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 »

When we think of Halloween, we probably think of ORANGE and BLACK (well, some of us think of these gorgeous colors all year long. . .football season, basketball season, baseball season, soccer season. . .and YES, I STILL LOVE MY ‘BOYS EVEN AFTER THIS WEEKEND!!!!).  However, this year, I’m trying to incorporate at least a… Read More »

   I just finished reading Melanie’s post about kids and allowance.  Now, for some reason, my kids have never really had “chores” until just recently. It was just expected that everyone would pitch in and help out where needed.  That being said, I ended up doing MOST of what needed to be done.  I was the dishwasher,… Read More »

   As a kid I loved fall break, it meant the holidays were just around the corner.  I grew up in Pawhuska, here in Oklahoma, for those of you that don’t know.  It was, and still is, a pretty small town. Fall was homecoming and the homecoming parade.  It was middle school dances at Cedar Ridge, which… Read More »

    I don’t really think much about the size of my family until I see another family that is the same size as us.  I usually ask myself “Do we really look like that?”  and even though the answer is yes it’s still funny, because it really is just normal to me.

In February, I took a huge step. . .I started a new job, leaving a company that I had been with for 8 years.  Professionally, it was a good step.  I had no idea that it would lead to a personal journey to reduce my own carbon footprint. . .
