Remember the Nexus 7 tablet review I did a few weeks before Christmas? Grant wanted his own tablet and I wanted to know if the Nexus 7 was good for kids…. Anyhow, the way that Christmas morning went down, I thought a follow up post was in order. Grant had been saying that he wanted […]
What I Wore (and a few beauty tips.)
Happy Tuesday! If you follow me on Instagram you may know that on Saturday night we accompanied my Dad to the Marine Corps Birthday Ball. I almost never do those What-I-Wore posts, but I have gotten some questions regarding the dress I wore that night and my make-up, so I thought I’d answer them here today. Since […]
It’s Veteran’s Day… Thank you to all who serve.
To all who have served our country and their families… thank you for your service, your commitment, and your sacrifice. We are so grateful! I am especially proud of and grateful to my dad for his 22 years of service in the Marine Corps. Happy 238th birthday to the Corps. We were privileged to be […]
All you need is love.
I originally had a recipe scheduled for today, but I had such a great birthday this week, that I wanted to just say a quick thing about gratitude and love. My heart is so full that when I blew out my birthday candles, I totally forgot to make a wish. In that moment everything was […]
How I became friends with my husband’s ex-wife.
It’s my birthday today. I thought I would tell you about a gift that I recently received… an unlikely friendship with my husband’s ex-wife. Sounds strange, right? Let me explain. Just over 6 months ago my 15 year old step-son, Mitch, was in a horrific accident. While he was riding his bike home from school, […]
I’m a Navy Mom!
Where have I been the past couple of days…? Nowhere. Only waiting in a government building to see my baby get sworn in to the Navy!!! He is going in to the Navy’s Nuke School! What an amazing opportunity and blessing this is! My dad was a Master Gunnery Sargent in the Marine Corps. He was […]
Look how far we’ve come!
So 47 days after he was run over by a truck, Mitch returned to school. He can get up and walk around but he gets tired pretty easily, so he needs to ride in the wheelchair from class to class. Conner got a special pass to be excused 5 minutes early and arrive 5 minutes […]
The Homework Battle, or “What must the teachers think of us?!”
Grant was out with the flu all last week. (Remember the sad end to his Disneyland weekend?) Well, we’re currently focused on doing all of his make-up work. It makes me crazy that he would rather do his own thing than follow directions. It would be so much easier if he would just bang it […]
A fabulous birthday weekend at Disneyland and the Disneyland Hotel. (Yep, we took a local vacation!)
We celebrated Grant’s 9th birthday at Disneyland over the weekend! We had an awesome time (until he got smacked with the flu bug and we had to cut out trip short.) Boo. We will be taking him back for a “re-do” of Disney’s California Adventure, but today I wanted to share our trip to the […]
Help! I need a quick and easy dinner!
When I was asked to try Kraft Homestyle Macaroni & Cheese Microwaveable Bowls, I jumped at the chance. Want to know why? Because it’s been crazier than usual around here. There’s lots of extra people coming and going, full-time, hands-on care for Mitch, and all of the normal crazy/busy that a family of 6 can […]
