So my little Princess has been grounded since Wednesday. She was supposed to be grounded just until the end of today, but yesterday, she earned herself a grounding all the way through Sunday.
What did she do? She lied. Not a huge lie or anything . . . just a bunch of little lies. We even [...]

Grounded
Crackers and Cupcakes
On my typical Monday morning yesterday, I was volunteering in Princess’ 1st grade classroom. One of the things they were working on was identifying cracker (dry, boring) words and changing them to cupcake (fun, exciting) words. So the sentence “My mom is very pretty.” would end up being something like “My mom is extremely beautiful.”
Last night [...]
I Laughed So Hard I Wiped Out
Princess and I went to Breckenridge this past Saturday - Hubby stayed home with Dude because he didn’t feel well that morning We met Queen Taunya, our friend Betta, and her coworker Eddie from California for a day on the slopes. We had a GREAT time. It was pretty chilly with the wind and [...]
The Ear Saga Continues
My little Princess has been saying “what?” “huh?” “I didn’t hear you!” a lot in the past month. Is she having ear issues, or just a 7 year old girl with attention issues?
Given her past ear issues, I decided to take her to the ENT to get her ears checked out.
She has hearing loss in [...]
I’m Just So Happy!
The fam went snowboarding/skiing last weekend. Beautiful day. Good times were had by all. Even though Princess could get down the hill twice as fast as the rest of us, she chooses to follow me “so she doesn’t get lost.” On one of our first runs, she is squealing and whooping and hollering all the way [...]
364 Days Until We Do It Again
We just got back from Princess’s birthday party! She celebrated her 7th birthday - 7TH BIRTHDAY! Seriously, 7? Her birthday isn’t until December 22nd, but we always have her party a couple weeks early before everyone leaves town or has family visiting.
Her morning started out with a bit of a bummer . . . he [...]
Lesson Learned
Princess is finally feeling the pain and realizing the lesson she’s learned.
So we went to Texas for Turkey Week to visit some dear friends who moved there in June. When on the airplane, we usually sit two and two - Dude and Dad, Princess and Mom. For some reason on the way home, we had [...]
Waiting Patiently
So while Dude was waiting patiently to get the badges and pins he never received, Princess was waiting patiently for the whole thing to be over. They’re both so good when they have to sit and wait for the other one’s stuff! This is what Princess does while she waits . . .
It never ceases [...]
Did I Seriously Do That?
Princess’ first conference for 1st grade was partially student-led; she sat with us and the teachers and showed us some of her work and read some stuff to us. One thing I love about her teachers is that even in first grade, the kids have to do a LOT of writing, and they are expected [...]
Out of Your Comfort Zone
I just love this picture of my little Princess. She’d just hiked 3 miles up a trail to get to 10,089 feet. She had whined a bit on the way up and wondered why we had to go “all the way up to the top.” I told her we didn’t HAVE to do anything . [...]
