I think it might be safe to say….SPRING IS HERE! I say “might” because around here Mother Nature likes to mess with our heads. I am so excited to get the ground ready for my garden and put flowers in the ground. Because there can be a funky last minute frost  before we are out [...]

Today is February 28, 2013 and if spring doesn’t get here soon I’m going to go nuts. Unfortunately, the weatherman called for snow. I shouldn’t complain really. Winters here in Central Washington are actually pretty nice. It’s not too cold, there’s enough snow for a snowman and sledding, and it doesn’t stick around into March. [...]

(Photo Courtesy of Google Images) There is a lot on my mind today. To make long story short, due to the economy my husband and I lost everything early in the crash. After losing our home in Las Vegas we became renters. We rented a house we thought was stable, met with the owners, and [...]

Image Courtesy of Google Images My house echoes. It makes me nuts and I have noticed my son Jackson has started to make “humming noises”. He is very sensitive to sound and often covers his ears when at the movie theater (just during previews), during the 4th of July, at car races, and even when [...]

I’ve read a lot of books lately, but I keep forgetting to post reviews! The most recent one (I finished 30 minutes ago) was Searching for Meredith Love, by Julie Christensen.  First, I’m a pretty quick reader so I should be able to plow through several books over Christmas break. Second, I have totally caved [...]

Here we are, only 2 weeks before Christmas and I have to say, I am very proud of myself J I have completed almost all of my Christmas shopping! I make that sound like a big deal, but really…it’s not. I only bought a few things for a few people, and my dear Pork Chop (aka hubby) [...]

  Ack! The holidays are here! Wait, I’m just not ready for this. I swear it was summer just a few weeks ago, and while autumn is my favorite season, I feel like I was caught off guard this year. Of course, I realize that time is the same as it was 20 years ago, [...]

I have a dilemma. It’s not even anything anyone can help me with either, so that’s even more frustrating. I feel like a whiner right now, but here it is: I can’t make up my mind. That’s it! Seriously! I agonize over my weekly menu and can’t do it without input from my family. Mostly [...]

Well, summer is over (despite all my kicking and screaming) and the kids are finally back to school (despite wanting them back in July). I had a wonderful summer and even though I was busy, I had a great time with my two young children. I am, however (like any honest parent), glad they have [...]

Book review time! I recently read Cades Cove by Aiden James, and I have to say….it was bad. Really bad. The protagonist stumbles across a mystery 100 years old and blah, blah, blah…it’s stupid. The dialog is totally unoriginal. The main characters seem to be talking to each other in sound bites from a bad [...]
