Tim and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary two weeks ago, on November 6th. I honored it in part, by being on the internet less that week, so this post is a tad belated. However, I still wanted to put these words out into the universe, in my space here. I love you, so much,…
The Dress-Up Box
A friend of mine was having a garage sale and I knew I could find a “few” things to contribute. I decided to start in the boys’ closet for cleaning out and finding some things to begin a pile in my own garage. Plus, I really needed to go through their clothing and switch some…
Old School Blogging, 5 Random Things…
I have seen this going around in the last few weeks so Nicole from Moments That Define Life and I figured we would make this the OSB topic this month. That way, if you have already done it you can link up too! If you have not done it, it is really a good one….
Moving On
One morning last week, in the crisp-ish Fall air, I took our puppy, Oliver for a walk/run in the park not too far from our house. There is a long and dusty or muddy (depending on how much rain we have or haven’t had lately) trail that circumvents the playgrounds, basketball courts and duck pond….
Halloween, Twenty Fourteen!
This Halloween included a photo shoot along with Mummy dogs and of course, Trick-or-Treating! This mural is on a game/comic book store not too far from our house and the boys were especially “game” (ha! I crack myself up!) to take their picture in front of it. After that we hung out in our…

InnoTab 3 Plus Learning Tablet {Review & GIVEAWAY}
There are a few (AHEM) devices around our house. There is one in particular that I bought for myself for my birthday a couple of years ago and it is this neat, little device that I can read on, write on and do a bunch of other things with. Unfortunately my children like to commandeer it…
Hey Ellen!
There’s an older man in our neighborhood that I met through the local running club (I was briefly a member) and he lives on the next street. EVERY TIME he sees me run or walk by his house he hollers, “Hey Ellen!” I guess when we were introduced he never heard my name correctly and I simply do…
