A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Messenger Kids. So, our boys are both now officially middle schoolers (sob!). With them getting bigger, they are most definitely wanting bigger (and much more expensive) things, more responsibility, and….technology. We are holding off on getting them their own phones for several reasons, but…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Our favorite parks. We’ve lived in our neighborhood almost 10 years and have several parks we frequent–especially in the summer. It’s so bizarre to see my now gigantic boys effortlessly scrambling up and around play structures that seemed like such death traps when…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. A real live gig–FINALLY! It’s been 111 days since SofaKillers played a live gig and it just so happened that they got to have their first gig back at the last place they played–Boot Barn Hall. What a fun time! With many restrictions…

A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Camping! We FINALLY got to take our first camping trip of the season. We went to our favorite spot just outside of Lake City, CO. It’s quite a drive from Colorado Springs (about 4 1/2 hours), but it is SO worth it–some of…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Puzzles. We decided to jump on the “let’s do a puzzle as a family” bandwagon. We chose one from The Mandalorain with baby Yoda (I thought Grayson was going to faint with excitement). It’s only 500 pieces, but it may just be the…
I got this recipe from Beth Moore’s blog years ago. She encouraged her followers to contribute their favorite recipes and I think there was even a cookbook born out of it. I didn’t buy the cookbook, but I did copy down her husband, Keith’s, recipe for King Ranch Chicken. I’ve included the page I printed…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Hard workin boys. Last year we took down the pirate ship Super Rockstar had built for our boys (you can read that here)–this left a nice space for something new. Super Rockstar has been wanting to put a shed back there for a long…
Let’s talk for a minute. Remember WAY back in January when I told you about making a list of Goals Not Resolutions? (you can read about that here and here) I was so young and naïve then. Sigh. Those were good times. So, what should I do now? Scrap the list? Re-write it? Or….is it…
This is a Trim Healthy Mama recipe that I’ve been making for a couple of years now. In my quest to eat healthier and cut most sugar out of my life–I have found that they are a good resource for healthy recipes that taste good and that don’t make you want to cry (I should…
