I’ve written a couple of times about the projects we’ve been doing around the house with my new found enjoyment of working with wood, and so I thought I’d share all of our completed projects after our latest. Enjoy! Continue reading

“Don’t blink!” They say…“before you know it, he’ll be graduating high school!” Well…he may not quite be there yet, but tomorrow my son heads off to “Kinder Camp” for a week to learn a little bit about his new school before he goes for real in about a month. We’re definitely feeling a mix of emotions in our house, but the feeling I feel the most right now is pride. Continue reading
I’m a people-pleaser. I’m a peacemaker. I like everyone I interact with to be happy and to think I’m a good person. I don’t like to rock the boat. I don’t like confrontation. I don’t like to make people mad or upset. I especially dislike disappointing people. My greatest fears seem to be the triumvirate of hurting, disappointing or angering other people.

We definitely enjoyed the run of great weather we had to start the month of May around here…did you? We played outside in our backyard, went to the park multiple times, went to our local children’s museum and had an awesome experience watching the swallows zoom up, over and around the pedestrian bridge nearby as well. We also had a fun backyard barbecue with our Grandma Great on Mother’s Day where we learned how far each of us could kick my daughter’s new purple ball! In our house, when the weather gets nice we try to spend a lot more time outside enjoying it. Continue reading

Kindergarten. I can’t believe it’s almost here. I’ve written before about my son’s journey through preschool and how we’re so grateful that he was able to do that this year and how much he has grown. But it’s still is hard to believe that he is now old enough to go to Kindergarten and start elementary school in the Fall…where did the time go? Continue reading
