YAY! Today was the last outing for our Brownie troop. We had a great year, accomplished a lot, and had a lot of fun, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t happy that Horseback Riding today was our last get together for the year.
BOO! I had to go take all the “stuff” out [...]

I like to get up and take Duma for a run in the morning. OK, that’s a lie. I don’t necessarily like to get up, but I do like taking Duma for a run in the morning. Gets my day going. Makes her happy. Takes one thing off my to do list before the day [...]

After not getting to try pitching much last season, Dude has made it to the mound. Somehow over the winter he started throwing a ball hard and accurate, without ever practicing. He’s so excited he can barely stand it!

GO TWINS!

No actual pictures of Easter . . . it SNOWED! We have more snow on the ground at the moment than we had for Christmas! We considered, for a moment, going up to the mountains for the day . . . but decided to be adults and get the stuff done we needed to before [...]

Whoever invented the dreaded snack schedule be sentenced to a lifetime of providing snacks for [...]

The Boedies are still alive and well . . . and having so much fun we can’t stand it!
Little League started - I somehow got roped into being the Assistant Coach for Dude’s team. I’d like to say I don’t know how that happened, but I know exactly how it happened. Coach asked if I [...]

No. Nobody got sent to “the doghouse” Buy my Jeep is way happy to be sleeping in the garage again! Yup - we FINALLY actually  for real life finished the forever long laundry/mud room project. We had kind of a goofy setup . . . the laundry room was normal and fine and good-sized [...]

Since December 24th, my beloved Jeep has been sleeping outside rather than in the garage. Anyone who knows me knows how unacceptable this is . . . if you have a garage, vehicles go in it.
Hubby got a hankering to finally start the remodel of our laundry/garage/mud room. We have this older home (1979) that [...]

Lent starts tomorrow . . . Jason and I have been talking about Lent and what it means and why you do what you do, etc. I told him I’m giving up sugar again (clarification - I don’t eat or drink anything with sugar as one of the first 3 ingredients). He said he wanted [...]
