I will be the first to say that I struggle with being a festive person. Don’t get me wrong I love festivities but it is a stretch for me to be festive. Since the mister and I have been married I have never gotten into the full decorating mode for Christmas. I have a desire to but when it comes…
For four years now our family has lived in Colorado. We spent one of those Thanksgiving back in San Diego so for other years we have spent Thanksgiving here. The first year we had Thanksgiving we did it big with friends and family. Then the next year we did just our family. Last year I was not in the mood…
Just some simple thoughts that have been bouncing around in my head the last few days… My motivation to get up and go to the gym at 5am is slim to none when I know that we don’t have plans for the rest of the day. Hence I have not been to the gym the last two days and don’t…
I have been a little behind on my photo editing so I have not been doing posts lately. Well I cleaned off my hard drive on my computer and now I have more room on my computer to upload and edit my pictures… so sit back and take it all in! A few weeks back the boys and I did…
Being that it is Thanksgiving vacation we headed to the zoo yesterday. We met some friends there and enjoyed the fall day with the wild animals… our five and then what the zoo provides as well! My friend and I kept laughing the entire time we were there, the kids were excited about the geese, the squirrels and the Christmas…
We live in a time where friends are more virtual than real. I have been seeing a lot of posts on Facebook lately of people being “de-friended” or being “hidden”. If these terms would have been talked about even ten years ago there would be a strange look. Now if you say that you have de-friended someone everyone knows exactly…
I have read a statement that has been coming up a lot lately in my mind’s battle… “The more you love a decision the less you will look to others to accept that decision.” I struggle in wanting to run to those around me and find the quick answer rather than sitting and prayerfully considering. I never felt like I…
Today is Halloween… nothing like stating the obvious! As a family we have decided that we will not participate at all in the festivities that are associated with the day. Often the question comes up to my boys, “So what are you going to be for Halloween?” Before my boys would look at me with questioning eye brows like, “What…
A few weeks ago I was out with some girl friends and the subject of my impending birthday came up. In less than a month I will be turning thirty… gasp! I know it can not be possible. My friends were asking what I wanted to do to celebrate the date. My response was pretty simple… get my hair cut…
Honest this post is not for those that faint of heart or those that are going to judge my mothering… Raising boys is a whole world that I am not at all sure about. I know that boys are dare devils. Just last week I witnessed some neighbor boys doing what I would classify as “stupid” some may agree others…
