• The Salishan Resort–Oregon Coast

    I am a self-proclaimed OREGON COAST addict. I have been visiting since I was a little kid and LOVE sharing the magic of Oregon with my own kiddos. There’s just NOTHING like it!! After years of driving down the coast, we FINALLY had a chance to stay at the Salishan Resort, and CANNOT wait to go back. This was our first time staying at the Salishan Resort and Spa, but it seems like a great place to return to year after year. It was just such a fun family-friendly experience with EVERYTHING our kids could want ALL right on site. And it is located SMACK dab in between two of…

  • I FINALLY watched the new “Little Women” movie

    Have you seen the NEW Little Women movie yet??? I kept putting it off, but I FINALLY watched it and do you wanna know what I thought…well you will just have to wait until I tell you all about how much I love Louisa May Alcott, how I ADORE the book, and how I was a bit apprehensive of watching the new film FIRST. BUT if you want an honest review from a Little Women lover extraordinaire…it is on the way.

  • Weekly Marriage Meeting

    Among my resolutions this year is ONE goal that I am REALLY excited about and which has been on my heart for a while. I am dedicated to giving some MAJOR thought and time to my marriage in 2020. I have a few mini-goals to help me along the way, including more frequent date nights, quick trips (with and without the kids), being more intentional with my time at home, and holding a weekly marriage meeting…and that is the one that I think is going to be the real game-changer. Why have a weekly marriage meeting?? Before having kids, I was a teacher and a coach and I gave EVERY-thing…

  • Free Printable Daily Planner

    One of my biggest goals for 2020 is to be more organized and more efficient with my time. One thing I have ALWAYS struggled with is procrastination and disorganization. I am a creative thinker. My mind can go in a million different directions…but I have a hard time focusing on JUST ONE THING. And even though I am only one week into the new year, I am already getting more done thanks to my Printable Daily Planner. Why a daily printable planner?? I am ALLLLL about list-making. If I can make a list and check items off, I am one happy lady. I have to admit I have even added…

  • Virgin River on Netflix

    If you are a Robyn Carr fan, hold on to your hats because her beloved VIRGIN RIVER series has arrived on Netflix. I was not familiar with the books, but I received a copy of VIRGIN RIVER by Robyn Carr from the publisher and decided to jump right in and see what all the fuss is about. Since I am a reader at heart, let’s talk about the book first…although I have plenty to say about the show as well…so stay tuned. VIRGIN RIVER begins as Mel Monroe arrives in the remote and rugged forest town of Virgin River (population 600) to start her new life. She leaves her old…
