I think perhaps I have mentioned that I am not much of a morning person. I mean, I am all for morning happening except I really wish I could just stay in my bed, asleep for most of it. But of course having three kids and living a full life does not allot for…
Shaving Cream Selections
After we got back from our vacation to Canada I was nothing short of hungover. On the Sunday after our return I was no better than I had been after my days in college where “trash can punch” was the main course of the night. I stayed in bed until somewhere around 1 p.m. while…
Going Back in Time…
I was talking to someone the other day about attending my high school reunion and they made a side comment such as “why bother, you can see everything/everyone on Facebook nowadays anyway…”. Perhaps, but I cannot HUG anyone on Facebook. At least not yet. I love people. I always have. I also love to see…
The Last of It
I wanted to go ahead and write about and post pictures from our last couple of days in Canada… you know, for posterity and all. On our way back from the mountains we hit up the super enormous mall in Edmonton, West Edmonton Mall. It’s in West Edmonton.

Seattle’s Best {Iced HOT Giveaway!}
It’s HOT outside right now. Like, OHMYGAWD why did I even step outside to get the mail today, hot. My kids are eating freeze pops like they’re goin’ outta style and the ice maker is workin’ over time. I found one way for me to combat the heat though. ICED coffee. Yum! I was so…
And then we went to the mountains!!
If y’all thought I inundated you with photos from our time at the lake while in Canada, well… I took a FEW hundreds of pictures while we spent just a little over 24 hours (only, boo hoo) in Jasper. It’s this cute little, touristy town in Jasper National Park in the midst of the Canadian…
Old School Blogging, July
I first completed this meme a WHILE ago… and at that time it was lists of eight things. But my partner in crime this month, the fabulous Alison from Writing, Wishing and I decided that five was enough. We are firm believers in simplifying our lives… So, here are a few lists of five for…
I Did Not Want to Leave…
I have so much to show and tell about our trip to Canada and right now I am still processing it all. I guess I could start with the people we spent time with, that mean SO very much to me. Just as I type that I begin to tear up because I love them…
