On Saturday I tweeted about going to Lowe’s Build and Grow. Have you taken your kiddos yet? It is a fun way to spend a half an hour on a Saturday morning. The kiddos have the chance to make a wood project and when they are done they get a certificate and patch to put…

Fun in the summer
My son’s tenth birthday was at the end of June. Double-digits…. it was a BIG deal for him. He was very excited to turn ten. It was like a magical cutoff that officially made him a “big kid”. I still can’t believe he is actually ten ~ it just doesn’t seem possible that my…
Ready or not – Summer is here!
During this time of year everyone loves to declare – NO MORE SCHOOL! I will freely admit that when I worked in the public schools, “School’s Out” (by Alice Cooper) was played shortly after I lovingly waved goodbye to the kiddos on busses for the last time of the school year. You know the song….feel…
Happy Mother’s Day
The kids had fun with Heathen Dad making these cute planters for me at Lowe’s Build and Grow yesterday. Happy Mother’s Day!
Dear Heathen Mom,
I am so glad to see the weather beginning to get nicer. I have had a terrible time the last few weeks with a sinus infection. I generally don’t get sick except for kidney issues, so this has been rough. Why can’t mom call in sick? Really should have read the fine print on…
Happy Birthday Heathen Dad
Today is my hubby’s birthday! Happy birthday Heathen Dad! He is my best friend and the most wonderful husband and father to my kiddos. The kids were wanting to get him something unique and I think they found just the thing. Heathen Dad is a geek by profession, so the kids wanted to find something…
HELLO 2010

As the first day of the new year is quickly coming to an end, I am considering what my goals for the year should be. I accomplished many of my goals for 2009, but a few will…
Family Adventure Weekend
Last weekend we packed up the kiddos and headed to Kansas City. Heathen Dad attended a Sharepoint Saturday conference (aka got his geek on at a geek conference). The plan was for me and the kiddos to have fun on Saturday and then all of us hang out together Sunday. Oh what fun we had. …
Changes are Good
I have not blogged on a regular basis for the last several months. It seems that when I’m not with my family or doing homework for my classes, I have been doing things for our local homeschool group. I have not had time to write, despite the fact that it is an outlet that means…
Rainy Day Activity – Playdough
If you follow me on Twitter you know it is another rainy day here in Missouri. If you don’t already know that, you really need to follow me on Twitter, lol! We are going to make some homemade playdough today. You can make some too, unless of course you live somewhere the sun is actually…
