Some days my Pepsi is the only thing that gets me through the day, seriously. Today was one of those days. I was dragging by lunchtime but my good 'ol Pepsi perked me right up. Now, I'll drink Coke if it's the only thing available, but I prefer the sweet taste of Pepsi anyday. …

Today was so cold that I didn't even leave the house. All. Day. Long. Now, that is HUGE for me! I am such a busybody and loathe being stuck at home. But this morning, I slept in for a bit, showered, put on my Texas sweatshirt, came downstairs to fix breakfast for the kids, and…

One of the most therapeutic {and messy} things we all do as moms with our kids is craft. Now, I'm not talking your run-of-the-mill Saturday night scrapfest or knit-a-thon, but your everyday craft "projects" {as my kids call them} that are complete with glue and paint and other random stuff you've managed to salvage…

I've often thought about getting rid of a lot of the stuff we have just sitting there in the third part of our garage in the way of everything. Last night, I was reminded just why I'm keeping it all there. After dinner, which was this mouth-watering chicken parmesan dish that D cooked up, …

I love Legos. N and W really enjoy making the examples that the little booklets that come with the Legos suggest and also coming up with their own creations. I love that they are multi-generational and timeless. Oh, and one toy you can never have too much of. ♥

Veterans, today we salute you. Thank you for…

Today while having lunch, N said to me, "Mom, from now on don't cut off the crusts from my pb & j because I love the crusts now." Music to my ears. Just one less step I have to go through. I am so thankful N has opened up his range of possibilites of things…

Today and for the past few days, actually, I've been totally grateful for my heater. I'm almost even too cold to type this but am looking forward to traveling to Texas later this month where hopefully there'll be a nice warm-up. ♥

To say I am a {Texas} football fan is such an understatement. I'm a big fan of football all-around. I think it's the purest and most passionate form of competition that exists on the planet. I can pretty much guarantee that if either of my sons ever plays football in any type of league, that…

I signed N up for racquetball lessons at the gym where I workout. Two of his soccer team friends are in the group lessons too and they all started last night. At first I was hesitant to add another thing to our schedule (I rather enjoy our leisurely Thursday nights), but I am SO glad my friend…
