🔷 A 50 foot dog leash We have a fenced in yard, but our backyard also has a lot of landscaping beds and other places Charlie can get into mischief.

Sneaking this in at the last hour! Can't miss a day in NaBloPoMo. I just got home from the gym about 20 minutes ago. It's currently 8:59 p.m. Inspired by Kelsey on the recent Girl Next Door podcast, I have been really trying to get a little creative with my workout schedule.

These last few weeks we've been trying to weed out some of the boys' old things. Specifically, jackets. We have a rather large stockpile of very nice but now too small coats and jackets that have been accumulating in our basement closet.

I mentioned in my post Saturday how most of my typical daily life activities like walking, reading, exercising, cooking.... have mostly all been fitting in a VERY scattered manner,… Continue reading New week…resume a semblance of normalcy?
First off, a huge THANK YOU to everyone for the birthday wishes!! I was especially touched by quite a few "lurker readers" (I call you that lovingly 😆) who came out of the shadows to leave me a comment! I read and responded to every single one. Thank you to all of you! I felt… Continue reading Happy…. chaos?
Happy Friday. Whew, it's been a week. A couple unfortunately non-bloggable stressful things popped up, but hopefully we're on the downswing now. Here are 5 things on this Friday.... 1.
