Hooray, hooray, today's the day! After 3 carefully spaced out, negative COVID tests, we are done with quarantine! The boys have been CLEARED to return to school and activities today!! I am grateful to both the clinic staff and school staff for helping us navigate the current and somewhat confusing post-exposure quarantine guidelines. I am… Continue reading 3 Things Thursday- Quarantine Edition
Hi!! Jumping on for two seconds to say...see ya next week! We have packed our blue suede shoes and are ready for a little less conversation, a lot more action. 😊 (So dorky. I'm sorry. Couldn't resist.) We are off to Memphis in a couple hours (driving part way tonight and will get there by… Continue reading It’s Now or Never
I've mentioned before that my husband is notoriously difficult to buy gifts for. He doesn't really have any big hobbies that require "gear" or "equipment" (no golf balls or tees to buy....doesn't really like to read....is pretty minimalistic about many things like coffee mugs, etc.....). He is also rather picky about his clothing and likes… Continue reading Birthday surprise
Oh my goodness, I am so exhausted!!! Well, I'm feeling a little more human after sleeping for 8 1/2 hours last night (significantly more than my usual amount of sleep....).

But he has lost several people close to him in a short time span and it is heart breaking.… Continue reading Be happy now
One of 19 times riding Expedition Everest on this trip. Yep, definitely their favorite. I know Disney is always a hot topic in travel circles for families with kids. There are MANY websites, blogs, etc. entirely devoted to Disney, written by hard core Disney enthusiasts. Some people are seriously almost cult like in their Disney… Continue reading So, why Disney now?
Fave Christmas Eve pic of the boys + hamsters! Ok, Christmas is really over now! My parents left a bit ago, the presents are mostly put away and the festivities have ended. I'm so happy with what a wonderful Christmas we had! It was quiet and maybe could be considered uneventful for more excitable folks,… Continue reading Christmas 2020!
I touched yesterday on the fact that I was feeling a bit of "gift fatigue". It's not even really just "gift fatigue", though that has been the department that has caused me the most headaches this year. The Christmas season is just always so crazy! It's one of those HUGE Catch-22s for me (and many,… Continue reading Christmas chaos
(Image by Larisa Koshkina from Pixabay) I finally sat down and brainstormed my holiday season/ winter fun list! Here's what I came up with: 🎄 Drive around town to look at local Christmas lights, listening to Christmas music. Either bring hot chocolate from home or pick some up from a drive thru. 🎄Bake cookies together.… Continue reading 2020 Holiday/ Winter Fun List
