We survived…

We all came back in one piece, except for me. I left half of my heart in Oswego, NY. What more is there to say? We had an amazing trip. We lived and breathed fresh air, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, fishing, boating, singing, laughing and family. What more could you ask for? The flights were …

Summer Vacation

We leave in exactly 9 days. My four sisters and I... yes, there's 5 girls, well we are all packing up and heading to upstate New York to visit our dad for 9 days. He moved back to his hometown about 3 years ago. Crazy enough, we all miss him. We are packing up 5 …

Carmen.

I really don't know where or how to begin with this crazy, little girl. She's funny. Last Tuesday was a little dramatic for her. And for someone to say "something was dramatic for her" is the strangest statement ever, because, let's be real... Carmen is the most dramatic thing ever. So a week ago, she …

So… this is 30.

It has been exactly 6 days since turning 30 and I have some pretty mixed feelings. Usually growing another year older is exciting! It is a whole new number that you have never been before. You can redefine you. I love that about birthdays. It is, indeed, a celebration. It's a chance to continue your …

When it Rains…

So many things happen daily that it is truly hard to keep up. Sometimes those things are not the most fun... This year has been a huge test in character. I feel like 'me' a few years back would have lost it, but 'me' now is starting to learn to just accept and enjoy what …

My Next Adventure

So, I've been going back and forth for a few months about an opportunity to do more of what I love... And its really just another outlet for me; bread, book club, and now this super secret thing. So about a year ago, I fell in love with this makeup called Maskcara Beauty. I know... …

Craziness

Basically, we are all still adjusting. Since we last spoke, we were discussing about how our lives and schedules were about to change... well they changed and so far, its been okay. Yes, just okay. Well...Maybe not even okay... what's less than that? Keep reading... In that ONE week, you know, the one we've been …

A Reason For My Absence

I haven't posted recently because our family has had a few major changes in our lives! Good changes, but changes that need adjustment. I'm still sitting here convincing myself that these changes are for the better. But because of the unpredictability of life... you never know. And again, my mind comes up with some crazy …

My Unicorn Princess

My sassy seven year old is now eight. So of course... like most kids little dreams, a party had to be thrown. I'm not the parent that throws a party every year. We've tried to stick to the 1 year, 5 year, 10 year mark parties. But, since Margot had a huge 1st Birthday party, …

First Attempt; Bread

OMG! First off, I know I said it in my last post... But I was in way over my head. I had absolutely NO IDEA bread takes this long. Like wow! It had to rest for two hours, then proof for another hour and a half... and this was the first recipe, the easiest one... …
