Our annual Mother’s Day Brunch was a bit smaller than usual, but it was still filled with love, laughter and some really good food. I know some people think it’s a bit unusual that I (a mom) want to have hostessing/cooking duties on Mother’s Day, but I enjoy it. Me and my beautiful mom. Love […]
Field Trip: The Orange County Swap Meet
Do you have a swap meet near you? The Orange County Swap Meet is near us and we forget how much fun it is to go there, so a few weeks ago that’s how we decided to spend a Saturday morning. I decided to take my camera so that I could blog about our little […]
Parenting in public? I’m OK with that.
Before anyone gets all up in arms and wants to call CPS on me, let me explain. In recent headlines there have been two instances of parents who publicly “humiliated” their kids on Facebook for being disrespectful and bratty. One man took his revolver, unloaded several bullets into her laptop and posted the video on […]
Why I have a special place in my heart for our driveway.
My family is big on traditions and get-togethers. We plan a lot, schedule many things, but we have often found that spontaneity provides some of our favorite moments. Don’t laugh, but some of our favorite family moments have been on our driveway. That’s right… the place where you park the cars. It’s the place where neighbor […]
I eated a butter too…
Dear Family Members, Please keep the dang lid on the dang butter dish. I have told you 50 million times that the cat keeps getting on the counter and eating the butter!! Again and again and again. I nag because I NEED TO. Keep the lid on the butter dish! Thank you. Repetitively, The Management
Love, loss, and how my boys taught me about grace & forgiveness.
My ex-husband died this week. I’m going the serious route today: love, life, divorce, death, and what I’ve learned about grace, forgiveness and strength of character. If you’re here for a craft tutorial, a funny story or a DIY project, I’m afraid you’ll have to come back later or peruse the archives for them. If you want to know what I learned, read on…
Loss.
Devin and Conner’s dad, Mike, lost his battle with colon cancer this morning. The boys were by his side, which is what all three of them wanted. Thanks for all of the love, prayers and words of encouragement.
What’s been your most meaningful moment during the past year?
I’ve been asked what has been my most meaningful moment over the past year, I have to admit that I was a little stumped. I mean, I’ve experienced lots of moments that have been meaningful… but to pick just one? Should I pick Devin’s graduation day? That’s a big day, right? My first born graduating […]
Share the wealth.
Last week on Valentine’s Day, Grant’s class had a party. He came home from school with a bag full of cards and candy, and also with his best buddy, Jake, who was going to play for a while after school. He asked if he could have a piece of his candy, and also asked if […]
What a real Valentine looks like.
I’m sick today. (Like ready to go into a NyQuil induced coma, Sick Today.) I should be posting Valentine’s Day crafts, or romantic gift ideas, etc. Instead, here it is mid-day and I’m in sweats, have a nose like Rudolph’s and am feeling (and looking) about as romantic as the Church Lady. All this Valentine’s […]
