About Me

Shena-Leonard-Family-DisneyAfter 16 years in Marketing, I left my “for pay” job so that I could spend more time with the Family. It has been fabulous to have more time to volunteer in the kids’ schools, coach Lego League Robotics teams, and spend more quality & creative time with the kiddos. My goal was to spend less time being so overbooked and under-slept — you parents know what I’m talking about, right?!?  (=

My other goal was to get the socks mated, but… that hasn’t happened yet… I can’t be the only one who has a ginormous basket of unmated socks that the family digs through each morning to find a pair to wear, can I?? My youngest considers it a “treasure hunt” and just pulls two random socks each day – so, I’m encouraging his creativity by leaving the socks unmated. Right?

Since the sock mating goal was never reached, the boys and I thought we’d set a new goal of getting back to the blog we started (and abandoned) a couple of years ago. We have TONS of fun stuff to share, and we’d love for you to follow us!  Note: The boys are REALLY hoping people will comment on the posts, so please do! (=

 Some Random Things:

  • Shena rhymes with Jenna. I know it’s odd. But, after spending my younger years sadly having to explain how to pronounce my name to every teacher/person I met, I actually like that it’s different. I put “rhymes with Jenna” on every nametag I ever wear to help people remember. (=
  • You may notice that I have a tendency to overuse explanation points and smiley faces – but, I can’t help it! This stuff makes me happy and excites me! (=
  • If you ever notice a ton of typos/misspellings in a post, just blame the phone. (= The phone also likes to “auto correct” my name to Sheba, and I got tired of having a battle of wills with an inanimate object, so I decided to just leave it from now on. In fact, I’ve actually grown fond of the nickname and have even been known to answer to Sheba every now and then. (=

 

 

Welcome

At my "for pay" job I'm a Marketing Manager in the Yearbook industry - it's pretty fun as far as jobs go. But, what I REALLY like to do is spend time with my adorable boys - cooking, painting, creating, and making a mess. We thought it would be fun to share some of our favorite things on this blog. We hope you enjoy reading about our exploits, and maybe even take the time to try a few of them yourself. (= Read More...
