Long time no write. What can I say, life gets in the way LOL We seem to have seen a lot of changes in my house in the past year. It's definitely been a year of learning. I've decided to breathe life back into my blog. I need a place to get my thoughts out and...
My Blog
I don’t have a lot of time to write, but when I do find time and I feel it’s shareable, or when I just want to sound off, destress or get my thoughs out, this is where you’ll find it. This is my space to say what I want without interruption. Everyone needs a little of that.
Costa Rica
Welcome to a new school year!
Oh joy. Every year I tell myself that I'm going to have it together, I'm going to be organized and have a schedule and stick to it. Every year I fail. I run a business and homeschool at the same time. The past few years I've spent a month getting assignments in order...
Avocado Strawberry Green Smoothie
Yum, yum, yum. This may be my favorite yet. I love avocados in every form and now I've found a new way to enjoy them. My husband called this one guacamole, a drinkable guac I suppose. The avocado, which is a fruit by the way, is packed full of vitamins and healthy...

Make your Christmas a recycled one!
First off, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Season's Greetings or whatever wish you'd like to hear this time of year! We've already had one family gathering this year and I realized there's several things I reuse throughout the year when it comes to wrapping gifts....
The Sadness of School Shootings
First, my thoughts go out to those Newtown residents and the sadness they will be facing in the coming weeks. I can't even imagine. My baby is the same age as those children. As much as I want to stop reading about the incident, like many others, I keep wondering why...
A homemade Thanksgiving
I was so busy preparing for the holiday, I totally didn't get a chance to post my plans. The flip side is that I can tell you what failed and what was a hit! This was our first Thanksgiving with family and it was just about perfect. Since we were doing a...
Do you have a Marilyn Manson?
So many directions this blog post could go! I recently had a discussion with my kiddo about "centering" himself before a soccer game. It's taken quite awhile for me to work out that he needs two hours to get ready for a game. He plays best when he gets ready and has a...
