We are finishing up the school year safer at home! This past Friday marked the last day of work for me and the kid was finished with school the day before. I had to report to the school Friday to check out with the principal like we always do at View Post
Today is the first day of summer vacation for E.B. and I. He’s been out of school for almost two weeks already, but Friday was my last day of work. Here we sit, side by side, still in our pajamas (with me sans makeup and hair pulled back) at View Post
I rarely take off work unless I’m really sick or E.B. is sick, but I always set aside two personal days in May to attend a couple of events at E.B.’s school. With this school year seeming much longer than usual, it felt great to leave work Thursday View Post
What’s fun on a Tuesday night? Going to Sonic for a hot fudge sundae. Even better? When your kid accidently dumps said hot fudge sundae in his lap, freaks out, and somehow gets it all over the backseat. Lucky for this kid, his daddy has a View Post

I was never an organized sports kind of kid growing up. I attempted to play t-ball for one season and was *that* kid who played short stop and did everything but stop a ball because I was in my own little world. While running the bases View Post

We had so much goodness jam packed into this past weekend that I’m still trying to physically recover from it all. My baby (baby!) turned 8. He was three when I started this blog. I miss that sweet little three year old, but I love View Post
