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…

Coffee Break–Volume 55
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…
Coffee Break–Volume 54
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…
Coffee Break–Volume 53
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Mother’s Day. I had the BEST Mother’s Day this year. We got to go do something I’ve been longing to ever since the temps started getting warmer–go FISHING!!! Super Rockstar and I have a favorite spot we’ve been going to since long before…
Coffee Break–Volume 52
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.A fun thing we did. I realized last week that even though we are all VERY much together every day–my boys and I aren’t connecting very much. When they aren’t doing school, they immerse themselves in playing, I get busy doing my stuff and…
Coffee Break–Volume 51
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.More trail exploring. The trails around our home town have gotten VERY full lately, but that doesn’t stop us from getting our weekly dose of some outdoor exploring. This week we went to one of my favorite’s in Black Forest (I think it’s just…
Coffee Break–Volume 50
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Easter. As the quarantine goes on and on…..and on–it’s hard to do life as “normal” because it’s so very not normal right now. However, Easter was very much the same as every other year for us. We decorated eggs (Super Rockstar LOVES doing…
Coffee Break–Volume 49
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Grayson’s Birthday. We got to celebrate Grayson’s 11th birthday–it was WAY back on March 30th (like a million years ago now). It was a little sad that we couldn’t do his traditional party with friends, but Grayson has a natural born contagious…
Coffee Break–Volume 48
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Keepin em busy. Like most of you, my children are now home full time. It really hasn’t seemed too strange –since this past week was our spring break. Our school closed two weeks ago, but I’ve just mostly treated it like an extended…
Coffee Break–Volume 47
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Enjoying our trails. As long as it is allowed, I am going to head to my favorite trails and enjoy. The app “All Trails” is a great one to use if you’re unfamiliar with where to find good hiking/biking/walking spots in your area. Barney…
