Looking for a Rayne-bow

Cheesy title I know, but I can’t resist! I wanted to give you an up date on our beautiful Rayne. Rayne’s mommy and daddy asked me to stay the night with her on Thursday and I was blessed to do so. If I didn’t have to work the next day I would have stayed up [...]

Family Night: Japanese Style

My Emma is a creative little one and pays attention to detail. I’m pretty sure a lot of this comes from dad. For her family night, she chose to use her Japanese Anime Cookbook and go full on Asian style! We ate Teriyaki Chicken, Potato veggie balls and rice with seaweed and Mochi for dessert. [...]

’71 was a very good year!

40 years of awesome. Me, and… Starbucks! And it opened only two days after I was born!

Tales of a Teenage Groom

I married this guy when he was 19. My dad told me “you are not marrying that BOY!” I did it anyway. I was just a little older than him, but who’s counting? We have been married 16 years that have just slipped by. They have been beautiful and crazy and sorrowful and fun. All [...]

5 Things I Was Reminded of Today

1. I can always do more than I think I can. ( Usually applies to working out- but can also easily be applied to life in general.) 2. If I wait too long to eat, it feels like my stomach is being ripped out through my bellybutton. 3. I get my feelings hurt when I [...]

Welcome Home, Mom!

We’ve got a cat. A fat cat. I’m sorry to say it. It’s rude, I know, but she can’t read so she won’t know and don’t you dare rat me out. If I see her with the phonics flash cards though, I’m gonna be worried. She’s got issues because of the weight and we’ve tried [...]

Meal of the Day

I wanted to post this dinner I made because I heard the kids loved it. What’s that you say? Yes, children loved something that had meat that wasn’t in fun DINOSAUR! shapes with veggies and had no added preservative crap or flavorings. Real food, my friends. It IS possible. I didn’t post this yesterday because [...]

The Menu

I’m working slowly on getting my new blog up and I’ve got a few cool things to share when I do, but for now, this. I was introduced to a blog called Foodee. I will be making a few of the recipes referenced here this week. Our school has a camput so those days the [...]

Back to School

My schedule runneth over. Seriously. My blogging is lacking due to an amazingly full life. Pretty much every day starts before 5am and often ends (the work part) around 5pm. I love it. I’m exhausted but it’s all good. The only thing I’m a little frustrated about is fitting in MY workouts. The classes I [...]

Mobility

If  you do anything physical…walk, sit, stand…move your body at all, this website is for you. I hear almost daily about people’s back pain, hip tightness…”I’ve got a pain in my ….(insert body part here)…” This website addresses these issues and really, everyone should be doing these exercises. They are simple stretches, but oh so [...]
