Princess joined the YMCA Tiger Sharks swim team in January. She loves the water and swimming as much as I do and had learned a lot in the few refresher lessons she’d taken in November and December. Her strongest stroke is the backstroke, followed by freestyle. Butterfly and breastroke need a lot of work yet, [...]

Sledding
We had a couple good days of snowfall over break, which was awesome! One of the days, I loaded up the kiddos, some neighborhood friends, the dog, and the sleds and took them sledding. 6 people, 5 sleds, and a 75-pound lab in a Highlander is quite a sight to see! I love this photo [...]
American Girl
For Princess’s 9th birthday this year, we decided to surprise her with a trip to a store she’s been wanting to go to for - like - EVER! I’ve been avoiding it because it’s expensive. She accepted that the answer would be “no” whenever she asked. She really never asked because she knew it was [...]
They’re All So Pretty!
One of the many many things I love about my Princess is how she sees everything as pretty and wants to make sure whenever she gives something to someone, it’s the perfect “one” for them.
Last week, Princess had written her last thank you for Christmas and birthday gifts to her BFF that lives a ways [...]

She LOVED it! Her new friend, Nayvee, from volleyball is on the [...]

Although his first choice would’ve been The Fantasticals I volunteered to coach her team again this past fall. When we signed up, I had the dates wrong! I thought it started and [...]
Sleeping Princesses
Princess was very tired when we got home for our Turkey Week trip to MN; however, she had missed her Tonks. She just had to see and love and pet Tonks before bed.
Apparently, nature took over and made her actually sleep while allowing her to pet and love Tonks at the same time
Spelling Tests …
. . . are a great time to brown nose the teacher!
Budding Cowgirl
Princess has completed her first two lessons and absolutely loved it! Not that there was any doubt in my mind She was so excited for her first lesson that she could barely contain herself. She of course had to wear her horsey shirt that matched her brand new boots. What I loved about the [...]
Halloween Fairy
My little Princess went off the board for Halloween this year. She originally wanted to be a witch again. But then we were shopping at her Mother Ship - aka Claire’s - and she saw some wings, a skirt, and a tiara and she just HAD to have them. Then we found a cute Halloween [...]
