Friday was a bit of a bummer. Poor Ben was down for the count. He’s had a cough but Thursday night he threw up three times over night and was feeling terrible. Matt took the kids for their yearly checkups in the AM and then Tabby went onto school, but Been laid in his bed [...]
Favorite Printable: Tabby has been really into wanting to learn to sew – think she might get into these cute sewing practice cards! Favorite Savory Delight: We are having quite a few people over on Tuesday and I think some pulled pork in the crockpot is the perfect dinner solution! Favorite Funny: I do love [...]
Found this lovely bouquet in my bathroom when I got home today. Made me smile. Checked out a cool music class with Tabby this evening. I think we’ll sign her up and maybe Ben too. Matt is doing a science experiment for Tabby’s class pretty soon. It involves liquid nitrogen and making ice cream in [...]
This was our third weekend home in a row and it has been SO nice! We were busy of course, but it is lovely to be in our own beds with everything at our finger tips. Friday was swim lesson makeups, an hour in all! Matt took off early to make it there with the [...]

A couple of weeks ago, we had the pleasure of visiting my aunt and uncle at their mountain home in the pretty town of Granby, CO. The big feature of Granby, CO is Lake Granby and their house is right on the lake. In the summer we have a wonderful time boating, but in the [...]
Every single treadmill’s taken, By the hoards who’ve sworn off bacon. I’m very glad that they’ve resolved, But must my gym be involved? They’ve said good bye to bad fast food, so I say “hi” to ineptitude. They don’t remember to re-rack weights, they prune and preen and look for mates. All I want to [...]

The kids are going just a leeetle mad and the darlings are refusing to nap which is exacerbating the situation. But it [...]
