I stopped drinking pop a few weeks ago in an effort to curb my sugar addiction. In replace of pop I have been drinking sparkling water like crazy. We found this stuff at the local grocery and I love it. They have so many flavors like grapefruit, berry, lime, cran-raspberry, lemon and orange. They are all delicious [...]

Half-Nutz had a double header today. We won the first game 13-12 but the second game did not go as well. I am not sure what the score was on the second game but the umpire called it after the 5th inning because of the mercy rule so that means they had at least 10 [...]

When I did the posting about our house the other day I forgot to talk about something really cool. If you go look back at the pictures you will notice that we have an upper deck. You can get to the upper deck from both outside and inside. It connects to a room upstairs that [...]

I got something in the mail today that made me think back to a long time ago. When I was a little girl I always thought that maybe someday I would marry a cowboy. I figured that my perfect guy/cowboy would be tall and have brown hair, brown eyes and ride a horse… kinda like [...]

My sister Vanessa took her kids Isabel, Sofia and Cael to get their pictures taken today. Are these not the cutest little kids you have ever seen? They all live in Michigan. Isabel just turned 4 years old, Sofia is 2 years old (and a leap year baby) and Cael just turned 4 months old.

There are times when I can make it through an entire day without taking a single picture or without any idea of what I am going to post on my website. Today was the opposite of that. Today it seems like every time I decided what to post about something else post worth would happen. At the [...]

Me and JP played our first game of Table Shuffleboard today.  I am not very good at losing and he killed me but I am totally willing to play him again. I thought that the stuff on the table was salt until I had JP taste it.  Has anyone ever played this before?

Today is my birthday! We have been celebrating all weekend but today was definitely the icing on the cake. I seriously have the most amazing BF that any girl could ask for!

We are slowly getting things put where they belong in our new house. Today it was decided that this would go well in the master bathroom. We will use the inside to store bath products. JP bought this a few years ago at a store called Second Use off of 1st Avenue in Seattle. Here is a [...]

That’s right people only 9 more shopping days left until my birthday. Can you believe I am gonna be 25 (insert crowd laughing sound here). I went to Nordstroms after work today. Here is a picture of what I bought. What do you think is in the bag? ?

Every once in awhile me and JP like to drink a martini and Lily likes a cherry temple!! Something about the perfect blend of stoli vodka, olive juice and olives really tastes great. A couple days ago I found out from a friend at work about Sip-N-Style and I thought it was very awesome. I sent Melinda [...]

This is probably TMI but it’s my website so what I say goes, right?  I totally got the idea for todays post around 6:10am this morning. I recently purchased a few new pairs of panties but it wasn’t until today that I wore a pair of them for the first time. I knew right away these were the ones for me. Cotton yet [...]

Lily was playing out front after dinner today and took a tumble off of her scooter. Ouch! The odd thing is that she only scraped her chin.

One of my favorite things about our new house is the master bathroom. The first time I walked into the bathroom I said outloud “I can do a cartwheel in here”. I haven’t actually done the cartwheel but I am confident that I could. When you walk into the bathroom on the far wall there is a [...]
