This past weekend was Jackson's Birthday Weekend, so we celebrated ALL weekend. We haven't always been able to celebrate our middle child, because about this time of the year he starts getting bored and restless at school, which leads to talking out of turn, or gluing his classmates seats down, or bringing Nerf guns onto school property. And all of those things result in Parent/Teacher Conferences or in-school suspension or other punishments that don't warrant birthday parties. But this ... Read More
Weekend Rewind
Well let me be honest: this is more of a recap of the last 2 weekends because every time I sit down at my computer I fall asleep. Or get distracted by a cooking video on Facebook, which I know I'll never make but there's something hypnotic about watching onions simmer in butter. The Washington State Fair (formerly the Puyallup Fair) has been open the entire month of September and we had almost managed to avoid the whole thing this year. But the kids get a free ticket from the school, so we made ... Read More

I had an unplanned, long weekend and with the weather being in the 70's, it was amazing. We didn't have much going on this weekend and I LOVED it.

I thought I'd been shopping in ... Read More

Anybody else need a weekend from their weekend? Boy, that would be nice. :) On Friday, we headed out for a Triple Date Night at Boathouse 19 in Tacoma. They have a great Happy Hour that starts at 9pm. If you go, please try the 7 layer dip. It's a tad spicy, but if I can handle it...you can handle it. Because I don't handle spicy, so it's not that hot. And thank you to the Grandmas & Grandpas for watching all the kids! Oh and I trimmed some bangs this week. (I mean, I didn't do it, my ...

Weekend Rewind
Has it really been 2 whole weeks since I've been on here? Nope. It's been 3. Ew. That's gross. I wish I could say I've been off doing important & amazing things, but HELL-O. It's the best week of the year. The week all of us have been waiting for. That's right. It's HBO Watchathon Week. It's like Spring Break for adults. All episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm, ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I think next year, I will save a few vacation days for this week... But between the episodes, I've also ... Read More
