This Mother’s Day Weekend

Hmmm…  My oldest child insists that on Sunday I should stay in bed all day. 
Not a bad idea…but with the weather forecast, I’m thinking I’d rather be OUTSIDE!  Even if that means working in the yard… that actually sounds good to me! (especially if Monday followed with a pedicure or massage…..hint, hint….)
If that’s not your [...]

Tis the season…be smart!

Tis the season when you dust off the bikes… Motorized and non-motorized. 
We’ve all done it…Taken the bike out on the open road…withOUT a helmet. Sure, it feels great.  Sure it’s fun.  It’s a casual ride, no big deal, right? 
That wasn’t the case yesterday afternoon on Dry Creek Road.  My friend’s husband saw the entire thing happen.  [...]

A musical weekend!

Sorry my “weekend” posts have been MIA lately.  Sometimes this blog has to take a backseat to life - as much as I love posting here!  Anyway, if you didn’t know already, this weekend is the infamous Boise Music Week production down at the Morrison Center.  The event is free to the public, but if [...]

And the Worst sis of the year award goes to…

ME.
Well, I’ve been working on a special birthday project for my little sister for a bit now…  I knew it wouldn’t be done in time for her birthday, which was yesterday.  So, I thought I’d at least give her a call.  She’s been on my mind every day this week, but somehow yesterday, it didn’t [...]

The Vengeance of “Falling Rock”

As a kid during car-trip family vacations, my dad used to tell us a fantastic story about a young Indian brave named “Falling Rock” who disappeared while on an expedition (I wish I could remember the story…I’ll have to ask him…siblings, chime in here if you remember how the story went…).  If memory serves correct, [...]

Happy Spring Break week!

Hope you had a blessed Easter!  Now that you are on a sufficient sugar high (LOL!), briefly, here are some things going on this week if you’re looking for something fun!  Note, exercise is a good thing this week with all that sugar and the large dinners consumed over the holiday weekend!
Today, March 24:  Buddy [...]

Celebrating Easter as a family

 I always like to find new and fun ways to teach my kids about our family’s faith - especially on important holidays such as Christmas and Easter.  It just seems to me that with all the commercialism it’s far to easy for kids to think Easter is just about candy, bunnies and springtime.  One thing I [...]

PILLOW FIGHT!

What’s the last time you had a good pillow fight?  If you’re like me, you may have had one not too long ago with your kids.  I remember as a kid thinking pillow fights were one of the best part of sleep-overs. 

Well, believe it or not, but there is now an official holiday - just for pillow [...]
