Addison had her ACL surgery on Friday. We were able to squeeze it in, to round out 2024. Chuck took the reins on all of the pre op prep. Is there a better way to bond than over a leg brace fitting? Christmas was on Wednesday which was a fantastic distraction. I decided to make... Continue Reading →
Thanksgiving & A Torn ACL.
No Bob Evan’s for us this year. Apparently my family has developed a more sophisticated palate. Thank goodness my mom offered to make the rolls, stuffing, deviled eggs and something else I can’t remember. That means we are responsible for the turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and the pumpkin pie. Chuck will do the turkey... Continue Reading →
Might be too soon
It’s probably way too soon but here we are. I have never been an overly political person. Honestly it might be because I don’t fully fit in either “box.” My social economic status is more conservative, but when it comes to social issues I definitely find myself more liberal. My mom now, that’s a whole... Continue Reading →
Being happy and celebrating others when your insides hurt.
Last night was senior night at the football game. It also happened to be youth football night and local business night. Basically what that means is that all of the seniors of the football team, cheerleaders and band members get a little recognition on the field. They get their names over the load speaker, a...

Cross Country and Apple Picking.
Cross country has officially started. We had our first meet last night. I have to say that if you’ve never experienced this, you really should. Obviously I am not a runner. My husband is not a runner. How one out of three kids became a runner, I will never know. Over the years I’ve been... Continue Reading →
Spring Break or Bust…
I’m lying on the couch, sick with Covid. I’ve watched every movie in the “After” collection on Netflix, several episodes of Antique Roadshow, and spent more hours on TikTok than I’m willing to admit. I figured it’s time to rip off the bandaid and blog about Spring Break 2024. Buckle up, this one is so... Continue Reading →
Long time no write..
Well, well, well. It’s been since January since I’ve written a blog post. One of these days I’ll share with you the Spring Break from hell. I’m still a bit too traumatized to give it the attention that it deserves. I promise I will soon though. It didn’t get better from here. School starts tomorrow... Continue Reading →
Return on your Investment
One of those moments that I got a glimpse of the return on my investment. Raising a productive human one snow storm at a time. The best part is I didn’t even have to ask him to go help his dad. Most investments are intended to have a long game return. Parenting is one of... Continue Reading →
My baby is a teenager!
It’s now official. My baby, the last one of 3, is a teenager. The decision of delivering her on Christmas Eve or December 28th was a no brainer. In hindsight having a December birthday has really worked in her favor. We might go a little overboard to make sure she feels the love on her... Continue Reading →
Recap December 18th 2023
I am not a morning person. On top of today being Monday my damn Keurig didn’t work this morning. It shut off mid brew. Of course when I opened it water and coffee grinds went all over. I cleaned it, unplugged and re plugged it in and managed to get another 1/2 brew that I... Continue Reading →
