Thank you!

Mouthful of Crisco? DISGUSTING!!!! I can't even imagine. Gross, gross, gross. I can see how for a kid it would be a thing of dreams. For me, a little overwhelming! I know I've said this like a million

I'm glad you could learn something from our vacation. Yes, between that and Lake Tahoe, I could live happily. Maybe I need to move to California!

My son has just discovered the joy of shadows. I found him the other day making shadow animals and having a conversation with them. Shadows and echoes, his two new obsessions!

Yes, the expectation is so fun! It's how I felt when I was preparing to go to my sister's house (not so much on the flight out with the two kids, but...). The only bad part? When it's all over!!! Enjoy

Once again, your words spoke to me! Reminded me of a far-off person many years ago.

Right? Every kids' dream! It was like a nightmare wrapped up in a dream, actually. Ha! But that's just because I'm old, I guess. It was definitely worth the experience, though. They just need to turn the

Well at least you will have lived and left a legacy, right??? I have decided while the kids are young it's important to be close to grandparents and our "village". But once they are in college,

Just reading your sentence makes me think that would be a huge "Pinterest Fail" for me. Let me know how that goes!

Oh my gosh, thank you! I knew it was something simple and that if I went back to previous posts I did awhile ago, I'd figure it out. I was way too tired last night to even try. It's crazy how much you

I had thought of a roof garden...I have a flat topped garage that is in the back. I'd have to create an easy way for me to get up there to tend to it, but I never got around to trying it. I've never seen

Thank you! I kind of got excited yesterday, because I was getting a little movement going with it...and then I started getting ideas of what could be...which I quickly tempered, because nothing has even

Well...neither of mine were biological, so no breastfeeding here. And Little Man didn't come to live with me until he was 17 months old. Pretty sure he was taken straight off formula and put right onto

I seriously just learned about adaptogens yesterday! I haven't had time to dig any further than that, but it was something I had put on my "learn more about" list. Very timely and informative,

This really resonated with me tonight. I have been unhappy in my job and the employer I work for, but when I think about the "what next" I get so overwhelmed with what to do or where to go next.

I am so jealous of your garden space! I would love to have a garden again, but in my current house there would be no space that is sunny enough besides right smack dab in the middle of the yard where the

Yay, a new person to follow! I can learn all I need to so I can run away and live in the mountains.

Ok, now I'm REALLY laughing hard! Yes, Yosemite is safe...minus the wildfires. Grand Tetons are GORGEOUS too! I really want to take the kids to Glacier National Park next summer. That or go explore Oregon.

I do that mostly, too, and then I see other people's beautifully formatted work, and then I go into a fit of making myself comply to that standard too. And then I don't. Ha!

I am on Facebook and I am thinking about starting Instagram as I'm working on a bit of a side hustle project trying to jump into the fitness industry part-time right now. That's fairly new, so I'm still
