Washable rugs…
I don’t know about your house, but in our house, we go through rugs like crazy! Between the kids, our dog & bird, we regularly purchase area rugs, runners, doormats, etc. For the living room, it’s about 3 a year. And as our dog gets older, I hate that we’re going through them so fast–not…

i stopped wearing my apple watch…
I’ve been wearing my Apple Watch every day for the last 3+ years and this week, I took it off. When I first got it, I thought it was great–I’m notoriously known for leaving my phone everywhere & hard to get a hold of. So, the watch was the perfect solution. People could get in…

Sooooo ready for summer…
Our whole house–seriously, summer can’t come soon enough!! My son is ready for school to be over & getting him up in the mornings is getting to be more of a chore. My daughter is eagerly waiting for the beach. I’m just ready for a break from the daily grind. We planted our flowers weeks…

But in order for us to continue having excellent healthcare, my husband has to pay about $1800 a month through his employer. That’s $1800 a…

So far…
So, after all that worrying I did about my son, Dex, starting school…he’s been doing amazingly well. It’s hard to get him to eat and get dressed in a timely manner, but other than that, it’s been great. It’s been 2 weeks, and as crazy as it sounds, he’s been even better at home. I…

Real life…
Do you ever feel like you just have so much to say, but what you have to say is so difficult to put into words? I’m a writer. I’ve always been one. When I was young, I was regularly writing children’s stories, shorts stories… lots of fiction. I can write fiction. It’s the real stuff…

Letting our kids grow up…
My son started kindergarten today. I’m both happy for him and heartbroken, scared, etc. My husband & I met with his teacher, the school psychologist & principal yesterday to go over what the plan is for him and the evaluation for an IEP. He’s in a great school & they all seemed like they know…
