Seriously, this little monkey man is too crazy for words. He was up in out Lilac bush the other day hollering for me to come take his picture. Now can you see why that poor bush has done so poorly? 😉 He and Qade have decided that this is the “monkey tree” and whenever they …

Green thumb in training
So recently Stu and I decided that we were tired of having nothing in our yard but sand and weeds. He is redoing our retaining wall, and it looks awesome with the new red blocks!! With that step in progress we were motivated to continue the pretification process of the rest of the yard as …
eclipse
This is how I viewed the eclipse. 🙂 I remember watching an eclipse as a kid in Glenwood Springs and this is how we did it. Since I took one momentary glance at the sun/moon and thought my eyes might be damaged for life, I opted this method again. 😉 Just poke a little hole …
Big Girl
Someone in our house does not like to sit in a high chair. Can you imagine who it might be? Never mind that it makes everything the perfect height and makes it easier to reach food and drinks. And this certain someone would NEVER think of throwing ALL her food on the floor whenever she …
Pretty Girl
Ella’s Aunty Tiff is an amazing jewelery maker!! Wow! I’m always impressed by the new stuff she comes up with. Very creative. The last time she was here she brought these crocheted necklaces. Yep, you heard that right, they are crochet, with wire and beads!! They have been parked on our kitchen bar and since …
My Thoughts on Sugar
So I’m not a nutritionalist, and if one were to read this they’d probably just laugh at my ignorance. 🙂 That’s okay, I’m not trying to be all knowledgeable, just sharing some conclusions that I’ve come to. Oh and they’re not set in stone of course. Just like most fitness “advice” that we’ve all seen …
“Mawwage”
Last night when I was praying with the lads before bed it was Myles turn, and he was praying in his customary fashion with eyes wide open “thanking” for anything he could see. He happened to be facing a bookshelf with photos on it and his prayer went something like this, “Dear God, thank you …
Who Knew?
Last year I learned something about a bush that grows in our backyard. My inlaws told me that it was indeed a Lilac bush. HUH? After living here for 5 years you’d think I would know that. Here’s the thing, it has NEVER bloomed. Not one itty bitty bud of a Lilac flower had I …
Fitness Challenge- Join moi
So my fitness challenge that started in March wrapped up on Mother’s Day. Funny timing, huh? SO after my thoughtful hubby told me to “keep sleeping” when my alarm went off, I took my measurements once I did wake up. 😉 I was somewhat nervous about this “after” proof from the challenge, but boy was …
At Home
You remember our quirky cat, right? Recall how we rescued him from a city shelter? Recall too how he had some very unpleasant quirks, such as using the tub for his littler box and toilet for his water bowl? He also did strange stuff like dig a hole in the snow on the roof and …
