Meet Barney. He is 7 years old and is just about the cutest and sweetest thing we’ve ever encountered. His former owners were heartbroken to not get to keep him any more, but apparently Barney has gotten a bit more vocal this past year and their…
Spring Cleaning…er um…I mean–Late Summer Cleaning
Does anyone still do Spring Cleaning? I know I’m a little late to the party–seeing as spring ended long ago and summer is almost over. But, I was just wondering if this was still a “thing” we all do or is it just another something I feel compelled to do and then feel like a…
Was that over the top? I never can tell….
I don’t know if you can see it clearly in this picture, but above the USA imprint–the leather pouch says C 4. One letter. One number. It’s imprinted on a cute little leather pouch my son, Morgan, got to make at a school camp he went to earlier this week. It might has well have…
Sing it with me…”It’s the most wonderful time of the year”
Oh! The smells, the decorations, checking things off my list, the euphoria of new things, and the hope of what is to come! Is it Christmas? Noooo…It’s BETTER than Christmas! It’s BACK TO SCHOOL TIME! I know, I know. Some of you out there are weeping big ugly tears because your precious little bundle is…
From the Blooper Reel–A lost key
This past summer has been a strange one for us. Having a broken ankle definitely kept us home more than usual, but I was determined to not let it put a damper on fulfilling the summer bucket list the boys had made. On that list was camping. Thankfully, we heard of a family friendly camping…
Observations from the Medical Care World
So, I’m nearing the end of my fun with fractures–and I am VERY grateful. I got my new walking boot and NOTHING can stop me now (well…my Frankenstein walk slows me down a smidge). All of this time sitting and waiting for the healing got me pondering my experience with medical care. I don’t get…
Who Told You That?
“You are so stupid!” “Seriously! You are the dumbest thing on this planet!” “Shut up! My gosh, why do you have to blather on so much?! Don’t you realize how annoying you are?! “You are a waste of time and space!” These were the thoughts going through my head as I sat in my car…
6 weeks
So, a few weeks ago, I had surgery on my broken ankle (you can read all about how that came to be here). The Dr. told me that I would be in a cast for 6 weeks and then most likely upgrade to a walking boot. It’s fascinating to me that the whole concept of…
Why Daddy’s Are Special
As you know–Father’s Day was a couple weekends ago. It seems like every time Mother’s Day rolls around–the commercials ramp up for expensive gifts, flowers, and daily reminders to not forget your Mom and let her know how much you appreciate her. As a Momma, I really love this and I enjoy feeling special. But…
A slip, a slide, a snap, and a crunchy sensation
Two weeks ago, my boys and I were enjoying living the dream of summer life. One lazy morning, we decided to venture over to the local Walmart to pick up a few things. As we made our way to the front to pay for our items– they saw it: The H20 Triple slide Slip N…
