Jess Moves Out

We moved Jessica into her dorm room yesterday.  It was insane. It was very hot and humid, and there were people moving in all over.  Thankfully, since Jessica is on the fourth floor, the elevators made the move a little easier.  It wasn’t until we were unloading the last load that we found out you [...]

A Summary of Summer

I took a break from blogging this summer for several reasons: Since Grandma’s passing in May, my motivation to keep everyone up to date kind of dwindled.  Grandma was the one person I could count on to read this blog daily.  I miss her. We moved in June, and we’re still not fully moved in. [...]

The Big Move

We spent the first week (or has it been two now?) moving into our new house.  What a nightmare!  I’d like to go on record now to say that I absolutely hate moving.  Every muscle in my body is sore.  I am exhausted every day.  I wake up to towering boxes of stuff that I [...]

The Sun Shines A Little Less Today

I’d like to introduce you to an amazing woman that I know. I met her 10 years ago.  I loved her from the first day I met her.  She was the type of woman you could draw strength from.  Always quick with words of encouragement, inspiration, and humor.  She wore her heart on her sleeve, [...]

Ty’s Sixth Birthday!

Ty had an “AWESOME” birthday! I’ll update this post later with more pictures, but here’s a picture of the cake I made. The bottom layer is chocolate cake with oreo cookie filling (yes, the white stuff that they put on oreo cookies). It was fabulous. Here’s the recipe for the oreo cookie filling.   I dirty-iced [...]

Easter 2010

We had a sort of “Easter weekend” this year. Let me start with Saturday. Since hockey season is over, and we really didn’t have any other plans, I decided to take the boys over to the Home Depot for their Kids Workshop.  They were building ‘Butterfly Houses’.  The boys love doing these workshops.  Unfortunately, it [...]

Let Them Eat Cake!

Cake decorating is a hobby of mine.  I’m not very good at it, and often times the pictures turn out better than the actual cake does.  But I thought it would be fun, and maybe helpful to someone out there.  I know how much I appreciate (and swipe) cake ideas, so it seems only fair [...]
