It's been busy our way! We've been on the go since Saturday. We had to so some running around in preparation for Mother's Day. We made cards, bought flowers and a big cookie that was supposed to look like a tic tac toe board with hearts and "Mom" in the middle of it. However, on … Continue reading Recapping Past Few Days

Dancing Queen
My apologies for the late post today. Normally I post earlier, but the past few days we were a bit busy. This weekend my daughter had her dance recital. The recital features groups of all ages and is really fun to watch. Dress rehearsal This recital was divided into three "themes." The first was about … Continue reading Dancing Queen
My Funny Valentine Story
I like to bring Sam flowers. It's nice that you can go to almost any grocery store and find them. They're far from the quality you'd get from a florist, but they are perfect for an "I was thinking of you today" gesture. Anytime someone purchases something from our bank account, we get a text … Continue reading My Funny Valentine Story

That didn't stop us from celebrating. … Continue reading A Happy Weekend

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ..
Forgive me if I have blogged about this before. Every spring my yard seems to be filled with dandelions. Those stupid weeds! That's not the way the kids feel about them, however. They are "pretty" or "beautiful" flowers. They are fascinated by them. Yesterday, Ella was picking a special bouquet for mommy. Today, Andrew was … Continue reading Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ..

I've been struggling with a few things lately. I decided to listen to my own advice and take a step back and look around and appreciate the little things. So this past week, I put Ella in her stroller and we took a 2 and a half mile walk around the neighborhood. She loves going … Continue reading A Morning Spring Walk
