March Madness

One of the best times of the year. My school didn’t make the tournament but let’s be honest, I don’t watch much television. If I do, it is Wild Kratts or Curious George etc.   We still manage to get excited. Of course I had to try a Shamrock Mocha shake. The boys and I were decked out […]

I promise…

I promise it will get easier. I have been there. I have moved 4 times in 4 years with two boys who are under 5 without family near by. I have had moments of failure and moments when I just thought wow, this is so hard. I have heard other people say unintentionally how happy they were to […]

Critical thinking, a learned skill

You aren’t born with critical thinking skills. As we get older, I think we really start to understand how much we don’t know. We question the world around us, and we grow from our experiences (if we are lucky enough to not be so stubborn.) I understand that everyone has their own perspective. I have learned  that being […]

Monday!

Happy Monday to all. I hope everyone has a great week.  My family and I had a great weekend. We didn’t do anything wild or adventurous but sometimes that is just perfect. 🙂

2017 off to a good start

We took a road trip this weekend, and the boys were great. It was a fun adventure. We will see how I feel tomorrow when I have to go to work. The boys had their first sleep over this weekend. It is nice because I don’t set my expectations too high with two boys under five years old. […]

Happy New Year!

Welcome to 2017. Wow, another year has already begun. Well, I am excited. This is going to be a great year. My oldest will start kindergarten this year and my youngest will be three years old soon. Where has the time gone? Anyway, I am excited for all of the adventures and memories that will be made this […]

6 weeks @ My New Gig

I have been at my new job now for almost a full six weeks. My family and I have had a lot of change. Then I think of all the change around us. I can’t say I am able to be super engaged in what is going on in the world right now for better or worse. It […]

Happy Friday & 2nd Work Week at New Job

Happy Friday to all! Wow, I can’t believe it’s October. It really has been a crazy last few months. It has almost been four months since we moved to Illinois. I am amazed at how well the boys have adapted to their new surroundings. They love their new school and new friends. It has been an adventure, but […]

Moving is hard

Well, I can’t believe my family and I moved two weeks ago. It’s hard to believe. I know it will get easier but change is so hard. The boys are doing really well so far, but I can only imagine what it must be like for them… I bought them two moving books, and my oldest had me […]
