As a person who is now getting the point of burying my grandparents and other relatives I see starting to get older, I’m realizing how important these memories are. Pictures can’t be replaced. They tell a story. Bad or good, they show us for what we were at a certain point in time and they are to serve as a marker…a kind of…
Week 4 Complete!
Nutrisystem gives us challenges each week. This week (well, actually next 10 days) is to log an activity for 10 days straight. Oy. Y’all, that means I gotta get up and do something for 10 days. Well, nothing like the present to get out and be purposeful
Thanksgiving: Fear of Food!
If you’re someone who doesn’t like bread that tastes like you’re pretty much eating something straight out of the field, you won’t like this bread. But, if you love that wheaty earthy (find other words that end in ‘y’), then you will love…
Day 3 – otherwise known as veggies are hell day…
So, here’s me being all accountable. What a pretty plate! I mean, colorful, veggies. A nice shake. It was good. Not. Today was the ‘If I hate to eat another damn vegetable, I’m going to throw up’ day and that was day 2 of veggies. I’m so screwed.
Treading Water
You ever had those moments where you look at your schedule and wonder how in the world you’re making it all fit? Yeah, me too. I recently read a book (well, morel like listened to an audio book, because I don’t have time to just ‘sit and read’) that talked about how we’ll never have […]
Graduation, Rainbows, and Pool Time!
Well, the last few weeks have been a catch up game! A couple of weeks ago, we decided to start working on the pool. We haven’t done much with it in the last couple of years since Elysha broke her leg and then we tried to get it done one year and got a massive […]
Memorial Day 2019
Memorial Day, 2019! One of the things we’ve started doing less of around Memorial Day is attending the typical BBQ festivities and using this holiday as an extra sleep in day. We’ve been working pretty diligently to instill a sense of gratitude for what Armed Forces have done for us and this is another holiday […]
End of School!
It’s summertime y’all! Schools out and I’ve never been happier! (Well, okay, maybe I’ve been happier, but this year was PHEW!) Our little guy is done with 2nd grade and managed over the year to read 124 books! He’s so proud of his accomplishment that he put the Accelerated Reader paper on his desk in […]
All things April!
April has been an amazing month, so far! Silas is branching out a little more every day and every day, we learn something new about his ADHD. We’re working to figure out how he handles things day to day and learning how to adapt when things fail for him. ADHD is a hard battle if […]
All I want for (insert holiday name) is a clean house…
Let me be first to admit, this image isn’t my house – though mine looks this way OFTEN with kids. I wish I had a Tidy House by Marie Kondo, but if I’m honest, about the only thing that SPARKS JOY for me lately is the sound of trash bags opening and dumping stuff into […]
