TToT – Decking the Halls
Want to know what I really hate? I hate how crowded the house feels when it’s decorated for the holidays. I know, bah humbug. But it really always does and that makes me feel like the holidays are somehow…oppressive, no matter how enjoyable. But not this time! With the new hardwood floors in place this year,…
TToT – Thanksgiving Thankfulness
As I started to put this post together, it occurred to me that writing a thankful list at Thanksgiving was no different than any other week. Mission accomplished, I guess! If by listing the things we are thankful for each week, we’ve created a mindset where we no longer see giving thanks as a once-a-year…
TToT – Forward Motion
This week has felt like a blur of forward motion. The week sped by and somewhere in there I realized that we are about to get hurtled headlong into the holiday season. So here we go…
TToT – Lazy and Late
I am late to the party this week. We’ve had a very lazy weekend and I kinda want to get back to that since the next few will keep us hopping! But I’m going to get this in under the wire, thanks to Dyanne for giving me a little poke.
Soup of the Week – Pureed Broccoli Soup
Good things come to those who wait, right? Thanks for waiting for this week’s soup! I really did not think to plan ahead for this post. Well, I did – I decided I would make broccoli soup, but I did not exactly set aside time to actually make it. But I know you’ll forgive me because…
TToT When I’m Not Really Feeling It
It’s not that I don’t feel thankful this week. I absolutely do – for many things. But for some reason I am feeling irritable about posting. I was very excited to get my Soup of the Week posts back up and running, even if this week’s turned out to be a consolation prize because I…
TToT – Light at the End of the Tunnel?
Could there be light at the end of the tunnel with this upper respiratory nonsense? I thought I was pulling out of it earlier in the week and then Kidzilla came home from school at 10:30 on Monday morning with School Crud – that’s the technical term for whatever respiratory germ a particular school building is…
The Great Clean and Purge Project – Week Three Recap
You know, as I’m looking at that title, I’m wondering what kind of people need three weeks to clean and purge their home? Apparently, we do. Oh, right…and we’re not finished yet. In our defense, we had kind of a light week in the Clean and Purge department. We did not plow through the process…
TToT – Continued Progress
It doesn’t seem possible that a week has passed already. I can’t say I’m happy about how fast these days have flown. I need this summer to stretch long before us…we have a lot to do. And that’s exactly what we’ve been doing this week – a lot. We’ve continued to work on our Great…
TToT – Celebrations All Week!
I can’t even formulate a coherent introduction this week. I am just SO glad that school has finally ended and it is summertime! And so without further ado, let me dive right in with that as my first item of Thankful. It’s summertime! Pretty thankful for great music, too. Always. Two great versions of…
