A Thank You Party
“Mom, why are they decorated for the Fourth of July in here?” Kidzilla asked this toward the end of our meal at a local restaurant on Saturday evening. Sure enough, the place looked ready for an Independence Day celebration. There were sprays of red, white, silver, and blue stars shooting up out of vases on…
Ten Things of Thankful – Way Better Week Edition
How in the world is it Friday already? Make no mistake, I’m happy to see it. But how did the week fly by so fast? I’m happy to report that this week has been much better than last – way better, even with the last three days of grade reporting for the end of the…
Learning to Pray
I am still in the home stretch of final grades for this marking period, so this is short and sweet. Truth be told, I should probably be skipping the blog post tonight and just getting my work finished. (Can you hear the Fab Hub gently pointing out that I’ll be exhausted if I stay up…
Ten Things of Thankful AND a Monday Listicles – I Love You Edition
Every now and then, I link up with Stasha’s Monday Listicles posts. I haven’t done one in a while, but I always love reading them. When I saw this week’s lists, though, I knew that list topic was not only a great (late) Listicles post, but it would also work perfectly for a Ten Things of…
Five Friday Favorites: Secrets for a Successful Marriage
The Fab Hub and I have no business telling anybody else how to have a happy or successful marriage. We are by far not the poster children for blissfully happy marriage. That sounds awful, doesn’t it? It’s not that we’re pessimistic or that we have a lousy relationship. Perhaps it’s just that we’re a lot…
Too Lazy Tuesday
Nobody likes Tuesday. Tuesday is worse than Monday. It’s not as hated as Monday. It’s not halfway there and hopeful like Wednesday. And it’s nowhere near the downslide into the weekend that made Thursday and Friday famous. Tuesday is just there, being awkward. Since all my efforts at being productive on Monday night were thwarted…
A Day on the Mountain
Happy weekend, friends! Or, maybe happy second half of the weekend? Today’s post is a goodie – a guest post by the Fab Hub! No, he’s not going to walk you through the process of making his Oregano Chicken…but he will walk you through his guys’ day hike at our favorite hiking spot recently. Follow…
Ten Things of Thankful – The Off Week Edition
Our week has been really…off. Everyone’s schedule has been altered in one way or another this week. Kidzilla had a school holiday. I had a teacher in-service day and an early dismissal day. The Fab Hub started his online classes. It feels like we haven’t quite gotten the hang of the week yet…and now it’s over.…
The Lunch Box Master
The Fab Hub is a lunch box master. This is pretty amazing since when we met, the man had no idea how to pack a lunch. In fact, while we were not dating, I used to bring a few extra items in my lunch to share with him since we worked at the same place…
Lessons Learned From a White T-Shirt
I should know better than to wear white shirts. It doesn’t matter how careful I am to avoid anything that might sully the pristine canvas of a white t-shirt…the shirt gets it every time. This time it was yellow highlighter. Of all things, how did that manage to come in contact with my torso? Zilla…
