I have been struggling to find the time to blog lately, and wanting to write and not having the time are stressing me out. I am going to take a break, review my priorities, and then hopefully come back when I can post more consistently, so it’s not another thing adding to my stress. So […]
More catching up… Pictures from June Christopher’s school has a field day on the Friday before the last day, and the kids all get special shirts and spend the afternoon signing those and their yearbooks. Another parent took this picture, and I think it’s super cute. Christopher’s team made a double play, and the […]
Since I’m taking a break from blogging at Opinionated Book Lover, I decided to share some of the great books I’ve been reading over here. You’ll have to click over to my review or Goodreads for more information as I didn’t include a synopsis or thoughts on each book here. Adult Fiction Every Note Played […]
Trying to catch up a little… Pictures from May Christopher had his first drum recital, and he was SO nervous. He didn’t really even want to do it, but the teacher and I convinced him to at least go and watch. And then once he was there, he got more and more comfortable with the […]
We’re into the final week of select baseball. Christopher has a few league games left, along with one tournament weekend, and then he will try out for next season.

It’s surprisingly spicy with the paprika and cayenne pepper in the almond meal breading. The first time I made it I used chicken tender strips, and they […]
We have been terrible lately with independent reading, but I have been doing a good job of reading aloud to Christopher each night that I put him to bed. We’ve read a couple of chapter books and many picture books. Picture Books What To Do If an Elephant Stands On Your Foot by Michelle Robinson […]
In January I declared 2018 “the year of small improvements.” The last few months I’ve been focusing on our master bedroom and the upstairs bathrooms. We didn’t do anything major, but these small improvements have made our lives a bit more pleasant. Master Bedroom New Sheets For the last couple of years we’d been surviving […]
For part of spring break, we went on a three night Disney cruise to the Bahamas. It was so wonderful that we’ve already booked our 7 night Disney cruise for next spring break! I meant to write this post sooner when it was a little more fresh in my mind, but thankfully the pictures will […]
