A chatty look at a 40 year old’s college freshman year, her kids, husband and other craziness
As of today life is finally back to being semi-sane. Both boys got off to college yesterday and I received a phone call from each of them this morning, Simon wanting to know where I had put his mixing bowls and if the cupcake pans belonged to him, and Tommy letting me know he got [...]
We’ve been pretty busy around here, what with preparing for the royal wedding and all! My mother is here from Idaho so that means lots of cleaning and spray painting things. Simon returned from his freshman year at UF, so that means lots of cooking, cleaning and pool volleyball. Olivia is prepping for her AP [...]
I had an amazing birthday this year. I was spoiled rotten by my husband, he got me an ipad2. (i’m so in love with it) My boys both called me and Olivia bought me a mortar and pestle for my kitchen and made me an amazing card. I heard from all of my family members/parents/siblings [...]

My belly is full and my brain is buzzing. I spent 4+ hours today at my first cooking class. I was so nervous but soon realized I had nothing to worry about. The teacher is so sweet and my classmates are all really nice people. We broke into 4 groups and each group was in [...]
Simon’s Eagle Court of Honor went off without a hitch and we can now all cross that off our list of things to do. Tom made a video of Simon’s scouting life that was absolutely amazing, he is in the process of figuring out how to best upload it so everyone can see it. I [...]
