Recapping Past Few Days

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 →

Brief Life Update

This week, while it has been nice to have some new features to post here, I feel like I haven't really told you what's been up our way. It's been a pretty busy week or so. I had the chance to spend the day with my daughter this week. We went to lunch at McDonald's … Continue reading Brief Life Update →

I Smell Like a Shamrock!

Ok, to be fair, I don't know what a shamrock smells like. I tried to look it up on Google and got answers like: "...the fresh scent of lush, green hills kissed by a sparkle of sunshine..." " ...shamrock's smell like freshly poured Guinness, of course!" "...Shamrock kinda just smells like dirt and grass..." For some reason or another mint … Continue reading I Smell Like a Shamrock! →

No Shake For You!

After I took Ella for bloodwork recently, we drove thru the McDonald's.. I had promised her a Happy Meal for lunch. Now, I rarely eat at McDonald's. If I do, I might get a Fish sandwich. I'm just not a big fan. However, I'm a sucker for a Shamrock Shake! After ordering her lunch, I … Continue reading No Shake For You! →

Christmas 2022 – A Look Back

Hello, my friends. When I last blogged, we were gearing up for a big snow storm. While we didn't get as much as they were saying, roads were still dangerous and as a bonus we got our white Christmas. I had to laugh at something I saw on Facebook, and had to share here. This … Continue reading Christmas 2022 – A Look Back →

Now I Never Have to Go There

In a recent conversation with my brother, I was informed that Starbucks does not have their Egg Nog Latte on the holiday menu this year. This was a major disappointment. In all honesty, it was the ONLY reason I ever ventured out to Starbucks voluntarily. I suppose in the fall, I might go there for … Continue reading Now I Never Have to Go There →

The Heart of the Matter

Andrew and I were up extra early this morning. We had to make the hour trek south so that he could get his echocardiogram. His sleep doctor wanted to be sure that his heart was ok. Obstructive Sleep Apnea can cause big heart problems, and since his apnea is severe, she wanted him checked out. … Continue reading The Heart of the Matter →

A Holiday I Like a Latte!

It's a Brew-tiful day for a cup of Joe! It is National Coffee Day (Not to be confused with International Coffee Day which comes up on October 1)! Pour yourself a cup of Go Juice, Go Go Juice, Bean Juice, Brain Juice or Jitter Juice and guzzle that Java! In celebration, many places have some … Continue reading A Holiday I Like a Latte! →

Nice Day For A Birthday and a Half

Monday is usually my day for getting stuff done. I do laundry. I fold laundry. I load the dishwasher and run it. I pick up the living room and vacuum. I clean up the kitchen and clear the counters. None of that got done today. My day started with getting Andrew out of bed, fixing … Continue reading Nice Day For A Birthday and a Half →

“Old McDonald’s”

Our baby girl can really make us laugh. For dinner tonight, the plan was to make chicken nuggets and French fries in the oven. I was in the front room and I hear the following conversation between Ella and Sam: Sam: We're going to have chicken nuggets for dinner, tonight. Ella: Old MacDonald's? (Ella will … Continue reading “Old McDonald’s” →
