I love my house. I love my neighborhood. I love the school my kids go to.
BUT, last week, a house I’ve been curious about and have had my eye on for 7 years since it was first custom built went on the market . . . and for way less money than I would have [...]

What To Do
Lions and Tigers and Bears
A couple summers ago, there was a mountain lion casing the neighborhood . . . snatching up little dogs (no, I’m not kidding) and attacking larger dogs. We haven’t seen the lion for a while (thankfully!) . . . definitely hoping he’s gone!
Last night, or should I say early this morning, I was up around [...]
120 Minutes
Last week was our first full week of me working more days/hours, both kids starting soccer (3 practices a week total), school being back full-time, and Hubby being gone.
I QUICKLY saw my evenings getting out of hand . . . and me staying up WAY too late to try to get my stuff done, whatever [...]
An Alternate Universe
After finishing editing Hubby’s book, making a trip to the Boy Scout Shop, and dropping a laptop off at the smart people store this morning, I’m pretty sure my car got sucked into an alternate universe! Proof? You want proof?
I went to Target and came home with only ONE additional item that wasn’t on my original [...]
Daily Medals - Camping Edition
The Bronze Medal goes to the person that invented drain spouts on coolers.
I made the mistake of taking a smaller cooler camping last weekend since it was just me and Princess. The cooler did not have a spout! I was so annoyed. I vowed to go directly to the store and get a new mid-sized [...]
Decompress
This was my first actual 30-hour work week in 18 months. It was AWESOME! Great meetings to kick of a new HUGE project that I’m way excited about. So much less stress knowing I have some hours to actually work on the projects rather than get going Tuesday and put it all away Wednesday and [...]
Too Picky?
I’m a regular donator to Goodwill. I’d much rather donate my stuff to them than have a garage sale and try to make a few bucks. I’m also pretty particular about what I donate . . . I don’t donate broken things or clothes that have been too worn by my kiddos. Of course the [...]
Let The Games Begin
Literally.
Last week I suddenly started working 4 days a week instead of 2 . . . and by suddenly I mean my boss called on Tuesday and said “how many hours are you available to work for us?” I said “All I can give you is 30 . . . Tues-Fri 8:00-3:30. I have to [...]
At This Rate, Dude WILL Get It
I love my Jeep. We got it when I was 7 months pregnant with Dude. It’s taken the fam back to MN countless times - 1800 miles roundtrip, not counting the driving we do while we’re there. It’s got huge sentimental value to me. I drive the Highlander when Hubby takes the Jeep to the [...]
Two
I did day 2 of the 30-day Shred this morning . . . ya ya, I know that Jillian says you’re supposed to do 30 days in a row, but seriously - I can’t imagine there is ANYBODY who purchases this DVD that can do that 30 days in a row. For one, we have [...]
