In case you haven't noticed...I'm trying to step up my game a little. Blogging four times in one week...whew. AND. I've been doing it with the biggest head cold complete with a stuffy nose, congestion and sneezing, and feeling like five hundred pounds of bricks are laying on my chest. Yes. I'm doing pleasantly well ...
The most delicious tasting…Cheeseburger Soup
Last Friday, when I went to take care of some Christmas returns (and might have purchased a few things), I drove through Swisher on my way home and made a quick stop at the Kava House and Cafe. If you haven't been to the Kava House and Cafe, then you MUST go there. They have wonderful ...
Just getting a few teeth pulled
For the record, no. I didn't need to have any teeth pulled. Nate, on the other hand, did. Yesterday, he had a dentist appointment to get a couple of teeth pulled. His four front teeth that were growing in didn't have enough room. Nate's orthodontist suggested he have his two baby teeth (the canines) pulled out, in ...
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 ...

Fun Friday Favorites: Making it Mandy’s and I’m giving something away!!
Hello, hello! It's the day before Valentine's Day and I'm just thrilled! Why you ask? Because Nate's Valentine's box is finished. AND he absolutely loves it!!! (You have no idea how many stores we went to in search of "basketball supplies" and trying to find a mini basketball net. It was like going down a rabbit ...
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 ...
Fun Friday Favorites: Amazing tv shows, my big week, and some fashion
Well, as most of you know, it was a big week for me. And so, I'm trying to write my blog post of Fun Friday Favorites. But it is SO HARD WHEN ALL I WANT TO DO IS WATCH SOME AMAZING TV SHOWS. (In my defense, Thursday night is about the only night I watch tv. The other ...
The ugly cry
Why yes, last night, I was all about doing the ugly cry. A cry with sniffles, tears, a crumpled up face that looked nothing short of hideous and Kenny Loggins "Meet Me Half Way" playing in the background. Yesterday was a tough day for me. After I picked the boys up from school, we ran an errand before basketball ...
Weekend Recap: Family times and SNOW!
The weekend came and went and there is no school today because of the snow and icky roads. This Snow Day makes it feel like the weekend is still here. Which means puddles of snow and piles of boots and gloves by our door. But I'm alright with that because that means I get another day at ...
