Drinks and Snacks!
Over the last several years I’ve made comments to my family, especially my sisters, about the need for drinks and snacks. When we talk about traveling, I like to make sure we will have drinks and snacks. When we plan to be together for visits or events, I suggest drinks and snacks. The funny part…

Inspiration Saturday 06/06/15
Over the last four weeks I’ve written numerous entries on motherhood and parenting, but I can’t seem to complete a single one. I’ve been waiting to complete one so I can start blogging again. However, sometimes we have to put certain things on the shelf in order to move passed the place we are stuck…

On Being a Mother
I‘ve had 16 different jobs. In those jobs I’ve worked my very hardest. I’ve always tried to be the very best at whatever I did. I always joke that I am a supervisor’s dream because I love to follow rules and I’m dedicated and loyal to my employers. I do what I’m supposed to do…

My Top 5 Golden Rules

My Cancer Fairytale

The setting is loving parents and all the possibilities of the world, an ugly boy abandoned on the street tortured by all he encounters, or perhaps a past you would like to forget.

“…is the New Pretty.”
Last week I woke up and hopped on the scale. I totally freaked out because I was still 158 pounds. I have actually put ON weight since I’ve been working out. I haven’t been dieting or running, I’ve only been crossfitting. I’ve been going at it pretty strong over the last five weeks or so.…

Pre-Spring Break at Disneyland!
We are on spring break this week. However, being a homeschool family we had the opportunity to go to Disneyland the week before our local schools went out on their breaks. It was so wonderful and not crowded at all. We could walk easily through the park and went on our favorite rides a couple…

Once Upon a Time-Lunch Box from Hell
Once upon a time, I was a third grader. Prior to becoming a third grader, I was a giant fan of the Osmond Brothers. They were a group of singing brothers in the 60’s and 70’s. That’s for you young people who don’t know these boys. My mom took us to several of their concerts…
