A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Some creative stuff. I can’t seem to get through the summer without at least one project or so. At our first garage sale outing of the season, I found some patio chairs that were super cheap and just needed some TLC. At first,…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Spring Sports are done. Grayson had an incredible season playing spring flag football with i9 Sports.

A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Skate City. This place has been a go to for both of my boys late elementary through middle school years. Their school always hosts a special discounted night and there is a contest for the “golden skate”–an award for the teacher with the most…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Birthday Boy #2. My second born, Grayson, came into this world two weeks earlier than expected and he has had us on our toes ever since. I can’t believe he’s a teenager now.

A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.The Birthday Boy #1. Morgan turned 15 this past week. Give me oxygen–I feel light-headed. How did this happen?
