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 . . .
I heart fall
I've mentioned in the past how much I love fall. Yeah, part of that is because it's the beginning of the holidays that bring to mind roaring fireplaces, cozy blankets and hot drinks. Another reason, is that for my entire life, I have lived where there are four distinct seasons. I can't imagine life . . .
To have a pet squirrel or not?
Little Man has three loves outside of his family; Thomas the Train, the color green and squirrels. Yes, squirrels. Anytime we're driving, if there's a squirrel in my path when driving, Little Man yells for me to stop for the "squh-whoa". That's Little Man talk for squirrel. Anyway, this kid has an . . .
Here a ewe, there a ewe, everywhere a ewe, ewe!
With having ties to sheep, ha, my family volunteers every October (thinking this is year 6?) at the Trailing of the Sheep Festival held in Ketchum and Hailey Idaho. My sister has been in charge of the parade the past two years. Wrangling humans, horses pulling wagons and wooly critters, takes some . . .
Teeny tiny & funky!
The other day, Mister came in from the garden with a basket full of mini pumpkins that I'd completely forgotten about. I didn't ditch these because I'm a ding-a-ling, I forgot about them because the gourds were over achievers and completely covered these teeny pumpkins. We still have more of these . . .
More garden goodness!
This year has been something when it comes to everyone near us having a plethora of produce. We've exchanged garden produce at the gym and as I've mentioned in an earlier post, produce has gone to work with Mister, has been placed in the teachers' boxes at school, left at the staff lounges, . . .
Me want cookies!
Little Red and Little Lady have been pestering me since last week about wanting to make cookies. Coming off of the heals of our school carnival, which any school function for the masses is a lot of work and then our state having in-service days (3) where the kids are home but the teachers are at . . .
Track Tuesday!
My family is part of the Family Lions Club for our town and we work with the Lions Club fairly often. Beginning in September, the Lions Club began Track Tuesday for our families to practice for an upcoming relay race in the spring to benefit diabetes and the time to spend together participating in a . . .
A hairy hiatus!
Fall is my favorite season! I think it's because when I was little, when October hit, that's when my mom would bust out the Halloween decorations and Disney's Ichabod Crane would appear on the Disney Channel (we lived in the mountains and with only rabbit ears, you could maybe get one clear station, . . .
Cluck, cluck enchiladas!
This past weekend, I was bebopping through Walmart because the kids were at home with Mister, so I wasn't having to say no to sugar loaded foods that have packaging to encourage this behavior in children and, I had a hot honey latte in the car waiting for my return. The simple pleasures in life, . . .
