I Gave Him Love

by gidget life is beautiful

One of the sweetest gifts a mama can get has to be praise for her children, hearing them do unto others as someone has done to them, giving the grace that they themselves have been given. Since the end of last year (probably due to all the changes in our family– moving, new baby coming, [...]

Around Town…

by gidget fun

While I’ve been away from this space, I’ve been elsewhere a bit… I recorded a podcast with Tsh from Simple Mom which was really fun. You can get the details and listen over on Home Fries. This was a bit surreal when I thought about how three years ago when I started blogging I never [...]

10 on 10: August

by gidget life is beautiful

I’ve been meaning to do this for a while but the 10th of the month always seems to zip on by, so this time I set an alarm on my phone to remind myself. When I headed over to Rebekah’s blog and read about how the project started, I knew it was meant for me. [...]

Ice cream bowls were also snack bowls and party favors along with the felt ice cream cones {ie, no paperware or cheesy goody bags}. Drinks for the mamas, snacks, and flowers from our yard. Yaya [...]

Mother’s Day

by gidget family

I had a lovely Mother’s Day. My kids aren’t really old enough to give me gifts yet (when they are–maybe next year– I’d love to incorporate this sweet idea into our family), so it’s basically just my husband’s doing. This year David found something that really showed me his thoughtfulness, as it appealed to what [...]

Tonight at My Place…

by gidget life is beautiful

My hubby works at a really cool company. He loves his job, which I love. While I’m sure he would love to stay home and play with us, he actually looks forward going to work in the morning, which hasn’t always been the case in his career as a working-man. But he also has a [...]
