Coffee Break–Volume 19
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. A Trip To Trampoline World. Every year my boys make a “bucket list” of all the things they would like to do over summer break–a trip to Trampoline World is always included.

Coffee Break–Volume 18
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.A need to replace. I don’t like to have to replace things, but sometimes it’s necessary.

A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. A Snow Day. I’ve been cheated! I’ve been robbed! What kind of cockamamie weather system causes 12″ of heavy wet messy snow to fall at the end of May?! There was only 2 1/2 days left in our school year. 2 1/2! I…

1.How in the world is Pokémon played? I still don’t know. If you do–please teach me. This weekend Grayson wanted to play with me and suggested Pokémon. Guys, we played for like 20 minutes and I had NO IDEA what was going on. He could have been cheating me blind and I would have been…
Coffee Break–Volume 13
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Yard Stuff–This time of year is not my favorite. Not only is it major allergy season–it’s also time to do yard work. I don’t enjoy this at all–mostly, because I’m lousy at it. I feel like I spend hours and hours weeding, raking, planting,…

A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Cooking Class–Morgan asked me to teach him how to make his favorite rice this week. When I finally picked my jaw up off the floor (he never wants me to teach him anything), I gladly showed him how to make Fried Rice. His secret…
