days homeschooling, doing at-home OT, gluten-free cooking, taking photos, reading, blogging, doing fun science projects, going on field trips & managing the home. I also enjoy sewing, scrapbooking & crocheting and need to make more time for those.
I'm passionate about my faith, my family, my friends, foster parenting, adoption (one day!), advocating for special needs, nature, the beach, and CHOCOLATE!

Tonight my heart is tired. You ever have one of those times as a parent where you wish you could rewind and have a do-over? I wish I could back up about 2 hours and just do things differently. My sweet Lovebug got in trouble for something tonight that she really shouldn’t have. The worst part . . . → Read More: Parenting should come with do-overs

Yesterday I had a long list of errands to run. I had been saving up several random errands that all took me to the same part of town so I could knock them all out in one swoop. I was planning to do them the day before, but then the truck window threw a wrench in . . . → Read More: Field Trip Friday – puppies, friends & frozen yogurt

However, we have been so busy lately that we haven’t had a lot of just one-on-one time. We have been spending countless hours . . . → Read More: Cleaning up after the meltdown

It started like any other day. Lovebug coming downstairs to greet me with a “Good morning, Mommy!” when she got up. Then it went downhill in a hurry. She wanted oatmeal (gluten free, of course) for breakfast. Simple enough, right? Since we are working on her motor skills & coordination, it provides a great way for . . . → Read More: It’s a heartbreaking meltdown kind of day

This is what I got to see first thing this morning.
Notice anything missing?
It’s actually a lot more missing than you think. Here is what the Tooth Fairy will find tonight…

Here is Lovebug’s summary of her last day at camp. She had a wonderful week and can’t wait to go back next summer!
