I have been in such a fog for the last month that I let the summer season sneak up on me. I think between the late snow we had and all the things I have had on my plate with volunteering I had clouded eyes. Big brother had his last day of school on Wednesday and it hit me… I…
Hubby spent the weekend while I was gone working on the chicken coop that I have now coined the chicken taj mahal. I asked hubby to build a little bit of a bigger coop and he took some pictures and ideas that I had and turned up the notch about oh… one hundred percent. Silly hubby! And what would a…
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.

Little brother has been begging me for the last week to make play dough and with it being as nice and warm outside that it has been the last thing I want to do is give the boys a reason to play inside. Today we had rain and thunderstorms in the forecast so I told little brother we would make…
My kitchen bar and counter looks like a nursery. I cannot wait until I am frost free and I can get my plants out in the garden beds. I have quite a collection of plants that I grew from seed and a few starter plants I bought for two dollars. Today I also bought “wall-o-water” systems and I will plant…
We have been having some really warm days, this weekend hubby had to get the swamp cooler cleaned out and working because we hit 86 on Sunday and with a west facing kitchen and dinning room that makes for a hot dinner time. Hubby also got the sprinklers going in the yard and so the boys have been slipping into…
