Thanksgiving Here We Come!

Another year has flown by, even though it feels like it was only yesterday that I was making my first Thanksgiving turkey in my new kitchen! It's hard to believe that it's already been a year, and thinking back I have so much to be thankful for that I don't even know where to begin.

Throwin' it back...Episode 4.

Two years ago I wrote a blog post to parents. Two years later...I still send this plea out. Growing up in today's world is not an easy task. Things have changed so much, and the pressures are much different. Take a moment to click on this link to my blog post from November 29, 2011. If you like it, leave me a comment. If you like it...share it. If you like it...live it.

Parental Plea

Grocery Employees...I stand behind you!

This morning I sat on the couch doing something that I don't do very often. I planned out meals for the next three days. Now for some people that is a normal thing, they plan out their meals a week in advance and make one trip to the store every week. I'm not like that though...I love to go to the store almost every day, see the wonderful ladies at QFC, and get my requisite daily outing done. :) But today was different. The workers of some of the major grocery stores could be striking soon.

In between Mini Vacations...

I wish that I could say that today I sat on the couch the entire day, eating bon-bons and drinking wine. But that would be nothing but a big, fat lie! Today, just like any other day in the life of a housewife, was busy. My husband may be on vacation, and we may be in between mini vacations...but my job never really does stop.

Overwhelmed...

The past couple of days have been nothing short of overwhelming, and I don't mean it in the negative sense of the word. The amount of readers, comments, Facebook "likes," and e-mails that have happened amazes me. I guess I didn't realize that as many people would see this article and respond in some way or another.

In Defense of Miss Paula Deen!

You all ready for some REAL Housewife of Snohomish County REALness? Well you are about to get some, so I'm going to warn you now that these are my views and my views only. I know that some may not agree with me, but look...it's my blog...and you can choose to read or not to read it. With that being said...Miss Paula Deen, I got your back, girl!

Time fades them...but never erases...

Today is the 2nd Wednesday of the month. While some of you may be like, "Yea. And?" Well, for me it means that it is the day I head to The Healing Center for group with Healing Club 1, 2, 3. This is the grief group for 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders that I have the privilege of being the "Group Host" for.
