We’re getting into the swing of summertime around here – staying up late, later meal times, lots of trips to the pool, and some other random adventures along the way. One day last week (I can’t remember which day, I was working) SuperMan and the girls went strawberry picking. It was a beautiful sunny day … Continue reading »

Very Pinteresting!
I’m still addicted to Pinterest. Are you? It’s a great way to wind down at the end of a busy day – especially when SuperMan is watching something on TV that I don’t care about. I feel like Johnny Five when I’m browsing – “Input! Input!” So, I thought I’d share some of … Continue reading »

Four
FOUR MORE DAYS ONLY FOUR. MORE. DAYS. I can hardly wait!! Four more days until the girls are out of school for the summer. It’s almost like we’re “on hold” right now, waiting for the 24th to arrive. Even though the next week or two after that won’t exactly be slowing down, there’s that milestone … Continue reading »
Cinnamon Bread
I found this recipe on Pinterest (imagine that!?!) and decided that it sounded way too good to not try it out. Amish Cinnamon Bread was what the recipe was called, but then she talked about how it was an alternative recipe to traditional Amish cinnamon bread which, apparently takes a long time to make. I … Continue reading »

Field Day
Today was Little Bit’s Field Day at school. Since SuperMan had the week off of work, he went to watch her ~ about which she was VERY excited. She’s really missed her Daddy while he was working those long hours the past month. She was really looking forward to having her Daddy with her today … Continue reading »
Currently
Currently, I’m Cooking a batch of shredded beef burritos in the crock pot. They smell SO good right now. Listening to SuperMan shampooing the carpets for me. I’m such a lucky girl to have a man who spoils me so. Nibbling on some almonds and dried cranberries – my new favorite snack. Counting down the … Continue reading »
