A Mom's Year

Creating a comfortable life one moment at a time

Happy Weekend

Have you ever seen a pool right up against a house like this? I didn’t even know you could do this, but I guess the pool shares a wall with the home’s foundation. What a cool way to squeeze a pool into a tight space. I don’t think I’d do this with toddlers around. Or maybe even myself, for that matter. I’m pretty sure I’d forget about the pool and step right out the door and get soaked. Although if I lived here, I’d probably just wear a swimsuit all the time, to be safe.

Here are some fun links for you. Enjoy your weekend and I hope to see you back here on Monday!

  • Great Dumbledore quote on a poster.
  • Free “Live Your Life on Purpose” poster to download from Sarah Jane Studios.
  • Homemade Snowcones.
  • What do you think of this clear glass tub?
  • Peanut butter cup ice cream.
  • Cute idea for a child’s room.
  • I like this version of camping.
  • Pillow case dress tutorial.

    Thanks for the link to the Dumbledore quote – that’s one of my favorite lines. If I think about it too much, it actually makes me a little teary!

Special Olympics athletes and staff had the honor of marching. Such an exciting day, and I got to meet actor Chris Burke who played Corky Thatcher on “Life Goes On.”
