As many of you already know, we made an offer on a perfect house in Florida this week and they accepted. So come October 15 (Jeffrey’s 40th birthday!!!!) we’re going to be Florida homeowners. Step one of Operation Move to Florida will be done. Now AL just needs to find the right job to transfer [...]
I’m not a huge Pottery Barn fan. Some of their stuff is very nice. But the place is ridiculously overpriced. While not a fan of spending money on them, I am a huge fan of their decorating style and model rooms. Just look at this nook setup. I would die for this: And this bedroom? [...]
We had a fun time in Florida again! I hated to leave. First we went to the river. Thalia got to go boating (and drive the boat!), catch and release minnows, and see Little Bit and Brandy! Then we picked grapes at a vineyard. How fun! And we went to the butterfly garden at the [...]
So we’re driving home from the pool. I gave her some trail mix to snack on in the car. When we get home and pull into the garage, I turn around and Thalia says in this sweet little voice, “I spilled it”. Oh my gosh. What a mess! I was about to get mad, then [...]

We had a fun weekend. We had a picnic on Saturday and had Mike and Danna over to play Settlers of Catan. We had a lot of fun. And Thalia was a good girl entertaining herself by chasing the dogs all over the house. She was super hyper because she got to stay up late. [...]
We had lunch with Michelle, Robert and Joe last week. Thalia was shy at first, as usual. Then she opened up a bit. The kids made quite a mess at the restaurant, but we all had fun anyway. Then we went to the park in Old Colorado City and the kids played on the stage [...]
You ever have one of those weeks where you just have low energy? I’m having a couple of those weeks. I feel worn out… tired ALL the time. I’ve been sleeping fine. I’ve been napping some. I’ve been exercising. I’ve been doing my yoga… positive thinking… cooking… cleaning. I’ve been doing all the typical stuff. [...]
From Whole Living Magazine… Grilled Peaches. You put some olive oil, salt and pepper on them then grill them for several minutes. Then you add some more olive oil and some basil. It’s supposed to go great with prosciutto. They tasted great! But more importantly, they came out beautiful! Thalia loves corn on the cob. [...]
