A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Making Christmas–a Little Early. I used to be a staunch “wait until Thanksgiving is over before you decorate for Christmas” person. But, these days–our holiday schedule gets so busy–it makes sense for us to do it a little (ok a lot) earlier. It takes…

Coffee Break–Volume 114
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Boy #2’s New Bed. Super Rockstar just keeps cranking out the creative master pieces. This week, he completed Grayson’s log cabin themed bed–complete with chimney (that opens out so he can get to the top bunk), opening door, and a window that looks…
Coffee Break–Volume 113
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Halloween Traditions. We have several things that are a big part of our Halloween fun. First up is decorating pumpkin shaped cookies. Morgan and I tend to go for speed–just get it done. Grayson’s method is to put as much candy and sprinkles on…
Coffee Break–Volume 112
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Guys Only Getaway. This past week was fall break for my boys. Super Rockstar had been wanting to do a guys only getaway for a while and this was the ideal time to do it. They rented a cabin at a campground where Super…
Coffee Break–Volume 111
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Camper Bed for boy #1. We have been in the process of remodeling our boys’ rooms.

Coffee Break–Volume 110
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.My Mom’s Cooler Than Your Mom. I know your Mom is cool, but is she–“volunteer for disaster clean up” cool? Is she–“knows how to use a chain saw” cool? Is she– “lift logs and haul them away” cool? My parents have spent their retirement…
Coffee Break–Volume 109
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. A LONG awaited answer to prayer. Super Rockstar has worked for a wonderful place for over 17 years now. As with all work situations there have been good times and bad. But, this past couple years has been particularly bad. Two years ago,…
Coffee Break–Volume 108
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Celebrating 27 years of us. It’s hard to believe that 27 years have passed since Super Rockstar and I said “I do”. We were just young punk kids having no clue what we were doing, but believing with all our hearts, minds and…
Coffee Break–Volume 107
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Ladies Night. My friend Patti hosted another lovely ladies night–this time at Single Barrel I always enjoy these gatherings–not only do we go to a lot of places I’ve never been, but it’s just fun to get out, meet some new friends, and…
Coffee Break–Volume 106
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Something old my made new. I have been on the hunt for a roll top desk for a while. We found several options, but none of them seemed “the one” until Super Rockstar stumbled across one on Craigslist. It looked a little rough,…
