It Wasn’t a Mushy Banana Day….but…..
Had a great time in Minnesota (will blog about that one later tonight after the kiddos are asleep) but I am so glad to be home and in my own bed. We have a tempurpedic mattress and sadly it makes us wimps when it comes to staying in hotels with crappy beds. Yeah, I know… Continue reading

Flying to Minnesota….
One of the things packed into this crazy month before D-day is a whirlwind trip to Minnesota to visit with Eric’s family. As I sit here on the plane I am feeling grateful that Hannah is snoring peacefully, Jake is (for the moment) thoroughly engrossed in a movie he has seen 5000 times. We planned… Continue reading

LIfe with Wild Animals!
So even though we live with a couple of wild animals, we (Eric) decided we needed to get out of the house and go to the zoo! So that’s what we did today. And in my on-going determination to be more conscious of my phone use, I decided not to take a bunch of pictures… Continue reading

Failure with caveats….
Well, my little iphone experiment is a bit of a failure. Sort of. I haven’t turned it back on yet, but I am going to shortly. With an upcoming deployment, the awesome hubbs has offered to give his up (since he won’t be able to use it anyway) so we can still save a bit… Continue reading

Tomorrow I will be disconnecting my iPhone. And while I will miss the gadget-y features (yes, gadget-y is a word! 😉 I’m actually looking forward to it. In the past couple of days I haven’t been checking my phone as much in “preparation” for the “surgery”. Surprisingly enough, I’ve felt more relaxed and much more… Continue reading

Amputation Time
Sigh. I am having such a struggle knowing this is something I need to address: I have a love/hate relationship with my iphone. I LOVE technology. The things that it can do, the convenience it brings. But there has been a nagging feeling in the back of my mind for quite some time. I have to… Continue reading

My Day in The Sun
After a great workout this morning with my sister, I decided that I would do NOTHING all day. Except bask in that glorious light they refer to as “sun”. How sad is it that in three short months I lose my mind when that big ol’ ball of fire in the sky decides to shine… Continue reading

The Run That Wasn’t
I really REALLY do not like the treadmill. I often refer to it as the dreadmill. It’s great for speed training and blah, blah, rains a lot, blah, blah, blah. I don’t care. I like to feel the road (or dirt, or gravel, or grass) beneath my feet. Perhaps it’s because I fell in love… Continue reading

Fully Prepared….To Never Leave The House Again!!
Okay, that may be just a tad bit unrealistic. Although I may consider wearing a sign warning people that if they are considering having children, they should look away as watching our family in action just may be the best form of birth control ever. We went to breakfast with friends at a local restaurant… Continue reading
