I don’t have to tell anyone, I don’t think, about how HOT it’s been this week. As I said before I’m a facebooker too, and sometimes my saturday posts get away from me, sorry. Some days blend into the next, but I digress. My father’s family has all kind of “drifted” apart (not saying that…

Thanks again to the ever fabulous Christine for helping me come up with a topic for this week!! It’s not that I lack the knowledge to come up with new and awesome posts, it’s mostly because I really like to hear suggestions from others on what I should tackle every week, so, that being said-…

I am not sure when it was exactly, that I stopped planning ahead. It could have been when Zoe was little and ill all the time. Maybe when her big sister Olivia was still catching every virus too- but somewhere along the years with appointments, kids school stuff, daily care and flu seasons- and trying…

So here goes, today was the orthopedic appointment I talked about 2 weeks ago. No surgery this summer, is what the doctor said. But he may need it further down the line probably 2 more times. I checked to make sure he wasn’t near retirement yet…he assured me he had at least another 15 or…

I’m probably what you would call a social butterfly. I like to be around people, out and about, you name it, I probably like it. Except Brussels Sprouts. That my friends will never change. Since my early childhood, I have LOVED playing outside. So, eager to get the girls engaged in the love of outdoors, I like…

Two peas in a pod may sound like twins but I swear if you looked at my husband and my son you’d see that they were cut from the same mold. They look so much a like it’s just unreal! I appreciate my husband and all that he does…even tonight when I wanted to come…
