Journal prompt: What do you remember about shopping with your mother? Each Tuesday, I am going to be offering prompts or ideas. If you don't write in your journal regularly - I am going to encourage you to write just ONCE A WEEK and answer the question/idea that I give on Tuesdays. These ideas hopefully will spark a memory and you will be able to capture that in what you write/record so that it can be left for your children/grandchildren/family/friends. Give as much detail as you can when answering. Will you do this for me? Will you do this for your families? You can write it down in a journal, you can type it up on a computer or journaling software, you can take a recorder and talk, you can videotape your answers, you can even scrap a page with the journaling. It doesn't ... [Read More]

Life 365 | Week 33
Monday, August 9, 2010 JJ and Beth's favorite way to play is to grab all of their toys and scatter them across the living room and the kitchen. I dream of the day when I can have a whole room just for their toys so that we don't have to spend every waking hour picking up toys. So usually I get upset and the kids grumble about having to pick up. But then their are those special moments when I actually get caught up in watching them use their imaginations and the mess doesn't bother me so much. I hope I can remember these moments more and not lose my temper because I really do love that they are learning, growing, and having fun together. Tuesday, August 10, 2010 We took a trip to Costco and Walmart today to fill our cupboards. The kids were really great and it was ... [Read More]
Life 365 | Week 2
Monday, January 4, 2010 Time to get back to reality. The kids went back to school today and then we started doing cleaning/organizing of their rooms. We cleared out some shelves and spots for their new toys! Tuesday, January 5, 2010 My computer has been really sluggish lately - so I wiped the hard drive clean and started reinstalling everything and backing everything up. I almost had it ready when my internal hard drive completely died on me. So we took it to Simply Mac to have a new hard drive installed. The good news is that my original 250gb hd is going to be replaced with a internal 500gb hard drive - so I'm going to have space! It will be great. My great hubby also purchased me a 1TB Time Capsule - so I will have a great backup system now when I get my computer ... [Read More]
Project 365 | Week 16
Monday, April 13, 2009 We celebrated Beth's Birthday today. I can't believe it has really been 4 years since she was born. Cody and Becki came over for dinner and the party and I'm so glad that they live here and could come and celebrate with us. We had Beth's favorite meal, Beef Ravoli with Red Sauce. And then Beth got to open her presents. She got some Princess Flip-flops and sunglasses from Cody and Becki and a My Little Pony house with mini ponies & Disney Princess Dress-up Dolls from Joey and I. Becki's sister Ashley, made Beth a darling My Little Pony Cake, which she just loved. Happy Birthday Beth! Tuesday, April 14, 2009 Beth got one more day to shine. Her teacher crowned her the Birthday Princess for the day at school and of course that just made her so excited. She wore ... [Read More]
Project 365 | Week 10
Monday, March 2, 2009 We got out the kids travel cups today as I am starting to put things together for our trip. Just looking at things and starting to plan out what I want to do and what I want to take. The kids like to play with these cups because they can put it around their necks. Pretty goofy kids - but I'm glad they can find delight in the little things! Tuesday, March 3, 2009 JJ's school is having a read-a-thon this month. Each student who reads at least 500 minutes (or is read to) will receive a pass to a local water park and also a pass to a family fun center. I've been really slacking off lately with reading to my kids, so this is a great opportunity to get back on track. We decided to start with The Complete Tales of Winnie-the-Pooh by A.A Milne. This book was ... [Read More]
