A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Our first snow. Yes it’s still summer. And yes it snowed this week. It was beautiful though–and came at just the perfect time too. We have had several forest fires going on in our state that caused smoke to drift to our city…

Coffee Break–Volume 65
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Happy 26 Years! Super Rockstar and I said “I do” 26 years ago on September 3, 1994. We have enjoyed a lot of fun of adventures, but by far the best one has been being parents to our two boys. No one knows how…
Coffee Break–Volume 64
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Books I’m reading. For my self help/inspirational book I just finished Jesus the One and Only by Beth Moore–it is a great book tracking the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. I thoroughly enjoyed it. For my learning book, I’m reading one called Getting…
Coffee Break–Volume 63
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Gig night. It seems that these nights out for live music have become rare. Boot Barn Hall is one of the few venues in town still booking bands and we are SO grateful. SofaKillers put on their first full gig since the rona…

A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Lost Island Adventure. If you are looking for a great local place to have a fantastic time–head to Lost Island Adventure. They are fully open with two fun and challenging miniature golf courses–complete with numerous dinosaurs and even King Kong, an outdoor inflatable…
Coffee Break–Volume 61
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Cheap Entertainment. Last week one of our neighbors had a garage sale and I scored two things I’ve been on the hunt for–a badminton set and croquet set. I got both for $5.00. You may be wondering why I would be in search for…
Coffee Break–Volume 60
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Drones. We were out doing one of our favorite summer activities–going to garage sales–a couple of weeks ago and my youngest spied a box that contained a really cool looking drone in it. The lady selling it noticed his interest and told him…
Coffee Break–Volume 59
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…
Coffee Break–Volume 58
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…
Coffee Break–Volume 57
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…
