Today, is Jarrett’s birthday.  Since it is the day before Halloween it always gets shadowed by all we have going on.  This is such a busy time of year!  We have had so much going on with both of my kid’s Halloween carnivals at school, birthday parties, OSU games, etc, that I have not come… Read More »

I feel a little guilty since I missed Tuesdays post, but I’m proud to say that we made it through our first stomach virus of the school year.  It wasn’t too bad, and only the two older boys got it, so now I can focus on something other than bathroom time.  I’m sure I could… Read More »

We had such a great time at Walk Around in Stillwater on Friday!  I had no idea it was so huge!  I haven’t been since college, where it was always crowded, but nothing like it was on Friday.  The entire town of Stillwater was a sea of orange every where we went!  There were vendors… Read More »

I wanted to thank Eco Goddess, an admittedly “very green” mom, for her recent post on simple steps to being green.  This is what I am getting at. . .this is what I am trying to live.  I am all about having someone lay out the direction I should take.  And I am always up for… Read More »
