Husband, the kids, and I, had a big dinner last night. I was craving kimchi so we dropped by the Asian Market and I ended up getting three different type of kimchi, plus some seaweed. Then, we headed to the regular grocery store to get some French bread and additional ingredients for the Greek salad... Continue Reading →
For Mother's Day, I spent time with my youngest daughter and nephew. They painted birdhouses as gifts for their mom's. My daughter said, "Mom, don't look until I'm done painting," and added when she saw me with the camera, "But you can take pictures." My nephew had so much stuff to carry home that he...

Over the weekend, I made pita bread. It was my first time making it so I was surprised that it turned out pretty good. For me, the fun thing about making anything is using cute measuring cups, spoons, and bowls. I'm still on the lookout for some fun measuring cups and bowls but I think... Continue Reading →

{Yesterday's Snow} I'm not mad at you, Snow. I kinda just want Spring here for a bit before Summer brings on her extremely high and dry heat.

I've been practicing with Kylie once a day and sometimes twice a day for about half an hour (she used to only handle 10 to 15 minutes) on her reading and sight words and it has tremendously helped her do well on her tests! Before, I was... Continue Reading →
Over the weekend, the family went on a walk with our puppy, Teddy. We normally walk around the block or will drive to a familiar park. That day, we decided to try a new park with a nice walking/biking path. We stopped at the playground for a bit so the girls could use up the... Continue Reading →
That snowstorm we were supposed to get earlier this week came and went without much notice. There's not a trace of it anywhere...except for the photo I took of it that morning. Right now, the sun is shining and it's gorgeous outside.
Over the weekend, the family took a drive just north of Silverthorne to Green Mountain Reservoir, but when we got there, it was not what we had expected. The reservoir was mostly dried up and iced over. It was a pretty depressing sight. We then decided to head to Lake Dillon (right next to Silverthorne)... Continue Reading →
