Well, life is busy! As if we don't know that LOL. Work, kid's activities, volunteering, church and any other project where I end up giving in and saying "yes." To quickly summarize, I mentioned in a previous post that last April I was part of a restructuring that left me and hundreds of others without … Continue reading Catching up on life and business

A season of change…can you feel it?
Taking a break from our rabbit saga to chat about change. Not the stuff jingling in your pant’s pockets, the kind that most people dread. John Maxwell, a wonderful and inspirational speaker and coach, once said "Most people don't like change. They revolt against it unless they can clearly see the advantage it brings. For … Continue reading A season of change…can you feel it?
The Chronicles of the Christmas Rabbits
"Get rabbits for your FFA project," they said. "It’ll be easy," they said. Little did they know. It all started a little more than a year ago when our daughter joined Junior FFA (Future Farmers of America). She thought this would be a great idea seeing that she doesn’t do sports and a lot of … Continue reading The Chronicles of the Christmas Rabbits
Let’s start at the beginning of the journey
So where have I been the past year you ask? Crazy busy with family, work and life. But one "thing" that kept us really busy was an illness that seemed to control our lives for many years and was finally addressed last year. You're probably thinking, "Yeah, how can an illness take over and control your … Continue reading Let’s start at the beginning of the journey
Sometimes it’s the little things in life
My morning routine for the past several months has been the same. Wake up, get ready for work, get the kids ready for school, walk them to school, take the dog for a walk and then drive off to work. Not much to really think about until you take a deeper look at that routine. … Continue reading Sometimes it’s the little things in life
Remembering Good Times
I found this in my notes from 1/4/17 When there is no tv, no electronics, no room in the house to go be by yourself, what do you do? Play Clue (Simpsons version) and snuggle in bed. After a rousing game of Clue, it was time to put the kids to bed. But first, a … Continue reading Remembering Good Times
Holiday Traditions
Looking through some files on my computer, I came across one that said "traditions for school." Curious, I opened the document. It had pictures for my daughter's kindergarten fall project where she was asked to show pictures and write a description of her favorite holiday traditions. Here is what she chose. The first picture is … Continue reading Holiday Traditions
Pinky Promise
So you think you are a good parent. Your kids make it to school every day with a lunch packed, homework done (well, most of the time), hair brushed (about once every other day) and appropriate weather clothes (for my daughter, this means whatever she wants to wear). Yesterday when I got home from work, … Continue reading Pinky Promise
Family time
What is the definition of family time? The 15 minute drive to a baseball or soccer game? The 10 minute walk to/from school? A couple of hours at the park after school with friends? A quick chat over dinner? Movie night? I think we are getting to the point in our family that any time … Continue reading Family time
Letting go of singleness
Strange title, I know, for someone who has been married for more than eight years. But even today I find there are still remnants of the days before marriage and kids. As the kids grow and we make transitions, I find that we need to remove one more piece that connected me to my single … Continue reading Letting go of singleness
