We have decided to take a break from the whole house buying/selling thing. We took the house off the market for a few months so we could enjoy the holiday season.That was the BEST decision I have made in a long time. The first weekend that we left the house and didn’t spend 30 minutes… Continue reading taking a breather

There is one word that is hard for me to hear. You might think it’s BUTT or STUPID which my son says all the time, but no those are not the ones I’m talking about. By the way, we will discuss how you get those words to stop being part of every conversation at another… Continue reading Just grand!

I have always tried to have gratitude, and find something good about my challenges. MOST OF THE TIME. I am thankful when my son climbs on the closet shelf and it spills over, because I get to re-organize( I love to re-organize). I am grateful for washers, because there is no way I want to… Continue reading Gratitude

Ellis was eating them and my daughter asked what is in them, he told her “regatta” cheese. I later told… Continue reading Regatta or Ricotta?

Lauren is in 3rd grade, and apparently 3rd grade is the year they focus on learning about the election, and the government processes in general. I am sure this is the reason she informed me I was old enough to be president. Thanks Lauren, I needed that. She also informed me she could be president… Continue reading Freedom

Something all of you in cyberspace may not know about me is that I volunteer for my church as a primary leader. What that means is that every Sunday, I and some other great people, help the children of our church-age 3-11 learn about the Gospel. It also means that each year one of my… Continue reading The program

So lately Aaron, my 5-year-old, has been rather obsessed with learning to drive. It breaks a mom’s heart a little to think about her baby growing up and not needing her. I have already experienced Lauren and Aaron not needing me to change their diapers, get them dressed, brush their teeth,push them on the swing,… Continue reading Some days
