One really nice thing about big brothers being gone is it has allowed me to spend some one on one time with little brother. We have had lots of time to snuggle. While we have been at parks I have engaged with him and him alone. For nap times I have laid down next to him in his bed or…
The best mommy medicine that I know of is a girl’s night. Tonight I am having a group of friends from MOPS over to the house for desserts. I am excited to spend some time sitting around the table with friends sharing sweet treats and good laughs.
I have always thought of myself as a pretty independent person. I like to do things by myself and I am overall capable. Well, after the boys left on Friday I thought I would blow through my list of projects around the house that I have been wanting to get done. I mean why not, with only one kiddo home…
Today my oldest two left on a jet plane for San Diego for Papa and Gigi summer camp for two weeks, well – 12 days. You may all gasp with me… I let my babies get on a plane and fly to another state for two whole weeks. I can barely believe it myself. Yes, there are days that the…
I have been on the search for a while to a shadow box at Goodwill, why just Goodwill – well duh; I don’t want to spend all my money for a shadow box. This weekend I found this little treasure, it was dirty and ugly but I saw potential and for $4, I was able to buy it. For middle…

I know, I know… No one wants to hear about weather, however I am just always in amazement of the weather here in Colorado. We have lived here for almost six years and I still cannot get over the crazy weather systems that make up a day here. So two weeks age we had temps that reached the high eighties…
Didn’t plan on making a part two… but after a night of sleeping on some of the meat of the retreat I felt compelled to share some of the thoughts that struck me and some things that have been stirring in my heart. The word intentional has been one that a good friend of mine has been saying a lot,…
This weekend was the woman’s retreat for my church. I was a part of the retreat committee. I have only ever attended two retreats, one as an attender and then this year as a volunteer for the retreat committee. There is a lot that goes into retreat planning, and I was only a small part of it. Man, am I…
When I read books I go through a marathon of reading and then I don’t touch a books for months or even years. The last two months I read three books, granted three books in two months is not crazy but since the last time I sat and read was oh over a year ago it was pretty impressive. I…
