  • Washable rugs…

    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…

  • How to be content with what you have…

    This is something I struggle with on a daily basis. But, it’s complicated. I love my family completely–I wouldn’t change a thing about them. What I’m talking about is material possessions. I feel like with so much social media, all we see are things we should have, want or strive for. We should aim for…

  • Sooooo ready for summer…

    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…

  • Mother/Son Night…

    Mother/Son Night…

    So, Dex & I went to our first Mother/Son night tonight through his school. My goodness, it was crazy!! I seriously felt like we were at a rave for kids. There was laser robot dancers, a crazy strobe light dance floor with a dj…laser tag, a Mario Party truck, trucks & k9 dog attacks. All…

  • Easy fencing!

    Easy fencing!

    September was super busy! With all of us still getting used to Dex being in school, we’ve been a bit sluggish. But, we’re also still trying to have as much fun while the weather is nice and with the weather changing, that means I’m racing to get all the home projects that I had planned…

  • A big problem with healthcare in this country…

    Isn’t it crazy that life would be so much easier if my husband & I divorced? Hear me out–we are considered to have excellent healthcare, so everyone keeps telling us. 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 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…

    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…
