It's been a long week but somehow it managed to pass by quickly. Memorial Day, I was in Wisconsin for a dear cousin's funeral. It was heartbreaking but it was also really wonderful to be with extended family. It's been almost a decade since I've visited cousins out of state, and with life being busy... Continue Reading →
It is hard for me to believe that Kylie just finished pre-k. Husband and I attended her "graduation" ceremony and while sitting in the small seats and round tables eating our hotdogs, veggies, and fruits it hit me that she was really done and moving on to kindergarten this fall. Husband left before Kylie and... Continue Reading →
Last week, husband and I upgraded our phones to androids. We tried to avoid getting into the android world because it's too expensive and too time consuming...time away from the family.

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 →
I bought a table easel (for half price at Jo-Ann's) so Kylie can paint on the days she doesn't have preschool. 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...
