weekend in pictures
Boy 1 brought home a new instrument from school this weekend- a double bass. It’s huge! And this one is only 3/4 size! It’s quite and adventure getting it in and out of the car. The living room is officially dripping in musical intruments: guitars (both acoustic…
kids cook night
Kids Cook Night. Why did I not think of this before? As a mom that gets dinner on the table night after night- sometimes I need a break. Many years ago I asked for a Husband Cook Night. He’s a great cook and readily agreed.…

back to school blues
Yesterday was the first day of school. I’m so sad. I know everyone is saying it, but I just don’t know where the summer went. What I’ve realized is that it is not just school starting that I am sad about, but that it signifies…
