Around here, we are struggling with what day it is. Just yesterday, I asked our youngest to take out the recycling. (Might I remind you, yesterday was Tuesday. Not Friday, Garbage and Recycling Day.) Now, normally, when I ask the boys to take out the recycling, the boys know that if it's not a Friday, ...
The joy of turning 45
Today is my birthday. If you know me well, you know that I LOVE BIRTHDAYS. Like...I really, really love them. As a matter of fact, in my vocabulary, I will often talk about BIRTHDAY WEEK. Yes. This is a real event. My sweet hubby begs to differ that this is a legit thing, but after being ...
Happy 13th Birthday Nate!
Dear Nate, I am still in shock...we have a TEENAGER!!! I can't believe that today you are 13 years old! Over the past few years, I've reminisced on the blog about how you came into this world. You can click on the links to read about Nate's grand entrance into the world that took place on ...
Back on the blog! And…Fun Friday Favorites
Well, it has been forever and a moon since I've been on the blog! I've missed you all immensely and it's so good to be back. Wednesday night, I woke up at 3 a.m. and couldn't get back to sleep. (I blame it on the delicious sushi and Chinese from our favorite place, Sushi House.) Anyway, insomnia ...
Well, HELLO Mr. Sun
I'm fully aware that summer is creeping upon us. It's May 31st and school is almost out and then, SUMMER BREAK!!!! We are MORE than ready for summer to begin around here. Not only is the calendar making me aware of summer approaching, but the heat has been ramping up and according to my frizzy hair, the ...
Puppy love. We’re getting a dog!
I can't believe it. You all. We are getting a puppy and I've fallen head over heals with this little canine. AND I haven't even met her yet. For the longest time, Nate and Maxim have begged and begged and begged for Daddy and me to get them a dog. "No, they are too much work." "We don't ...
Weekend Recap: I might need to go on blood pressure medicine
We had a nice weekend relaxing and getting back into the groove of normal family life. With Hubby back from his elk adventure, we were all ready for some normalcy. And though I'd like to report that the bloody elk teeth lying on the kitchen counter (souvenirs for the boys from the elk Tom shot) ...
Favorite apps on my phone
Well, it's the era of smart phones, an app for everything, and technology at the touch of your fingers. Just think, "Back to the Future" movie lovers...Marty McFly and Doc would be floored at what our world offers in this day and age. Today, I thought I'd share some of my favorite apps that I have ...
Over buying hot dog buns and the Rice Krispie shortage
You know what's interesting? That EVERY SINGLE GAS STATION within an eight mile radius of me does not stock Rice Krispies. I know. Real world problems. Before I share about my Scotch-a-roo problems, I should talk about our supper. In honor of Cinco De Mayo yesterday, we were going to have tacos for supper. Because we ...
Cute shoes gone bad and big toe therapy
If you ever find a pair of shoes that you are just loving loving loving, do not, I repeat DO NOT brag about them. Tuesday evening, I showed Hubby a pair of wedges that I pulled out of the back of our closet. Modeling them for him, I gloated about how much I really loved them ...
