iPhone Wednesdays

I was just looking through my pictures and noticed that some of my favorite pictures are ones that I’ve taken with my iPhone. Technically, they’re really not up to standard. I doubt I’ll ever even print one of them… they’re really not wall-worthy.
But blog-worthy? Totally!
Thing is, I don’t carry my great camera everywhere I go. [...]

Opposites

So, today, all four of my brothers competed in and finished an Ironman Triathalon. If you’re not familiar with that, imagine swimming 2.4 miles, biking 112 miles, and running 26.2 miles ALL IN ONE DAY. They finished in times from 11 and a half hours to over 13 hours.
Today, I took a nap for over [...]

Summer begins…

Just hours into summer vacation-
My mom (a teacher): It’s passing too quickly!
Shelby (a student): It’s only 4 o’clock? What am I going to do with my life?

Whoa…

**I meant to publish this on Saturday! I wrote it Friday, but couldn’t figure out how to set it up to publish later. **
Somehow, eleven years has passed since I first met this soul…

Seriously? HOW!!
Someone trying to sell me something recently asked if I was over 25. I nearly said no, and I really [...]

random

Hi… I just feel like being random for a minute. I’ve very busy lately, seeking balance. May was really busy, business-wise. I’ve still got a ton to do to catch up. I’m not complaining, just explaining! The blog is about a month behind with sessions to post, but I’ll get it done.
But in the moments [...]

Camping!

So, while the kids were out of school for spring break we decided to go camping. Dave has a little book about great areas to camp in northern California and found Castle Crags State Park. His little book mentioned that this campground was named in Sunset Magazine’s list of top 50 campsites in the west [...]

My apologies…

for being such a bad and boring blogger this week!
It’s been a crazy one. My goal is to do only two sessions per week. I know that beyond that, I get crazy. With four kids and a dog and a husband and a house and a business, I can only take on so much without [...]

Bad Dog!

Piper has learned a new trick, and it doesn’t make me very happy! Funny thing is, she can get up, but she can’t get down. So once she’s up, she’s stuck. See that homework she’s stepping on? So cliche, the dog messing with the homework… 
We have to be careful to push in the chairs and clear the [...]

Spring Break!

My kids are off this week from school, my husband is off work, and we are going to be playing together all week! I’ll be away from my computer most of the time, so if you are a client looking for information, hold tight and I’ll get to you when I can. In the meantime, [...]

Mancala

Have you guys ever played this game?
I’ve seen it before, but never learned it. Until now. Shelby talked us into getting it at Target a while ago and I have to say, I love it!
I’ve found a game that I can play with my kids without wanting to pull my hair out. While Candyland was [...]
