A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Something New. We’ve had a chair and 1/2 in our family room for several years–it’s where Super Rockstar and I spend our evenings watching our favorite shows and movies. It’s also where he and the boys pile in to watch football or huddle around…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Winter Camp. My older son, Morgan, got an opportunity to go to a church winter weekend camp last week. One of his good buddies invited him and since the camp was taking place nearby (a place called Ponderosa–the same camp he’s been to before)–we decided…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Family Fun. In the few days we had before the end of our Christmas break, we tried to squeeze in as much family fun as we could. We decided to try out a new place that has opened up recently called Gaming To…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. STAR WARS!!!! Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was amazing! How can you NOT enjoy a Star Wars movie?

A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. It’s time. Every year Super Rockstar and I have a battle of wills on when we should decorate for Christmas. He’s pretty much ready to go as soon as Halloween is out of the way, but I’m more traditional. I have always insisted that…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.It must come down. We’ve lived in our neighborhood for 9 years now. We were the 2nd house on our street completed and have gotten to enjoy meeting each and every neighbor that has moved in over the years. We were all in the…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Snow Day #1. We ended Fall Break just in time for a snow storm to hit and give my boys an extra day off. Of course we went sledding and had a blast. 2. Pumpkin Carving. We have a tradition of carving our pumpkins…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. We just finished a two week Fall Break. The boys LOVED not having school and homework–and I have to admit–I did too. School breaks are when we have the opportunity to visit fun places and do things we normally don’t have time to and…
