So often we hear the phrase, "Where one door closes, another opens". Sometimes I like to say, "If no door opens, jump out the window!" We walk around looking for some imaginary sign of where we should go. If only it where that easy. Many times we put up walls to put our fears at rest. We…
My oldest passed out in our bed this morning. He looks so small, I wish I could keep him just like this. He's getting so big! My youngest is a little hotheaded genius. Nothing gets by him! He does it his way, by himself! Both so different and wonderful. Both with pieces of us. We…
Snowmageddon // day five. Finally made it out for the first time since Friday... Gained more healthy food, lost a hat. Burned 1900 calories and pulled 6 muscles trying to drag two kids through the snow. We get to drive the "car shopping cart" yaaaayyyyyyy (dying inside). Searched for sanity, found more obnoxious…
It's day four of Snowmageddon. The things that were fun the first day are no longer fun. There's muddy slush throughout the house, everyone is sniffling cold and we have yet to leave the house. We are grateful for our warm home but right now... cabin fever is in full swing. So sled riding yesterday…
So we've eaten too much bacon, freezed our tails off shoveling, survived on coffee & mimosas and had some fun too. Snow days can be pretty cool! Grateful for a warm home with family and food. Stay safe everyone!
Did you know we are on YouTube?? If you're snowed in this weekend, head on over to our channel for some quality craziness. Happy Friday & Stay Safe!! https://youtu.be/erq4ggD4s8s
A while back I had said we were FINALLY going to paint our bedroom. My husband could smack me because he does so much, but as always, he's got mad daddy skills and it came out GORGEOUS! Before: Wow, that's... green. I love green but not this one. It looks like a very sad Christmas. So…
A good man is a hard working provider for his family. A good man risks everything and puts others before himself. A good man comforts you in strong arms and makes you feel safe. A good man is loyal, loving and kind. A good man does all these things not because he has to but…
What most people don't know is I've been writing for a while. Since middle school actually. My Pap was one of the people who always encouraged me, but I never felt it was anything more than a hobby. I kept journals, worked through hard times and celebrated happiness. Once I became a mom, it was…
What's super easy, delicious and (semi) healthy? This dish. You will need approx. 6 chicken breast, 2 c. Italian bread crumbs, 1 c. olive oil, 2 cloves garlic chopped, 6 slices mozzarella, 3 roma tomatoes, salt, pepper. This is all approximate. I'm a "little of this, little of that" kinda gal. Use your best judgment.…
