Fun Friday Favorites: Some small town favorites

Yesterday, we were in my hometown of New Sharon...otherwise known as "God's Country".  Seriously.  It's just that good.  :) My favorites this week are all about me reflecting on some of the blessings God has blessed my family with.  Family, food, fun, and our great nation...America!   1.  Visiting Grandma Helen - Lunchtime at Grandma Helen's Yesterday, we went ...

Weekend Recap: It’s all about the boys

Our weekend was fun and from the title of today's blog, you can guess...it was all about the boys. We had t-ball Saturday morning for this cutie pie: Cutest first basemen EVER.

Fun Friday Favorites: Random favorites of the week

You have no idea how distraught I am.  Last night, we ran to two practices, then came home for baths, bedtime snacks, and after three loads of laundry, I was ready to sit down to watch the Season 2 finale of The Blacklist.  I had my little treat and water and a cozy blanket.  Ahhhhh...quiet time ...

Weekend Recap: Nate’s 10th Birthday!

Between our "celebrate Nate's birthday all weekend long", the time change, two birthday parties, four hours of WIDE AWAKE AND NOT SLEEPING last night, being a little emotional and sentimental because "our kids are growing up so fast"...I am a wee bit tired. Friday night, we took the boys to Scheel's to pick up Nate's birthday present...a new ...

Weekend Recap: Deep thoughts (and not by Jack Handy)

Well.  I could go into a whole therapy session right about now, but I'll spare you.  Maybe.  Long story short, last week was just one of those weeks.  It was difficult, frustrating, heart tugging...all of that fun stuff. When you set out to become a writer and a blogger the skies do not part and a ...

New Year’s resolutions, my new Life Planner, and yummy Puppy Chow

I'm back dear friends.  I meant to write a post Sunday evening, but I was plain tuckered out from Christmasing at Grandma Helen's.  We are so happy that she is feeling better.  It was a fun day of eating great food, visiting with family, and enjoying Christmas with Grandma Helen. Now, it's back to reality and ...
