I am not a bug person. Bugs scare me (except for bees and spiders). Rolly polly's aren't so bad but I'd prefer not to be near them. My daughters, on the other hand, love bugs. I don't want them to have the same fears I have about bugs so I pretty much have to bite... Continue Reading →
Went to my 5-year-old's Mother's Day Tea Party at her preschool earlier today. She was so excited when she told me about it last week, but on this day, she showed no excitement at all. It was still a 99 on her scale of 1-10 (10 being the best). Got a card and chocolates from... Continue Reading →
There is a nest by the front door up in the corner. When it gets windy this nest gets blown out of place and lands by the door. A new one always gets built right a way. This all started last spring. And, like last spring, an egg either falls out or gets pushed off,... Continue Reading →
It rained this morning and brought on melancholy memories.
Yes, I am one of those peeps who went out and bought Madonna's Truth or Dare Eau de Parfum. She is legendary in my eyes (if I can even use that word yet), and even though I'm not really a fan of her current music style, I still listen to everything else. The scent of... Continue Reading →

When I brought the easel home and explained to her what it was, she got excited and wanted to paint right away. She painted five abstract pieces. I know they might look like messy...

The inside was written with very simple words and then husband and I and the kids signed it. Before everyone arrived, it was just... Continue Reading →
This video is pretty neat by someone on youtube named hajime1969. The song is "One Perfect Sunrise" by Orbital. I was looking through my photos for a sunrise photo and couldn't find too many. The last sunrise photos taken was last September when my family and I went to Maroon Bells. Guess this means it's... Continue Reading →
I ended up making that pepper sauce mentioned, here. Growing up we always had some type of pepper sauce to dip in with our food and as I got older it's just become a norm. The pepper sauce in the photo is made of all fresh ingredients. I made quite a lot and it's lasted... Continue Reading →
[4.06: Waiting a few minutes before heading to the 2nd cave.] This post is a continuation from the trip the family took to Glenwood Springs last week. The cave was fun for husband and I but the girls found their thrill in the Alpine Coaster ride, Laser Tag, and the 4D Motion Theater. They also... Continue Reading →
