Hebrews 11:1
This summer found the girls getting an education on how their mama grew up in Missouri. And a culture shock for these city girls. It's a hillbilly life, for sure. You can read about it here. My mama skills were tested to the max. This the summer I discovered all is not well in my house.... Continue Reading →
May has been crazy. It's been a frantic race to the finish line to summer break. Every year I say this is the year I grow herbs in a pot. And then I kill it. The cilantro tasted great while it lasted. Sitting in rush hour traffic, with a rainbow in my rear view. It's... Continue Reading →
School started two weeks ago. That means summer is officially O-V-E-R...over. Bring on fall?! I thought I would dump a bunch of random photos here that have nothing to do with anything except...this was our life this summer. Reflecting on #Summer2015 And, finally, goodbye Summer 2015. It's time for schedules and homework and sport events... Continue Reading →
I don't know anyone who says they had a great childhood, except my hubby. This, despite the fact his family moved around a lot as a child and there was lean times when his dad was unemployed. He still claims he had a great childhood. What a little optimist. Childhood is what you spent the... Continue Reading →
It's summer slow down around here. Time for lazy days, popsicles on the patio, crafts days and enjoying the Colorado outdoors. And, so my writing schedule will also slow down just a bit. I pray that you slow down too; kick off your flip-flops, eat ice cream like a kid, enjoy the sunshine and marvel... Continue Reading →
A tough lesson for my kids at the street carnival: Carnivals are rigged. No, seriously. There is a reason you only see one person walking around with a giant stuffed panda bear. The games are impossible to win. I could have bought a non-flammable stuffed animal at Target for the price Daddy just paid trying... Continue Reading →
...And it was only 4 days! It was a quick trip to Wichita, KS. We loved seeing my lil' sis, her awesome kids, my soon-to-be brother-in-law, and my mom (aaahhhh!). With only 2 full days in Wichita we had to pack a lot in. First up was Tanganyika Wildlife Park. This is a 100% private... Continue Reading →
Parker begged to take her training wheels off her bike. Okay, I may have bribed her with a new bike if she learned to ride a two-wheel.
Pull weeds easy by watering them first. Then pull at the base of the weed. The weed will come out, root and all.

And you thought I'd be sitting around watching home improvement shows all day. Not even close. (Okay, I watch a few.) I am knee-deep in scrapping the peeling paint on the house trim. I have 2 sides scrapped and primed (except the very high part that I need someone to hold the ladder for). Estimated... Continue Reading →
By Memorial weekend I will be embarking on a new adventure. I will be transitioning from a working mom to a stay-at-home mom. This is something I have wanted to do for a long time, but circumstances in our lives have prevented it in the past. As they say, life changes. I am very blessed... Continue Reading →
I haven't posted pictures in awhile. (Drum roll) From my lens: It's a good thing we don't have to live off what I grow because this is the only ripe tomato I have gotten this year!
