Blooms

The snow has melted and the sun has come out.  The trees and flowers got the memo and it is very welcome here at our home.  I cannot believe that this weekend is Easter.  This is the first year in nearly 7 years I have not hosted and this is what we have….bulbs in bloom.  [...]

Is Spring Here Yet?

The last few Spring Break’s have been *rough* to say the least.  The boys are really too young to take on a family vacation other than the family cabin, which has to remain closed until the last freeze.  The zoo, science museum, etc….are soooooo crowded during spring break…..we are a little spoiled by being able [...]

Storms

I have been keeping a bit of a journal….I call it my “Mom Book” since last summer.  It has been a little bit therapeutic and a little bit freeing.  Most of all, I really want to speak out for those of us who lost a loved one to addiction and live to tell about it.  [...]

Going to the Zoo

As Members of the Oklahoma City Zoo, we got to preview the new Children’s Zoo yesterday before it opens to the public March 12th.  It was amazing.  We watched the monkeys climb all over the place.  We yelled…yes, yelled….I am not sure why…at the Flamingos.  We fed the lorakeets and we admired the peacocks.  It [...]

Spring Cleaning — Day 1

Let the Spring Cleaning Party Begin!!! I operate so much better when I have the house organized and everything is in it place.  It is also so much easier to be a “good mom” when the house is not cluttered and we have a nice, comfortable, home to reside in.  How do I know this????  [...]

Do It Yourself Photo Booth

With only eight days (and that is being generous) to plan my sister’s wedding, she asked me to help capture the evening.  Luckily, my cousin is a much better photographer than myself, was there and took the formal pictures.  I had this crazy idea to do something like this or this to give to the [...]

I Gave out My Toast!!!

My four year old asked what I did at the “grown up party” after the wedding and I told him I gave a toast….after a lot of questions and me and Law Man trying to explain the situation, he asked, “did everyone like the toast you handed out?” Many of you have asked to see [...]
