Today was the last day of school for the year. Pickle is pretty excited about that. He probably thinks he is going go be playing fortnite all day every day. Little does he know mom has a plan! Let's start off by saying, my kids have to earn their technology. They have chores that they... Continue Reading →
I wasn't sure I would make it to posting tonight. My oldest child has lost 2 teeth this week. He has my sleeping tendencies [taking forever to fall asleep], so I have had to wait up for the tooth fairy to come. Plus, our good elf pal, Bob, tends to cause mischief at night too.... Continue Reading →
"All my friends are heathens take it slow..." That song comes to mind a lot lately. You see, we have this elf that comes to visit us every December. Last year was his first year here and he caused some serious mayhem! I call him our heathen because he is always leaving me messes to... Continue Reading →
Today's advent was a simple one: read Christmas books. A few days ago, Pickle had asked us to get stuff to make shakes. We wound up getting it all with our grocery order, but I forgot about it until today. So, I decided to make the shakes as a treat to have while we read... Continue Reading →

Growing up, my siblings and I spent a lot of time with our grandparents. There were plenty of weekends we would spend the night there. I didn't realize at the time, how much I would treasure those moments as an adult. Not having my grandparents in my adult life has been one of those things... Continue Reading →
For those of you who know me or have followed my journey for awhile have seen the ongoing, never ending, transformation of my hair. I have had black hair, red, purple, pink, orange, teal, blonde, and galactic colors. Yes I have had "natural" colors, too. I just feel more like myself when my hair is... Continue Reading →
How is everyone doing lately? I hope you are all well and healthy! We are all still doing just fine here. We certainly have been keeping busy though! Bug turned 1 on April 17th! Seriously how did that happen already? We decorated some. I made his cake and some cupcakes for the other kids. He... Continue Reading →
I have been in the darkness this last week. In partial because of my mental illnesses, but I think the quarantined lifestyle has made matters worse. You would think it would not be that traumatic for a person who has been a stay at home parent for 6 years. Granted, that started with only 1... Continue Reading →
