A Peek Inside Our New House

We've been living in our new house for ten days and it is mostly put together now.  The past two weeks from our expected close date to the actual close date to moving mid-week was pretty stressful, but as of yesterday we've felt pretty sett[...]

Work Space

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, Nora practically runs away from me in her rush to get to school. She is loving the cute little Montessori preschool we found for her in a renovated house, making a bunch of friends, and having such a grand old[...]

We Are Officially One of Those Families…

The house we are renting is a little 3 bedroom/1.5 bath ranch.  It's cozy and recently updated, and though it is a downsize from our house in Gillette, it's really starting to grow on me.  The location is going to be perfect for retur[...]

Post-Thanksgiving Gratitude

This is my last thankful post for 30 Days of Thanks.  On Thanksgiving there was so much to be thankful for: both girls cooperating so that Chris and I could sleep in until 9:30(!), of course delicious food, Chris being home with us whe[...]

Buttermilk Biscuits + Our Lovely New Kitchen

I am in love with our new kitchen. It's light and bright.  It's big and spacious.  It's the first kitchen we have ever had that actually fits every one of our appliances, kitchen tools and cooking utensils, with room to spare.[...]

A Toast

This evening was one of the best I have had in a very long time.  I am so far behind on blogging, it's not even funny...but that's life -- and, who am I kidding, that's one of the benefits of writing a blog without sponsors: no one get[...]

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂

Visiting my sweet tiny niece. I had the honor of being the doula at her birth and helping her come into the world. Her parents did amazingly (especially her mama) and everyone is excited to have another little girl in the family.
