Awesomeness
My family rocks! So I was a little bummed last week on my birthday because I was booked from morning until night with work, cross country practice, soccer practice, and Boy Scout meetings. Basically I was pouting because of my non-event birthday.
QT felt bad for me, so we scheduled manicures and pedicures for Friday the [...]
Individual Chicken Pot Pie
Who says I can’t cook? When my Princess comes home and says “Mom. I REALLY want chicken pot pie for dinner” I am the sort of person who hops to it and makes it happen - and I do it from scratch!
OK - I don’t really hop to and make whatever my kiddos want, but [...]
A Bug Up His Butt
Dude is active. He loves to be outside - like all the time. Rides bike. Hikes. Swims. Generally plays.
He is starting middle school in 3 weeks - ack and ACK! Last week, he informed me that he wanted to start running with me and Duma in the morning. I mentioned that would require him to [...]

I volunteer in their classrooms during the school year mainly so I can get to know their teachers and the other kids in the class. It’s nice to know who they’re talking about when [...]
Yummy Saturday Afternoon
Life is sweeter with a BFF who lives across the street.
It’s All Good
Whew - May was a whirlwind! I’m just thankful it was a good whirlwind and not a tornado whirlwind. My heart goes out to everyone affected by the tornadoes and flooding . . . I can’t imagine!
Here at the Boedie Abode, May is already almost over and we’re looking ahead . . .
Hubby turned 40 [...]
So The World Didn’t End
And since we thought it would, we went out and bought a new 4Runner to replace our dead Jeep . . . sheesh, had we only known the world wasn’t actually going to end.
OK - obviously not true. But we did buy a new 4Runner to replace our dead Jeep. We ended up selling the [...]
