Wow! Who would guess that only 7 months into a year and it feels like the year has gone to hell in a hand basket? A virulent virus, earthquakes in Idaho and Utah and word of killer hornets. Holy beeswax. I'm good to end this crappy sci-fi story anytime. Seriously. Last summer, to stay current . . .
I guess you can call that a feather . . .
Check out the photos below. Mmm, wondering what that spiffy specimen of Nature is? That pretty excuse of a feather made its way into our home, courtesy of Little Man. I appreciate Little Man's love of bugs, birds, sticks, rocks (SO MANY ROCKS) and many random creatures. Feathers also fall . . .
My personal gerbil wheel
Holy moly. It feels like I haven't been typing on this bad boy for eons! Honestly, it all began Tuesday, February 12. Around 7:20 in the morning, I had a very painful bout of gastritis (inflammation of the lining of the stomach) sneak up on me. I could barely standup to braid Little Lady and Little . . .
Oh the little things!
A couple of weeks ago, a group of five lovely women, myself included, ha, attended the Broadway musical Wicked. If you go to a an event, you need to go out to eat beforehand, correct? As we were breaking bread, we had a conversation about the somewhat recent service of ordering groceries online and . . .
Because there aren’t enough in the drawer.
There is this handy-dandy eating tool, known as a spork, that I believe everyone has encountered. It was possibly an accident like several things that make us happy (Post Its, bubble gum, etc.). However, it is clever. Eating mashed potatoes? No problem! Need to stab your salad with a utensil because . . .
Organization. Or, trying.
Many of you have probably heard of Marie Kondo, the organization guru gal. I bought her book (and I blogged about it last year), the life-changing magic of tidying up, read that bad boy and implemented some of her ideas. There was no way I could do everything at once, especially with three young . . .
Cute & cozy blanket!
This summer, I was perusing Pinterest when I spotted an adorable DIY flannel blanket, http://pin.it/ofposaloltbmcs . Very strange that this popped up in the summer, since we are always in the upper 90's or low 100's once July and August hit. But anyway, this blanket appeared and after I read how to . . .
Just one more!
We are definitely dog people. For proof, here's a list of our sweet dogs: *Chico and Muneco, two wonderful border Collie/Australian shepherd mixes from my family's ranch (we were their retirement program). *Tweed, a border Collie/Australian shepherd that I chose to adopt with 10 minutes . . .
Trick or Treat!
I have been hearing about Halloween costumes since February. No joke. Little Red is very enthusiastic about life in general, I totally appreciate that quality, and therefore, begins planning out her Halloween costume as soon as she's leaving her classroom Valentine's Day party for the day. Little . . .
Off to this school, then this school . . .
This school year, I've discovered that for absolute certain, the moms who told me that life only becomes crazier when you've not only got kids in school but in elementary and middle (then on to high school, of course), totally know what they're talking about. None of these women did it in a . . .
