Whew! Back from a great trip, thinking back on it all, fondly.
If you know me at all, you know how hard it is for me to be away from my family. This year was no exception and probably was even a bit harder for this girl. Why? You may or may not wonder, but I am gonna tell you. Ha! This particular trip always falls on two very special birthday [...]

Summer 2014 – Concerts, Travels...
Whew! Back from a great trip, thinking back on it all, fondly.
If you know me at all, you know how hard it is for me to be away from my family. This year was no exception and probably was even a bit harder for this girl. Why? You may or may not wonder, but I am gonna tell you. Ha! This particular trip always falls on two very special birthday [...]
Fun times at the Sand Dunes
Sum, Sum, Summer time………..
Summer holds a dear place in my heart because I get to spend more time with my family. I enjoy the more relaxed schedules, the sleeping in a bit later, staying up a bit later and our little getaways.
I cannot imagine doing life without my best friend and our two little minions (and their friends). [...]
New Years Eve…..FUN!
In all of my years I have never really enjoyed big New Year’s Eve celebrations. It always seemed like a lot of hooplah or an excuse for people to drink and eat way too much. I am a hang at home, play games with the family, eat fondue kind of girl. That is how we have celebrated with our kids and have loved it. However, this past year, a [...]
Wednesday’s Wonderful Smoothie
In an effort to get more nutrients into my sweet peeps diets, I have been embracing the lure of smoothies. I mean, who wouldn’t rather have a smoothie over a salad, right?
I know that Kip and I have enjoyed getting creative with our fruit and veggies. Frequently, I will gather a concoction of ingredients and work them so that they are [...]
Day 890
Tonight, on our 890th day of our reading streak, we completed another book. We just finished a book by Sharon Creech, called Walk Two Moons, a Newbery Medal winner.
We discovered Sharon Creech, when our dear Aunt Frances sent us a box of her favorite books that she has collected over the years. Aunt Frances has always shared our love for ad [...]
Christmas Letter
We brought back our Christmas letter, I have always loved the letters that Kip writes. I am so thankful that he took the time to write one this year.
Merry Christmas. Sorry it’s been a few years since we’ve done one of these, but here we go.
As most of you know, in late June, a wildfire in Waldo Canyon destroyed several homes in Colorado Spri [...]
A Year in Review
I am so grateful for so many of my blogger friends, I love to read and catch up on their lives. I love how we can still influence each other even though we are miles apart. A few of them have inspired me to do a year in review. However, since it would take too long to write it out, assuming my brain could remember everything, I figured pickin [...]
Mo’s First Christmas
I have to admit, I was a little nervous when we put up our tree. I didn’t know what to expect with “Kitty, the cat”. He was an amazingly good cat! All he did was sleep under the tree, he loved it under there.
I know we will never get as lucky was we did if we were to ever get another cat. This cat, is so well behaved, I jus [...]
Christmas 2012
I don’t think that I am alone in this sentiment but I get a wee bit sad when Christmas is over. I just wish that spirit could last all year long. A spirit of love, kindness (most of the time) and giving of oneself to others. We did experience this feeling of giving and unity one other time this year, during the fires of 2012 in our area [...]
