If you have ever had the privilege of being invited to my parents house for dinner, you may have also been privileged to get to try my Mom’s amazing lasagna. (Or La Sonya as my Dad calls it) (we don’t know why he pronounces it this way–it’s just part of our lives). When my Mom…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.A week of rest.–This week was everything I was hoping it would be. After such a whirlwind month of March– with blizzards, birthdays and spring break, it was so nice to have a “normal” week. The boys were at school (only 2 calls from…
We have tacos at least once a week at our house–but not always on Tuesdays. To be honest, I think Super Rockstar could just rotate Taco’s, Spaghetti and Fried Chicken and be just fine. I know what you’re thinking–“I know how to make taco’s–it’s really not that hard.” That’s true. It is easy. But no–you…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Spring Break. Our school’s spring break always occurs exactly in between my boys birthdays.

A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Fieldtrip. I got to go on a fieldtrip with my younger son, Grayson, to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.

Here in Colorado, we got hit hard–an entire day of winds gusting up to 97 mph,…

A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. My friend, Robin. I mentioned last week (Coffee Break–Vol. 5) about a Bible study I go to each week. For the past 3 years I’ve been part of the same small group of amazing ladies. Some have come and gone, but there’s a…
For a long time now I have felt the need to search out other options for education for my boys. To be clear– I fully support our current school. Oh sure, we’ve had problems here and there, but the good has always far outweighed the bad. My older son Morgan has always struggled with school. …
If you’re needing a new twist on a home staple, Upside down Pizza is fantastic. A good friend gave this recipe to me twenty something years ago and it has been a family favorite ever since. The Ingredients. Brown the meat and drain. Mix the pizza sauce (or your favorite marinara) into the meat. Spread…
