We ventured out to our little, local zoo today for some Easter-y fun. They host an event with a cute little egg hunt and photos with the Easter Bunny and music, etc. Essentially the kids help pick up recycled eggs and then trade them in for chocolate. It’s a pretty good system, actually. We rode…
Nurturing The Soul of Your Family
Do you have the perfect family? Admittedly, I do not. On the outset we probably look that way. Three cute blonde kids, a Mom and a Dad. Pretty photos, vacations, stories of love and time together. And we have all that, we do, but it’s FAR from perfect. We also have yelling and fighting and…
What’s Next?
As I think all of you know, my kids are growing up. I’m not sure how quickly you think they are growing from your perspective, just looking at photos, etc. but for me lately, it certainly seems like the Grow-O-Meter is set at “Warp Speed”. The B Man will be 9 years old very soon. I remember…
Things Overheard in my Swagger Wagon
There is really no need for any other form of entertainment in our van during short trips around town like to school or soccer practice or a dentist appointment. Not when you have awesome convos like these going on… “Mom, is God a ghost?” “No, bubs, he’s a spirit.” (after saying this I realized they are kinda…
GWL
Now that I (and my van) have mostly recovered from our four-day road trip I can share with you all about it. Traveling with kids can be exhausting, but especially so when you take them to a place where you are “going” pretty much the entire time you are there! We whisked the kids off…
L.O.V.E.
I remember when I was a little girl and my Daddy would bring my mom a big heart-shaped box of chocolates for Valentine’s Day. He would hand it to her in the kitchen, while she was cooking dinner and right after he got home from work that day. Sometimes he would have flowers too and…
Just One Day
I have wanted to do this for a long, long time and I finally did it – I documented an entire day in photos! I used both my Nikon D90 and my iPhone 4S, for when we were out-and-about. This was our day last Thursday, from beginning to end. I’ll let the pics speak for…
Time
I have three hours to myself right now as I lay here and type. Actually it’s down to about two hours and 20 minutes. I’m not feeling so “hot” today and Tim left for a guys trip/business trip and it’s just me and the kiddos for a few days. We have plans to hit up…
My Little Spies
Last Friday afternoon the boys were in the living room playing on the Wii for a bit. I usually let them play some after a long week at school. But around 4:30 I hollered from the kitchen into the living room and told them it was time for our walk. From B: “Okay, let’s go….
Just because…
The rest of the title for this post should be “I feel like posting about this and that and the other”. But I thought that was really TOO long. Like the run-sentence of blog post titles, ya know? Yes, this post is going to be a bit all over the place. In the spirit of…
