It is amazing what a little hard work, hanging flowers and colorful mulch can do to spruce up your house.
This project has been on our list for years , this weekend we finally checked it off the list! Woohoo! It is amazing how it adds so much to the front of our house. The color contrast alone is huge but getting the runaway grass out of [...]

Not Leaving My Day Job Anytime Soon
With three pooches it is a juggling act getting them all in for shots and grooming, especially when you try to spread them out so that the ‘sticker price’ doesn’t shock your finances too much.
This time however, our groomer got over-booked. Bennett and Zippy got in on time but, poor Piper’s appointment is still two [...]
Second Edition
Framed & Dry Walled
“The Wall”
After many ideas, designs and obstacles we decided to just build a partial wall along our steps. Had we been starting from scratch and not from a “Richmond American Homes” base, we would have done things a little more custom and fancy.
I am pleased however with our new look. I am am [...]
The Reading Bug
We have definetly been hit with the reading bug at our house. This bug has bitten all of us pretty hard. We may even have to add a new line to our family budget if this bug sticks around. Luckily, we have been able to hit great book sales or even find FREE books.
I am hoping that the Summer will not send our little bug away and that it [...]
Sprucing Up Our Tired Ole House: Fir...

Mother’s Day 2010
Being a mother is a very important role that the Lord chooses to give to many women. A Christian mother is told to love her children (Titus 2:4-5), in part so that she does not bring reproach on the Lord and on the Savior whose name she bears.
Children are a gift from the Lord (Psalm 127:3-5).
As we were sitting outside enjoying the lovely di [...]
Littleton Historical Museum
This week, I was blessed with being able to go with Hayden’s class on their field trip to the Littleton Historical Museum.
What a neat place to go to with your children. If you have never been, I would highly recommend it.
Although the day was a typical Colorado Spring day; cloudy and drizzly, we had a fabulous time.
A few highlights of [...]
First Landsharks Meet
There is nothing cuter than watching 6 year olds run. Seriously, they are just little balls of energy darting down the track. There are three categories of runners at this age.
The totally serious, who are out there to win, determination all over their faces.
The somewhat serious, who have great potential but are just having fun.
The to [...]
