Many May Blessings
Some days when you think you just cannot make it through the day, life gives you a reality check.
1. I am so grateful that my children have chosen good, respectful friends at school.
2. I am equally grateful that they have had great teachers this year.
3. I am blessed beyond belief for the husband that I have, who loves us and provides for [...]
Don’t Fear the 3:00AM Monsters
Everything is so magnified and dramatic when you are tired, half asleep and the sun is not out, isn’t it? I am convinced this is when Stephen King gets his best material for a new book.
Well, I had one of those mornings this morning.
It all started last night as we were getting ready for bed. Our ‘letting the dogs out one last t [...]
You Can Always Count on Friends
I am not a person who can easily ask for help, it is usually my very last resort. But, with the insanely full week I am having I was blessed with some really great friends. My neighbor took H & G for 1.5 hours this afternoon while I went to set up our annual garage sale. Daddy got home, to feed and transport G to me so that I could take [...]

Fun Coininkydink
I wonder if it was a vibe or a family thing. But, today we had a couple possible options on what to do for dinner. When all was said and done, our craving for our favorite pizza won. We asked our family friends to meet us at Guiseppies for dinner. After a great dinner and fun with friends we loaded our family up in our car and were ready [...]
Heaven Sent
Anyone who has kids knows how wonderful being a parent is, even during the more difficult seasons. That being said, I am amazed how easy it is to get wrapped up in a difficult phase and how it can consume you with worry, guilt and fear. (That probably will never change, right?) As parents, we want what is best for our children; we want the [...]
Spring Break
Day One: 61 degrees, no snow – yet! Lovely, sunny, warm. Outside most of the day. Playing, a walk to Grandma’s house and back, more playing outside. Wonderful day!
Day Two: 65 degrees, breezy but warm. Went to Grandpa’s office for the morning, had lunch and played outside with good friends. “This is a gre [...]
Gigi or Not So Much?
One afternoon, while playing quietly on her own, or so we thought we found our silly girl hanging out with her K-9 pals and a friend that appeared to look just like herself. In fact, this ‘person’ had even taken her clothes. Take a look…

March
I don’t know if I am the only person who has had trouble this year. But it seems really strange to have Palm Sunday before Saint Patrick’s Day, and Easter all in the same week. Add to that Spring Break and that equals a fully loaded MARCH.
What will we all do in April?
In our little world, there are several signs that Spring is defin [...]
