A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Barney’s Recovery. Our dog, Barney, had a mishap back in December. He was jumping around in excitement over the prospect of going for a walk and ended up tearing his ACL. It’s been 5 weeks since his surgery–poor guy had to have his…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Barney’s Decorating Tips. I always place baskets of poinsettias on either side of our front door at Christmastime. I noticed that for several days in a row, one was pushed all the way under our nearby piano. At first, I blamed our boys…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.The last week of school. What a drastic difference my boys had in their last week before Christmas break.

A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.So much to be thankful for. I know, I know Thanksgiving was like 100 years ago. I’m a little behind on my Coffee Break post, but we have so much to be thankful for and I didn’t want it to slip by. This past…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Making Christmas–a Little Early.

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…
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…
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. Morgan is really wanting to learn how to go hunting and he also loves camping –so his room is an outdoor theme. He asked his Daddy to make…
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…
