Here we are on day 10 already of the gratitude challenge! Time certainly does fly, doesn’t it? Seems the older I get the faster time moves and I don’t want to miss a single moment! That’s why I’m here with you now, to see the little things in my everyday life so I don’t miss anything!!…… Continue reading 30 Day Gratitude Challenge: Day 10 – TASTE: Connecting, the Missing Piece at American Tables
Here’s a short but sweet activity from today. Well, it was short and sweet to create but we played with it for over an hour. If there’s something we can learn than killing time isn’t a bad thing, right? Today we’re learning about colloids! What is a colloid you ask? A colloid is a substance…… Continue reading Summer of Fun: A Colloid? What’s That?
Sometimes, we just get curious. Sometimes we hear things that make us question what we are doing. So, I decided not to guess, but to ask! Please take a few minutes to participate in this short survey.
Oh my goodness, I can’t believe more than a week has passed since I last posted. I guess asking where the time goes is definitely something worth asking in this instance. Time is flying by, as it always does when the boys are here. It seems like we never have enough time together, although it…… Continue reading Summer of Fun: When Life Moves By In a Blur, There’s Always Time for Pie
Welcome back!! The boys have arrived for our second round of summer of fun and today we’re making ice cream. I remember making ice cream with my gramma or was it with mama, either way I remember. We used one of those old fashioned ice cream makers. The one that used rock salt and then you…… Continue reading Summer of Fun – I Scream, You Scream, We’re Making No Churn Ice Cream!

After many years of infertility treatments, emotional anguish, and nights of lost sleep, my body said enough is enough and I gave up my dream of every being a mom. THE DAY I told my…… Continue reading Summer: Where Does the Time GO – The One Thing No One Ever Told You About Raising Children
I believe my youngest was 18 months old the last time we camped; just a short time before his dad and I split. We loved camping. Everything about it. The outdoors, the smell of breakfast cooking over an open flame, the hiking, sleeping in a tent, sitting around the fire, seeing so many stars, EVERYTHING!
We were regulars. We often camped two, three, or more times a summer.
Good Morning! Today is a bit different than most. Today the spinner landed on “our day in pics” Imagine my disappointment when I discovered my current website plan doesn’t support video 😦 So instead of that great little video I was going to put here today, I’m going to have to settle for still shots…… Continue reading Summer of Fun 2016: A Pictures Worth a Thousand Words
Well as much as yesterday was a bust, today was a BLAST! Things rolled into place; it was hot, the sun was shining, we had all the supplies. Yesterday got me thinking. So many times life grabs a hold of us and drags us around like a rag doll. Things can run a muck very…… Continue reading Summer of Fun 2016: You’re Never Too Old To Play
Today was a bust! At least when it came to our activity it was. As it often does, life got in the way. We started off really strong; we spun the wheel and water gun fight came up! We were all looking forward to it and then….LIFE HAPPENED. There was a heartbreaking phone call from…… Continue reading Summer of Fun 2016: Life Happens; Roll With It
