Today I spent well over five hours working on finances. I first installed a new software onto my MacBook Pro.

Tonight I am thankful that I get to homeschool my children. This morning was HARD!

(thanks FB friends for all the great ideas and... Read more →

Tonight was awesome. Ad and I were able to sneak away for a few hours without any little angels in tow. We were able to enjoy a piping hot and always delicious meal at one of our fave date night spots - Sesame in Park Circle....then we hit up Starbucks because it's RED CUP SEASON - my fave...I don't usually go to Starbucks except around this time of year...I savor it as a treat... :)...

Yesterday I spent an hour freezing my little patootie off watching my boys practice soccer....as I sat there I was struck with the thought of how thankful I am that my children have a wonderful soccer coach who faithfully shows up to cheerfully coach them! Fritz Paulsen not only coaches my kids at the U10 level, he also coaches at the U12 level and perhaps others....he has spent endless hours being AWESOME and teaching my... Read more →
