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 […]
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. Â In that moment everything was […]
How I became friends with my husband’s ex-wife.
It’s my birthday today. Â 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? Â Let me explain. Just over 6 months ago my 15 year old step-son, Mitch, was in a horrific accident. Â While he was riding his bike home from school, […]
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. Â 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. Â (Remember the sad end to his Disneyland weekend?) Â Well, we’re currently focused on doing all of his make-up work. Â It makes me crazy that he would rather do his own thing than follow directions. Â 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! Â We had an awesome time (until he got smacked with the flu bug and we had to cut our trip short.) Â Boo. Â 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 […]
How a backpack and a helmet saved our son’s life.
A Â backpack and a helmet saved our son’s life. Â Well… we’re pretty confident that God had a hand in it too. Last week our son Mitch was hit and then run over by an SUV on his way home from school. Â The support and prayers from our friends, family and community has been overwhelming. Â And […]
Teachers drink wine too…
You know I like wine… and wine cork crafts, right? Grant made me a wine cork craft for Christmas. Â It’s this sweet little “bulletin board” of wine corks, glued onto a ruler. He also made me a “To-Do” list of what he thought would be a day of bliss for me: #1 Wrap presents; #2 […]
Thanksgiving Wrap Up: Dinner, Decor and the Thanksgiving Table
Nothing makes me happier than having friends and family around during the holidays. The more, the merrier! (And I love, love, love how my Thanksgiving table turned out.!) Painted pumpkins, greenery from the yard and candles made it gorgeous.
“Hurtful Times” (A Grant story.)
Grant seems to really enjoy writing stories. Â Part of it is that they really push something called Writer’s Workshop in his school, the other is that he is just a funny kid with a big imagination, which helps to bring out the story-teller in him. I was cleaning up in his room and found a […]
