Where I share a little bit of my life, my home, and the things I love best. Thank you for visiting.

Busy, busy….VA visit…Veteran pride

It’s been awhile…apologies. Life just happens and in that, Connor turned 14. Oh, how I love this boy! He has no idea how handsome he is. That is probably a good thing…snobbery is so ICK! We had a simple birthday of simply spoiling. xo We took a trip to visit my family in Virginia. It’s

A weekly check-in…

Our girls are really doing their job!!! I absolutely love our colorful eggs. My mom lets me know that their part of the world is completely done with this white stuff…aka, snow. For us, we didn’t get near enough so get ridiculously excited. I am sick of the cold temperatures and ready for spring but

Recent random happenings….

Sorry I haven’t posted….we’ve had a busy, busy sports season around here…..but, I’ll show you a few things that have been going on. I have some flower boxes we added to the fromt of our house last year…maybe the year before. …..my green thumb sooooooo needs some work….so I use what I can and found

Sickos and bedroom remodel…

OY….we’ve been terribly sick around here. From what I gather, a big portion of us have either been sick or can’t leave the house due to incredible amounts of snow. With that, we’ve been slightly messy around here with lack of giving one iota of care. It is what it is…we want our meds, our

More Random Happenings

We got a bit of a freakish few hours of snow last week. It didn’t last long but we probably got 4 or 5 inches and it was enough to satisfy my want of a wintry feeling though truth be told…I’m longing for porch days already! We did recently spot a pellet type stove and

Random Happenings

Hello, my friends. I hope this finds you well. The world is crazy but as I believe, and someone famous has said before (not sure who at the moment), …….Reality is something we should strive to rise above!!! We have crazy weather around here. While my father-in-law sends pictures of 2 feet of snow, we

Epic/Universal Florida

Christmas 2024 we gifted Connor and Sawyer a trip to Epic and Universal. We had talked about doing this trip…or actually, we had talked about going to Disney. The more we researched our options the more we realized that our 2 teen boys would enjoy Universal so much more. Epic ended up being a huge

A little about moi…

I’m starting a blog. AGAIN! Little by little, I’m defining what this space will be…not unlike myself. I’ve probably changed the format 5 times…spent countless days watching videos. I’ve made an entire blog adding old posts where I was ‘thinking-about-it’ and then got frustrated, changed themes, appearances, and then I was right back to what

Mornings at home…

I have a habit lately of waking up entirely too early.  When I do the math, I’m clocking in at around 5 hours of sleep, so I know this is probably near what most adults are experiencing.  If my thoughts are racing, I even need to take a trazodone just to get to sleep but

A new phone for pictures!

We had a really good new year and are off to a great start for 2026.  I’m challenging myself to a few things and have just had an amazing Christmas vacation.  We did a few fireworks (leftovers we couldn’t use this past 4th of July!) and had some of the neighborhood kiddos come over to
