Weekend Recap: Easter FUN and The Golden Egg Hunt

I had every intention of posting about our weekend on Monday, but between book writing and "I'm going to work out to lose some of these extra pounds before swimsuit season hits" and running to track practice, then football practice...it was just BUSY.  So busy that we had to resort to swinging through the McDonald's drive-thru ...

Weekend Recap: Praying for miracles. Big or small.

Well, this weekend was rather interesting.  My Saturday did not go as I had planned.  Not that I had grand plans of how to spend the afternoon, but going to the Emergency Room was NOT even on my radar.  But that's where I ended up. Seriously.  Am I the only one who does stupid little things ...

Weekend Recap: It’s your birthday. We gonna party like it’s your birthday.

You know what's better than celebrating your birthday?  Celebrating the birthday of someone you love sooo much because she is 93.  Yes, my mom's mom, Grandma Helen, turned 93 on Saturday and the family got together to give her a big birthday party. The festivities started when Hubby, the boys, and I went down to my ...

Weekend Recap: I think I’m in the reality show Survivorman

This weather is amazing.  I'll take more of these sunshiny days FOR SURE.  KEEP THIS WEATHER COMING. Spring break began Friday afternoon.  The boys have a whole week off and we celebrated in typical spring break manor...ramping bikes and basking in the late afternoon sun, with a call into the local pizza joint because this mama ...

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: Blame it on the cold and sniffles

Milli Vanilli sang (errr...sang, lip sync, faked it...whatever) "Blame It On The Rain", but I'm changing that song.  I'm blaming it on my cold and sniffles.  Why didn't all of the laundry didn't get done this weekend?  Blame it on my cold.  Why didn't I workout this weekend?  Blame it on my cold.  Why did ...

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 ...

Weekend Recap: The winner is… And our Valentine’s recap

I want to thank all of you for commenting on Friday's blog about the awesome home decor that my friend Mandy designs! Thank you for sharing it on your Facebook page and for becoming a subscriber to my blog (if you aren't already). It was fun to hear what items you loved and I was ...

Weekend Recap and today…we’ve got one under the weather

Well, I  meant to write about the weekend, but yesterday I was working on my book and that takes A LOT of brain power.  Quite honestly, it zaps my creativity completely.  And when I'm done spending hours at Coffeesmiths, the rest of life beckons me back to reality.  Meaning LAUNDRY and DISHES and cooking supper ...
