It’s May, y’all! Where on earth is time going? The kids only have about 6 weeks left of school and I still feel like it is the middle of winter! The weather is not exactly helping with that feeling. The last several years, we’ve had warm, dry springs. This spring is much more like the […]

This was one of those weeks that I just drudged through…I had a cold, which was my first since the summer of 2019. It wasn’t a bad cold, but I have forgotten how to be sick. I kept wishing we could go back in time to when it was totally acceptable to “take to your […]

Happy Easter to those who celebrate! Our holiday has been quiet, but relaxing. We got the kids up and dressed in their Easter finest before Pat, Chris, and I headed off to church (Lillie is nursing a lingering cold, so she stayed home out of an abundance of caution…and so she could eat ALL her […]

I thought this week would be calm, but I seem to have been busy all week. Or else I was just easily distracted and didn’t get nearly as much done as I had hoped. Busier sounds better, but procrastination is the safer bet. Before I go any farther, I need to vent. It’s Spring. It’s […]

Well, howdy there! I haven’t been around for a while because…I haven’t been around for a while! We took off for Spring Break to see my dad in Arizona! I’ve not posted for 3 weeks, the 2nd two were due to travel, but the week before was because I was overwhelmed with everything to do […]

First of all, my apologies for not doing my usual blog hopping and commenting last week. I meant to, but I ended up spending this week trying to shut down my daughter’s Girl Scout troop’s cookie season. Technically, the season is still going until March 20th (extended from March 13th), but this season has been […]

Can you believe it is almost March? The weather here gave us a sneak peak of things to come this week, but now we are back to regular rainy February weather. This week, it seems like I’ve spent all my time on Girl Scout cookies. As any leader can tell you, this has been a […]

It’s been two weeks since I updated, but it has been QUITE the two weeks. I had expected last weekend to be crazy due to the Superbowl (which is a holiday in our house), Girl Scout cookies, and Lillie’s birthday, but things ended up being much different. My husband had a health scare–fortunately, the immediate […]

First off, I need to apologize that I wasn’t able to get back to all my book blog buddies last week. It just ended up being a crazy time and I wasn’t able log on as much. I won’t bore you with football talk this week…because there is no football. Well, the ProBowl was on, […]

14 years ago, when Pat and I bought this house, we decided not to have a TV in every room. I don’t know what Pat’s reasoning was (or if he really cares that much). I, however, was pretty firm on the “no more than 2 TV’s” rule because I grew up in a house where […]
