  • I’ve got to finish my in memory of my mom posts but that will have to wait. Today, Hubby told me to write for me not necessarily for an audience. So I am going to talk about some of the feelings I have been feeling during these last few days. Maybe if I get it…

  • The past week has been trying for us. The Oldest had his first heartbreak and break up. I’ve had to be a “friend,” mom, and sounding block. As I said, it’s been trying. For 2 weeks prior to the break up, we have gone through mopey Oldest, angry Oldest, and then happy Oldest. It was…

  • Every year or almost every year since 2010, we have a tradition of going to see the sunflowers in a town near us. They have a field that blooms for about 2 weeks. It is absolutely gorgeous so many people stop to take photos and even draw pictures of the sunflowers. It’s gotten so popular…

    I’m currently on a 14-year-old trip with the Youngest. HE turned 14 on Saturday. When his brother turned 14 two years ago, he went on a trip to Hershey Park. Back in March, I asked the Youngest where do you want to go? He had 3 criteria – a foreign country, a beach, and Disney.…

  • As I was organizing my posts from this site, I realized I never finished writing about our Super Trip in 2013. The Super Trip took place almost 6 years ago when the boys were 8 and 10. Now they are almost 14 and 16. Oops! When I left off, I got as far as Georgia…
