Getaway

Rich and I were actually able to get away for 5 whole days by ourselves.  I know!  How rare is that?!  We had an absolute blast too. =)  We stayed at our favorite bed and breakfast at the Jersey shore and just relaxed and rested our butts off.  It was awesome.  If you and yours [...]

Labor Day weekend

This weekend was a fun and busy one.  Saturday we went out as a family to grocery shop and run a few errands.  We have started taking out a specific amount of money at the beginning of each week for groceries and eating out.  It’s been a bit tough for me to stick to it [...]

Trader Joe’s Fave

It’s that time again…. my favorite Trader Joe’s item of the week!  This week I must share about turkey jerky.  It’s delicious!  It’s moist, and tasty and filling.  I love it and so do my husband and kids.  Mmmm…turkey jerky.

It’s a first

Wow.  I had to take Becca to the doctor tonight.  *sigh*  Becca has been following Grace everywhere around our apartment these days – and being the big sister that she is, Grace doesn’t like having a shadow all the time.  While I was in my room sweeping I heard a door slam followed by Becca [...]

Summer Fun

I have a hard time writing on here these days.  Not because I don’t want to but because I forget to I suppose.  This summer has been packed full of travelling and lots of family time because Rich has the summer’s off.   Now that the summer is coming to an end and Rich is back [...]

Family

I love having pretty feet!  My Gramma took me out on Friday for a lovely and relaxing pedicure (except for the fact that my feet are super ticklish!!!) and the result is soft callous free feet with a feminine look of red toenails.  We then went to Applebee’s for lunch and enjoyed boneless honey bbq [...]

Another year gone by

My little girl turns 3 today.   I have so many warm and fuzzy thoughts about her as a baby…although right now I’m mostly thinking about the labor I was in 3 years ago today.  The contractions were beginning to get intense.  Grace was born at 2:57 pm (I actually have to double check that time though).  [...]

TGIF

Well our first week back home has been full of good times with friends and just trying to get back into the daily routines.   Sunday I actually showed up at church…our flight landed in philly at 6am and I was at church at 12:00….so tired!  And if you are really curious why I went I [...]

We Are Back

California was amazing.  Rich and I fell in love with the area and it was really hard to leave, at least for me anyway.  The weather was hot and sunny with no humidity – just the way I like it   The girls adjusted well by the middle of the week and they seemed [...]

Thoughts

So I’ve been looking over some of my recent entries and I’ve noticed that I’m rather pessimistic or super grouchy.  The impatient and frustrated mom that I’m portraying myself to be really is not who I am.  I guess I often use this blog as an outlet for expressing the difficult aspects of my day.  [...]
