A slew of things have been keeping me busy for the past week or so. While I've enjoyed the time away from blogging, I am starting to miss it. I've decided to indulge myself back to mommy blogger world with a recap post, of sorts. My boys have enjoyed being boys, brothers, and most of all,…

WOW!! Our backyard now has a LIFE! Thank you so much to Grammy & Popo for your investment in Nathan & Will's playtime (and our backyard!). I fell in love with this outdoor playscape the moment I walked into Costco and saw it back in early Spring. Mom (a.k.a., Grammy) vowed to help make it happen! …

We've made two trips to the library just this week and have filled our library book baskets in our family room with lots o' great reads. Both Nathan and Will are in the summer reading program and loving to jot down each day the books they've read onto their summer reading log. In addition to…

Last Friday I took the kids bowling for the first time this summer. I am certain it won't be our last! We've already lined up to meet my dear pal, Krista, and her two boys for bowling one day over the next week or so, and plus, it is SO dirt cheap since I signed the kids up…

In today's edition of Five Things I'm naming my top five to-dos before summer officially comes to a close. I can't believe I'm actually saying that! I haven't had enough use of my flip-flops yet! I'm praying I can still wear them in October. Yeah, right! The kids and I saw this place while on…

Where do I begin? Today was a super-cool day for the kids, my mom, and I. First, we started out by driving over to catch the MAX bus over to Crown Center Square. Riding the bus would've been enough excitement in and of itself. Seriously. The boys were SO, SO, SO thrilled to be riding…

Today on the way back from N's violin lesson, we spotted a very small but quaint Farmer's Market that had set up shop on one of the busy roads of a nearby neighborhood. It was just N and I in the car so I decided that it wouldn't be too chaotic keeping up with just…
