2 and 4 turn 4 and 9
Well, Saturday was a big day around here – Owen had his 9th birthday, which to me is a big deal! Only 1 year until I have 2 boys in the double digits – then what!?! This past year has been a sort of transition for the Clingerman family – we have shifted, subtly, to a family of KIDS, not babies or little ones, but like boys, that don’t need me to wipe their noses or put their shoes on. Even Tennyson isn’t my baby anymore (besides the times when he pretends he’s a baby – which is a lot, Tennyson has an active imagination!). Anyway, as I watched my #2 son, make the click...

Is it really April?? I’m so disappointed in myself that I haven’t gotten my blog on in like 4+ months! Goodness gracious Shawna! The thing that I’ve realized over the past year, is how much I treasure all the posts I have done over the past 6 years, it is amazing to be able to look up and recall some of the great important moments as the kids were itty bitty – and even more wonderful to read little stories that remind me what life was like when life was filled with babies/toddlers/preschoolers… but things are just so far removed from that now and I’m still trying to wrap my head...
Read MoreSome Holiday Cheer
Can you smell that… I do believe that Christmas is in the air people!!! G and I spent the weekend hitting those awesome Black Friday sales – and I’m more than just a little excited about Cyber Monday today!!! But I took a little break from playing Santa to play along with some fellow designers at SSD on a little Christmas printable blog train! I’ve got gifting on the brain, so I decided to put together a little list for you to print out and make your own list to check twice: Click on the image and to download it for yourself and enjoy! Then go visit...
Read MoreI’m a Professional Crafter!
So, just incase you thought I’d been over here hiding under a bush and twiddling my thumbs – I have actually physical proof for you – I’ve been a busy busy lady! In addition to school, and soccer and home life craziness, I’ve spent the past few months carefully preparing for our MOMS Club Holiday Bazaar. Last year I participated, although I did not take near enough time to prepare so I ended up with just a handful of hand-made cards and a pile of recycled gift bows. So as soon as the last year’s was over, I started looking forward to this year – and all of the awesome-ness...
Read MoreSchool Days
This summer, for the most part, was so nice. I really actually enjoyed having the kid home a good bit of the time, and I think everyone enjoyed a break from having to be on the go. But man, ever since we came back from vacation, the craziness has been growing. I know the boys were getting bored, and therefore restless – plus, the weather this summer has sucked! We ended up spending a LOT of inside time, and even I (100% a rain lover and hater of the heat) missed the sun this year! So, needless to say, the second half of August had me counting down the days till we could get back to...
Read MoreHOME AGAIN!
Well, this post is sure to be a doozy, but these past few weeks have been a doozy so it can’t be helped!! The Clingerman family has spent the last 14 days on the on the open road, really, we all loaded up all the boys, back packs filled with various supplies and hit the road from here in Washington all the way to see g’s family in Pennsylvania! On the way there we took only 3 1/2 days to get there – it is a 2700 mile trip so we had to push through pretty much driving non stop! One night we found a late night hotel room but the other two we drove through the night. You...
