Hen’s Friday #Giveaway Linky 3/7 – 3/13
I am so glad it's Friday! We don't have any big plans but Pie has a birthday party to attend and I am doing a little Spring cleaning -- even if the weather won't cooperate! I spent 8 hours putting together my new desk on Thursday. Eight hours! It's giant and I love it and I now actually have space to place my planner and get organized! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend full of fun and … [Continue Reading...]
Juicy Shredded Chicken for Quick Weeknight Meals
This winter has been busy! I've been running my son back and forth to classes (hopefully he'll get his license this spring!) and my daughter back and forth to after school activities. I want to have a nice meal on the table for the kids and my hubby when they get home from school and work -- but I do not want to face the "What's for dinner doldrums" every night. This Oven Baked Chicken is the … [Continue Reading...]
Throwback Thursday : Cousins #tbt
I may have shared this photo on the blog before, but it is one of my favorites, so here it is again! This is the perfect Throwback Thursday photo of my cousin and I! I'm fairly certain we were wearing our Gramma and Grampa's coats, hats, earmuffs and gloves and just being plain silly. I have to have a giggle every time I see an old photo of us two with our giant plastic frame glasses -- we were … [Continue Reading...]
On the Road again: A firsthand trip with Kerouac

With the rise of technology, it’s easy to see the Great Wall of China or the Eiffel Tower, all from the palms of our hand. What we lose out on is the experience, and that is the best part about … [Continue Reading...]
Dad and The Giant Dinosaur :: Throw Back Thursday #tbt
I have wanted to participate in Throwback Thursday for a while now, but I always forget! Not today! I dug out some old photos and hope to remember to share one, if not weekly, then at least once a month. I adore this photo of my Dad and I with the giant green dinosaur statue in South Dakota. There aren't too many photos of my Dad and I, and looking at this just makes me smile and remember how … [Continue Reading...]
Wordless Wednesday – Winter Landscape #ww
The cold and snow can be truly beautiful. This was on the way home from picking my daughter up from drama club practice last night. The snowy landscape and setting sun reminded me to look for the beauty in things, even when I feel like I am too tired to care. I have hope for Spring! Did I mention that our nearby city is the top snowiest city in the country for 2013-2014? 115.1 inches so far. ☛ … [Continue Reading...]
First Two Weeks of February #fmsphotoaday
I may have failed miserably with keeping up with the photo a day Instagram meme in January, but I've been good about remembering in February!

Remember, if you would like to join in, you can do so at any time. … [Continue Reading...]
