Fun Friday Favorites: It’s officially sweater weather

Look at those two handsome boys. The other night, we stopped by Daddy's work and they immediately began "working" at his desk. They never run out of energy. Me, on the other hand. I run out of energy when I have to remember decimal rules. Yes. Our week was filled with all kinds of excitement. We've ...

Weekend Recap: Deer hunting and Charlie Brown’s new movie

We had another busy weekend with both of the boys having basketball games, looking for some new living room furniture, meetings, and that's just a few of the things that were on the Patterson calendar.

Fun Friday Favorites: I can’t stop thinking about comfy clothes

I think this cooler weather is to blame. And that I've been writing from home more this week, rather than going to Coffeesmiths. Therefore, I've been all about comfy clothes.

What I’m reading lately (and a messy break up story)

Before I share about my latest reading material, I feel it necessary to divulge my latest status on something. Pumpkin Spice Coffee-mate and I...we've broken up. I know. I know. On Monday, it he was listed as one of my favorite pumpkin things. But today. My eyes were opened. We are no longer a couple. It's not him. It's ...

Fun Friday Favorites: A little fall fashion for men & women…

Well, I hope yesterday's post (Some days it is hard to adult but we must have faith) on cleaning closets and having faith inspired you to move and do something!

Fun Friday Favorites: A little men’s fashion because I don’t discriminate and Central College apparel

I'm sitting here right now, working on my second cup of coffee. That's what happens when you've hardly slept and feel like you've been running all over the universe. Or maybe just northeastern Iowa. It has been a busy week. We've worked on keeping the beat and other trombone skills, read about little puppies getting lost ...
