How did February get by me?? Well, actually I know the answer to that. I’ve been up to my neck in DIY projects – painting, installing new baseboards, painting, changing out electrical plugs & switches (and pinning down the puzzle that is my breaker box), painting, decluttering, oh and did I mention painting?!? Good thing I’m a believer in pan […]
I grew up in a transient home. My dad began his career as a Navy officer right around the time I was born and I spent the eighteen years of my childhood pulling up roots every two and a half years (and sometimes even more frequently). There are obvious disadvantages to this family lifestyle, but there are some real advantages […]
I’m trying to get Tom to do a guest blog post. He made an amazing meal on Sunday and he even had Spencer take pictures. He’s being reluctant – but I wish he would!! I envy those bloggers who have those beautiful food posts and here I have my very own chef who won’t spruce up my blog!! I’m trying […]
So, it’s been almost a month since I posted. I resolved that I should take more pictures this year because I have almost nothing of our family from last year. So far I haven’t taken a single one.

Memorial day was an exciting one in our family. Spencer went skating with some buddies and had an accident – got himself a nice concussion and a case of short term memory loss. I can joke about it (a little) now, but at the time it was totally freaking me out. He hit his head after falling backwards off his […]
So, I’ve been having trouble finding a theme that works. I noticed, after about a week, that the last theme wouldn’t let me post comments! What good is a blog if people can’t comment??? For now I’m back to a theme I know works. Just wish it was a little cuter, or something … On the very last leg of […]
If only my little kids weren’t still in school!!! The weather has been beautiful and the summer twilight lasts and lasts … too bad I have to put my kids to bed for school the next morning. Last night Andrew would not go to bed – or at least, he was in his room, but would not stop playing. At […]
First off, do you like our new look? I had to browbeat Spencer to get him to do something new. He’s not impressed because it only took him a few minutes to design it – if it doesn’t take four hours, it’s not worth it!! We had a surprise visit from Mom & Dad Cottle this past weekend. It was […]
