One More Older and Wiser Too!

This week we celebrated our #2 daughter's birthday.  This daughter is amazing (as are all my children).  She had a high bilirubin count when she was born.  She slept in a suitcase with a bilirubin light for several days.  She was a very easy baby... goo at sleeping and eating. As she grew she was… Continue reading One More Older and Wiser Too!

Phew! That Week Went By Fast!

Snap!  I started this blog post at 6 in the morning on Friday.  I really did.  Then it was time to get my day started (I did take a little time for myself and visited my friend Julie for a good chat and a great massage... thanks Julie!) and to the high school to get… Continue reading Phew! That Week Went By Fast!

Satisfaction Saturday

I love Essential Oils…

Today I have have to say how satisfied I am with essential oils.  I have used oils for years and I have many reasons why I have done away with a medicine cabinet and filled my house with sweet smelling oils. They WORK!  I really don't know what else I can add to that that… Continue reading I love Essential Oils…

Rolling Through Another Week

I am not good at taking pictures.  Family Friday is hard to do when you don't take pictures... also hard to do when we are all busy that we don't really see each other through out the week. This week John has been working overtime... well, at least some very long hours.  His project at… Continue reading Rolling Through Another Week

Family Adventures

The last couple of weeks have kept us all busy... very busy.  Lilli goes to school (something she isn't always thrilled with), Hannah reads tons and goes to work at Jamba Juice, I go to the high school to help with class and to work on Addams Family, and John has been working late working… Continue reading Family Adventures

A Letter to My Daughters

I actually started this post long before my day started and my #2 daughter called, stressed with being a parent.  "It must be fate," I thought to myself. Dearest children... parenting is hard. Most people don't want to admit it - out loud.  What if someone thought you weren't being a good parent or didn't… Continue reading A Letter to My Daughters

September is Off and We are Running

September is off and running.... and we are running!  I've started building the set for Addams Family the Musical.  The show opens in 7 weeks.  Holy Cow!  So much to do!  At least I am getting kids to come and help.  My friend John Hatch is helping a ton too.  This is going to be… Continue reading September is Off and We are Running

Amazing Little People are Getting Big

Today for Family Friday I have to celebrate two little people that always make me smile. Tomorrow this handsome little guy will turn 1 year old! A year ago this weekend, I drove away from Beckett's house, leaving his proud, yet exhausted parents and his older sister behind to love and care for him.  I… Continue reading Amazing Little People are Getting Big

Warrior Wednesday

Warrior Mom

Today's Warrior Wednesday is dedicated to my friend Callie, and all other women who brave the birthing process that brings life all of God's sons and daughters on this earth. I woke up this morning to see a Facebook post that Callie had her baby with the help of her family and the paramedics at… Continue reading Warrior Mom

This Week Eclipsed the Summer!

John took a couple of days off work over the week.  He did a little work on the house. He hired a helper to help him clean moss off the roof.  They made it a little ways before the day warmed up and they had to get down.  Still some work to do.   He… Continue reading This Week Eclipsed the Summer!
