toothless.

Look what happened while I was gone! He lost a tooth! Could he possibly be any cuter? The funny thing was that he lost his “lost” tooth. From the moment I walked in the door after returning from my California trip (which was awesome by the way!) we were looking for Mason’s tooth. Sadly, we […]

feeling fall.

Today I was really feeling Fall and thoroughly enjoying it. Cool air, sweatshirts and jeans. Leaves, leaves and more leaves on the ground and many more to come down! But I love the smell and the colors of the Fall outside. I made a delicious (if I do say so myself) Fall meal to go […]

Mom on the loose.

I’m on a plane right now and when I get off I will be in Sacramento, Ca. And then making a car drive to my former town that I called home for 5 years, Chico. It’s been almost a year and a half since we watched the big moving truck drive away with all of […]

preparing for fall.

Fall is my favorite time of the year for lots of reasons. One reason is because I like the way my house looks when it’s decorated for fall. It’s extra cozy and comfy with the warm colors of orange, mustard and deep reds and browns. I like to change the look for the season mostly […]

you gotta roll with it.

“Hey Kaia can you go pick some basil for me?” This is what she came back with. Yes, I think that will be enough. You just never know. Daily I pray, “Lord help me to have open hands. Help me to just roll with it. Give me grace and wisdom along the way.” And then […]

out of season.

Once again I’ve been introduced to a new “friend” via twitter. We have a common interest in running among other things so we’ve been chatting back and forth a bit. I checked out her blog yesterday titled Fruit in Season. Although I’ve just tuned in to her blog I’m really enjoying it. She has a […]
