Life’s Little Moments

I got to enjoy a nice four day weekend over the holiday. One of the highlights was that my brother came up from Ohio to visit. Saturday it was just my brother and brother-in-law, but Sunday my dad joined us. It is a rare occasion for the three of us to be together. It was … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments →

Funny Memory

The above photo is exactly how I remember the cafeteria in K-Mart growing up! Somehow some coworkers and I started talking about the days when you could actually get a full meal at K-Mart (Or as my grandma called it, THE K-Mart.). As time went on, it became more of a counter that sold pizza … Continue reading Funny Memory →

Life’s Little Moments

It's time to look back at another week of happenings in the life of ... me. My daughter's front tooth had been literally hanging there for a good couple weeks just waiting to come out. She didn't want us to pull it out, so it sat there just dangling. She came home from school one … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments →

Guest Blogger: My Baby Brother (A Summer Rerun)

I revisited a blog that was written by my brother in 2019 this week. It made me laugh out loud again, just as it did when he first sent it to me. I thought I would repost because 1) It's always fun to have someone else write about you, 2) He's a better writer than … Continue reading Guest Blogger: My Baby Brother (A Summer Rerun) →

Friday Photo Flashback

I have to admit that I got a chuckle out of today's photo. My brother will probably hate me for posting it, but maybe he'll chuckle, too. I will wait while you laugh ... I know, we look utterly ridiculous. If I had to guess, this photo was probably taken when I was in 6th … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Life’s Little Moments

My brother took some time off from work last week and came up for a visit. Sadly, I worked most of the week, but we had some time during the weekend to catch up. The kids are always happy to see their uncles. We got to spend Friday evening with them before the kids went … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments →

Friday Photo Flashback

Today's photo was taken during one of my brother's visits home. I chose it because it is one of my favorite photos of my dad, my brother and me. It's hard to believe, but I think this photo is about 20+ years old. I'm guessing it was taken around 2006ish. I remember my brother, his … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Friday Photo Flashback

I stumbled on a picture of my mom yesterday and thought it would make a good flashback picture. The picture shows my mom holding on to the only cat who ever lived in their house. I remember the cat was named Callie and it never seemed to want to be near anyone but mom. How … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

‘Twas The Day After Christmas…

Hello my friend!  I hope that you and yours had a very Merry and Blessed Christmas!  We're still in recovery mode here. Christmas Eve morning started with Andrew throwing up.  Yay!  So we were up about 4am.  Ella was up shortly after that because of a bad dream.  It was an early start to the … Continue reading ‘Twas The Day After Christmas… →

Friday Photo Flashback

Well, the Christmas season is officially underway. I can assure you that I have NO plans to go out shopping today. I'm just built for stress like that. Anyway, since it is official, I thought I would search for a Christmas themed photo to feature. A while back, my brother put all of the digital … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →
