I have been going through a love hate relationship with the winter this year. For some reason I have been feeling like I am soooo done with the snow. Granted living in Colorado is not the place to be then… snow can fall in late May and as early as September. The one nice thing about spring snow… I am…
With snow on the ground the boys and I headed to our local library. The boys sat in story time and then wanted to jet from there to get their books. I thought the boys would really enjoy the story time, they read a few books, sing songs and then have a letter of the day lesson… needless to say…
Last weekend at church was our “Go” weekend, simply meaning it was our missions emphasis weekend where one could sign up to help out with short term missions opportunities through our church. A strange sense of tugging began to creep into my heart. For the last ten years I have not once thought about going on or being a part…
I have been pinning and dreaming about painting walls in our house since we moved in here almost two years ago. I specifically have been asking about painting our master bedroom and making it a nice place for the hubby and I. Let me begin this by saying, hubby is not one for change and often tells me, “It’s fine,…
One of the great benefit of living where we do is there is a great recreation program. We have not been taking advantage of the pool the last three weeks because of brother’s ear surgery however we headed there on Thursday and spent two hours. That is two hours of getting two little boys tired enough that they both came…
March first and we woke up to a little snow flurries that turned into about an inch of snow sitting on the ground, the outside temperature never got above 28 today. Really?!?! Don’t get me wrong I love snow and I enjoy lazy days but after our teaser of a weekend with temps in the high sixties it is really…
This week here in Colorado we have had some crazy wind storms. One such wind storm made our swing set crash over… that was 850 pounds of wood blown over and destroyed. Like I said crazy wind storms! Well, the hubby and I are trying to decide if we make a claim with our insurance company or just calls it…
I don’t know about you but having people in my home has always felt a little stressful. I am always worried that people are looking at my house thinking, “Man, she ought to do…” or “Why isn’t that done better.” I know that sounds silly but it is the simple truth. Over the last few months I have decided to…
Big brother has had a four-day weekend and today daddy headed to work and I knew I needed to find things to keep three little boys busy. We have been trying to eliminate television watching time and tablet time… which we have been doing a lot of the last few weeks due to frigid temperatures and snow falling. This morning…
Back in October I found a Groupon for a canvas and cocktail place. I invited my Facebook friends to purchase along with me so we could have a girls’ night out. Two friends bought it but with the time running out I was only able to coordinate with one friend for a girls’ night out. We grabbed some dinner and…
