Up down, up down, down down down
I've been strugling the last few weeks with the same 1-2 lbs on the scale. That can be so frustrating when you are eating right and exercising. You feel like all that hard work is for nothing and why not just throw in the towel and eat half a chocolate cake. I've been known to do that a time or twelve. And it's those specific… Continue Reading
The Fit Bit
Way back in June, I placed an order for a little exercise and sleep tracker, called FitBit. It's no secret that I could stand to lose a lot of weight. And when Joelle mentioned she ordered one and she loved it so, I… Continue Reading
Playing Catchup
We're a family of eight! In case you don't know anything about our little family, I thought I would do a quick post featuring all our kids :) They are growing up so fast and that makes me sad. It was just yesterday that I was yelling at a puppy for peeing on the wood floors. It almost makes me want a puppy again. Oh, not really… Continue Reading
Double the Awesomesauce
I love good mail days, don't you? Two awesome items arrrived out of the blue....and on the same exact day! Okay, maybe not completely out of the blue, I did order them, but they didn't ship right away. So when that happens, I tend to forget that I ordered something. And then BAM, it arrives and it's all "Christmas… Continue Reading
A squash…three years later
The first Spring in our first house, I put in a raised bed vegetable garden. I planted a ton of veggies. Most of them did really well. We had tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, potatoes, onions and squash blossoms. But never any actual squash. It was odd. Last year's garden didn't go well. We had a really wet Spring… Continue Reading

I have visions of creating such… Continue Reading
Good Companions, Bad Companions & Rotation
I could make myself crazy trying to figure out what veggies should go where in my garden. Of course I want the best possible veggies I can get and at the same time, I’m really new to vegetable gardening. I had no idea that you shouldn’t plant summer squash near potatoes. Or that you should not follow peppers with tomatoes, eggplant… Continue Reading
Ramblings from the Crazy House
This morning I woke up to the sound of little whimpers. The puppy was ready to start the day. As I go down the stairs, I hear the stirrings of some of the other furry creatures living here. Misty greeted me with a big meow and rubbed against my legs, as I stood near the back door getting Frosty’s harness and leash attached to his wiggly… Continue Reading
Trifecta
I have cleaned up poop, pee and vomit this morning…all before 8am.
Who says we don’t have kids? 
Secret Revealed!
I had every intention on getting home relatively early yesterday and sharing the secret. But clearly that didn’t happen. I hit rain on the way home. A lot of rain. And I don’t necessarily do well with rain, so I didn’t get in until 8pm and by… Continue Reading
