It’s pajama day, again…Yep. I don’t even need to explain this. It’s pajama day again. Every. Single. Day. Today, like most others, I get up, do a little work, get the kids up for school, and if I’m motivated put clean pajamas on. There’s something comforting and “homey” about being in my pajamas all day.Continue reading “It’s pajama day, again”

It’s been almost four weeks. Four weeks of no activities, four weeks of very little contact, four weeks of staying at home. It’s been almost four weeks, and If I’m being completely honest, I woke up today tired of it.   I miss my daily walking route, and the neighbors I see along the way.Continue reading “It’s not about me”

I have a cat. Yes, I know you’re thinking I must have a crazy house with all the animals and your right, it is crazy. The cat is named Charlie. He is 5 and still very persnickety. He was a birthday present for one of my daughters and has become the family couch potato. WeContinue reading “Charlie at work”

It’s Easter morning 2020 and everything’s different. The roads are quiet, the churches are empty, the restaurants are closed. Never in our wildest imaginations could we have dreamed up this scenario.

Bright, talented, kind, socially aware. We remember when you started preschool. We thought graduating in 2020 sounded so cool, and so far away. Story after story reported your schooling. You were the class of 2020. What would life be like then? What would your graduation hold? So interesting, so exciting. You’ve weathered many storms. WhoContinue reading “To the class of 2020”

I made a salad today. Not very exciting I know, but since I’m not usually a salad eater it was out of the norm for me. Being stuck at home all day has given me the ability to try new things, and eat a lot! So today I made a salad. I took my time andContinue reading “The good stuff is at the bottom”

We have a running joke at our house. As our kids entered high school and college talk became common conversation, my husband would joke with our two oldest that they would always have a full ride at Mommy/Daddy University. Room and board would be covered, and they could have all the snacks and coffee theyContinue reading “Mommy/Daddy University”

Some of you may know that 2 weeks ago we got a puppy. If life doesn’t feel crazy enough, we decided to make sure it was!  No sleep, nighttime potty breaks, teething, barking all the wonderful parts of puppy training are now a constant in my daily routine. Luckily, we have plenty of time toContinue reading “Puppy Training”

This morning I woke up and, like most of you, adjusted my mindset to be prepared to be home all day. I am a very active person, so are my children, so it feels like we are monkeys in the zoo these days! People joke that their children climb the walls, well mine actually do! Continue reading “Get to do list”

I went to Target today. I was anxious as I walked in and felt the need to hurry. The “stay at home” order has started. But I needed some groceries, so I went early in hopes of finding a few things. The parking lot was still quite full, and people were quietly doing their shopping.Continue reading “What Really Matters”
