Celebrating

March 8, 2023March 9, 2023

I celebrated another run around the sun today and all of your messages here, on Instagram, in email and via text made my day. I did the usual – carpool, work, cleaning, a walk – but still felt extremely happy, content and blessed. John had 5:15 AM practice which meant we could do a family dinner.

Afterwards they surprised me with my favorite strawberry cake, all the dog cards, a game from the puppies (they all laughed at the dogs picking Exploding Kittens for me) and a float from the boys.

I couldn’t ask for anything more.

I… Read More

Right now, the two water parks are alternating seasonally which one is open. Blizzard Beach will close next week… Read More

Listening Lately {We Were Never Here}

March 3, 2023March 3, 2023

I feel like I have become another victim of the digital age, unable to do just one thing at a time. So, while I love to read a real book, I almost always am listening to another book and at least one podcast. I tend to listen when the boys aren’t in the car and… Read More

Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day {Festive Door Hangers}

I got my festive door hangers put up over the weekend and was ready to usher in March. It has felt like spring here for a solid week and I am loving it! Since Honey was out of town, I hauled the small ladder out to hang the Irish flag buntings. I popped the shamrock… Read More
