Sesame Street Pillows
I have been attempting to be good about not adding more craft supplies to my stash without using the ones I currently have. So far, it’s going great.
Our New Year’s Resolution? Visit More Breweries
I have never been a resolution kind of person. I don’t mean that I haven’t set yearly goals in the past before. I have. But usually, my priorities shift by the time February comes along and I almost never follow through with them. This year, I hope that changes.
The Chaos of the Holidays
You may have noticed that we haven’t been keeping our normal blogging schedule. To be completely honest with you, the last month or so has been a whirlwind. We are going to attempt to catch you up on what’s been happening at the Ludwig house, starting with Thanksgiving through Christmas and into the New Year.
Seven Items in our Cold and Flu Tool Kit
Sometimes as a parent you can’t smell the roses. Sometimes it’s because you’re running around like a chicken with your head cut off trying to make sure the kids stay happy, healthy, and don’t murder each other.

Seasonal Creep – How Early is Too Early?

So You’re Going to Have a Baby – A Preparation Guide From a Mom of Two
The one thing every pregnant woman is guaranteed to get is unsolicited advice. They’ll get advice about pregnancy, parenting, and what gadgets they will need or not need once baby arrives. Most of the time this advice will come from friends or family members who mean well and want to share their hard-earned knowledge on the topic.
The Farm Days of Summer
We’re packing up to head to the family farm for the weekend. We try to go out at least twice a year with our friends to play board games but this time we are going out with Joe's family. Unfortunately, our time with the family farm is growing short. It’s time to hand it over to someone who can use it to its full potential and enjoy it more than a few weekends a year.
