My Life. My Family. My opinions and more. Everyone needs an outlet and this is mine. You may be insulted, irritated or even mad at some of my thoughts and ideas but you also may feel like “YES! Someone else thinks the way I do!”
While traveling I find that I don’t need as much ME time as perhaps Shawn does. When we traveled with our kids Alex needed her own space as did Sam but Shawn and Alex seemed to really need their alone time. Alex would ask for a destination to have her own room occasionally when she …
We left Idaho and headed to Spokane to spend my birthday at a KOA there. It’s not really where I wanted to be but…based on our schedule and location, it was good enough. Spokane is one of those places Shawn and I visit and say…Blech, Spokane! It’s not really a place that we ever seem …
What else should you do when in Salt Lake City Utah? Well, besides posing at East High so we could send this photo to Sam (he’s a High School Musical super fan)? No, we had to visit with Robert, Katie and Amelia who have been friends and business partners for the past 10 1/2 years. …
White skin spots or a 3rd Nipple? Okay, yes it’s crass but… that’s me. I was born milky white or ‘butt white’ as my family calls it. Here I am at 6 months. Not a freckle or bit of olive skin in sight… I was super cute but was the color of nonfat milk. My …

We just demand and expect it and we get it 95% of the time Hey, they are teenagers…sometimes puberty and tude take control and make …
Can these be both Poop Faeries and African Fertility Gods? When I was putting everything out for our gazillionth garage sale today, I found these statues in two different boxes and put them together. I haven’t actually seen them together since Sam was little. I had this moment where I was taken back through time to …
I’m so irritated and tired of divisiveness regarding our election process and candidates in this country. Believe me when I tell you that YOU are part of the problem. YOU are who I’m talking to. YOU who posts things on Facebook with snarky images putting down a candidate from whatever side you are on. YOU …

Okay, so this bubble clay mask came today that I ordered from Amazon. It was only $10 and I had seen some of my friends post on Facebook that they loved it and it was amazing. For $10 it was worth a shot. My skin has been funky lately and I am willing to try …

Just a typical day in our house – or is it a petting zoo? Our killer cat brought in a Lizard! Let me paint the picture… I was in the bathroom, minding my own business. The kids were upstairs doing their schoolwork and Shawn was out for a walk. I hear Maddie (she has a …
Alex, my 18yr old daughter, has wanted me to make her a Mermaid Blanket for about 6 months now. I crochet but can’t follow patterns. At all. I’ve made all kinds of scarves, some hats, a baby bonnet for a Halloween costume for Alex (she wanted to be a baby), Sling bags, stuffed animal backpacks, …
