Drew has a constant NEED. He needs an unbelievable amount of sports jerseys. He’s not even particular. He’ll take any team and any player. They do need to have a number on the back, which frequently adds to the price tag of his NEED. We have recently started facilitating a “Responsibility Chart” which spells out his required tasks (make bed, [...]

My life is under construction. It’s an eighteen year, multifaceted job with several different rollouts. We are in the demolition phase. And it hurts…boy does it hurt.

I’m not a “get your hands dirty” kinda girl. But I pride myself on being (almost) willing to try anything once. With less than a month before our dual birthday party extravaganza, this weekend meant we needed to get into action mode! So… I made my first attempt at gardening. As most homeowners know, and I’m learning, is that there [...]

Recently I acquired something on Craigslist. When I went to make the exchange, I discovered that the person I had been engaging with online had been a girl I had grown up with. In pulling up to her grown up house, it might as well have been her childhood house. Looking at the family she created, it seemed almost identical [...]
