Sunday we had our first blizzard of the season. We only got about 4 inches of snow, but the wind was ferocious, drifting the snow everywhere. I woke up Sunday morning and peeked out the window, surprised to find there was nothing on the ground yet – the news reported the storm rolling in at […]
I usually only decorate our great room for Christmas. Our kitchen is lacking in counter space, and we don’t spend enough time in our bedrooms to decorate them. I suppose you could call this a tour/ haul of sorts. I got a lot of new pieces this year, and incorporated my stuff from Christmases past […]
November has been a rough month guys. I feel like life has been in a downward spiral for the past few weeks. Javier started at his new job – a month and a half late, mind you – on November 7th. The whole week prior, he had been spending nearly every day there, helping with […]
All I really wanted to say to anyone that comes across this post is to PLEASE, for the LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, don’t drive distracted. Don’t play with your phone. Keep your eyes on the road. Two days ago, after getting off from work, I ran home to change and then headed […]
We stopped by the lake the other night. It has become a favorite thing to do lately in the evenings. The kids get some wiggles out, and we get the peacefulness of watching the sun set. The moon was crescent-shaped, which was interesting to Sylas. He knows all about that already. He truly has an […]

Lots of “exciting” things going on at our house lately. Sylas is having a good time at school. He is learning to read color words right now and so far they know how to read and write red. They also go over the alphabet a couple letters at a time to freshen up since preschool. […]
Tonight while laying with sylas as I’m trying to get him to sleep, as part of our nightly ritual after dinner, bath and story books, I let him talk about whatever comes to his mind. Tonight, the topic of discussion was his future house plans. “Mom, maybe someday when I’m as tall as you, I […]
Sylas had his first day of Kindergarten this week. This momma had a hard time letting him go. I woke up early to make his lunch, which I was kind-of excited to do. I soaked it in while it lasted because I knew that soon enough I wouldn’t be enjoying it so much as it […]
