Not a day goes by. We miss you Grandpa. Sha la la la la, sha la la la la You used to call me your angel Said I was sent straight down from heaven And you’d hold me close in your arms I thought of the way you felt so strong I never wanted you […]
Getting picky kids to eat can be a chore, and we’ve all been there. Sometimes, they get fixated on a certain food, hot dogs or chicken nuggets, for instance, and do not want to eat much else. Our little grandson always seems to eat lots more when our Labrador retriever is near the table; I […]
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Victor Pest. All opinions are 100% mine. Growing up, I lived in the country for 90% of my childhood. Being near farm fields and cold winter weather here in Iowa, I remember my grandparents always fighting of mice in someway. I know I would […]
Happy Birthday Kelsie Four years ago at about the time I am writing this, I was arguing if it was time to go to the hospital or not. You have grown so much little girl and you make me smile everyday. I looked through my Facebook pictures the other night and could remember all the […]
Recently I’ve found myself wanting to look at family records and see what type of family tree I can create of our heritage. I know the general “foundation” of my family and so forth but would like to find more. I’ve noticed that the majority of sites out there, you’re going to end up paying […]
I love knowing that I am going to school for something I love. But, when you live in Iowa-it can suck. We’re in a snow blizzard that many news reports are saying later today travel will be impossible. But yet, my college is still open-an hour away from me. I have a ton of people […]

What a freaking day… I wake up to find an e-mail on my phone. My site was gone. I was hacked. So I apologize if my site has looked like junk today. There are still some kinks to get worked out! I knew I wanted a new theme but this wasn’t what I had in […]
If you’ve been anywhere lately online, you’ve probably seen discussions of a new astrological sign and charts shifting, leaving some of us with new astrological signs. If you haven’t heard about it, you must be living under a rock. There are lots of talks of those with the “old” signs keeping the same, others saying […]
I have wanted to own a Jeep since I was a little girl and now, I have one. 🙂 Now, my previous car was a Saturn. A teeny tiny little Saturn. I LOVE MY JEEP. So much more room and you don’t even feel like you’re driving a huge car.
I have been hearing about the 365 Project online for some time now but didn’t participate. I signed up a few months ago and got involved in adding pictures but then I slacked off. With the start of 2011, I have been doing my best to capture the moments around me every day. Take a […]
Some of us get lucky after having children and get pretty darn close to back to pre-baby weight. I was one of those individuals with my first pregnancy. After giving birth to my second daughter, Aubrey, my health has tanked and now I find myself fighting to get back to my pre-pregnancy norm. I’m doing […]
Classes start back already. Holy crap. I decided that I am going to be going IN PERSON to classes this semester, whether my health likes it or not. We have a snow storm rolling in so let’s hope if the roads are too bad, the campus will close (one already has)-I have to go out […]
Our Saturn now sits at a salvage lot. Two vehicles we were interested in literally sold instantly. Searching for cars with limited budget sucks. I just want a car for my children. Ugh.
