No, this is not a book review blog. However, I am writing 2 posts in a row about books that I have read. Funny thing is, as a teacher AND a mother of 4 little ones, I never thought I would get through 2 whole books in the month of May!!! The last book I reviewed I read because it was our book...
Monday was book club. I needed book club. I couldn't wait for book club and I am SO sad that I'm going to miss next month's book club! (Even though I'm super excited about the reason I'm not going to be at book club!) The book was "Day After Night" by Anita Diamant. Here's a little bit about the book from the author: I...
I've been in a bit of a funk lately. The weather SUCKS! It totally makes me want to crawl into bed and stay there until the sun comes out...well, the sun is out today. So, here I am trying desperately to find some motivation somewhere to get something done. I think the best thing for me to do would be to get the heck outta...
Okay ~ so I don't actually have any pictures of Jerry and I on our date and I didn't take my camera (although I REALLY wanted to but I figured people would be looking at me like I was CRAZY if I started taking pictures of my food with a big old DSLR camera). However, I did use my phone to catch some...
Tee Ball is hysterical! I usually don’t get to watch the games because I am busy chasing the twins or Danika around to make sure they don’t: 1) Run onto the field 2) Hit someone with a rock 3) Steal someone’s cell phone or 4) Try to drink someone’s water… At least those are the things I was trying to prevent them from...
One of the things that I kind of try to make sure I never (or very rarely do) is complain about my husband. There are a lot of reasons for this. First of all, I love my husband and I would hate for anyone to have a bad opinion of him just because he did something little that annoyed me. Secondly, I want...
Well...I've been busy! First, we painted the kitchen. Before picture of DH's plaster job...we had some water damage in that corner and had to do some patch work before the painting. From inside the kitchen out into the entry - before picture After picture of the corner After picture into the entry way . . . my kitchen is almost too small to...
Growing up we didn't have a garbage disposal at home. We scraped our plates into the garbage can and had a little strainer in our sink to catch any stray food that we missed. We did get a dishwasher at some point but I don't remember when. I remember not having it and then I remember having it but I can't remember how...
I have so much I need to do and zero motivation...the culprit is - Mother Nature! For as long as I can remember I've known the whole "April Showers bring May Flowers" rhyme. I get it. It rains in April. And boy did it rain in April. I also understand that it is only May 4th and that Mother Nature may need a...
My friend (in real life), Christine, does TV free Mondays at her house. I turned the TV off at 8:30 - right after Nate left for school and am thinking about leaving it off all day...it's only 9:24 right now and it's taken this long to get the crying to stop - which is ridiculous - and EVERY toy is out of the...
