This past weekend we went to the annual Downtown Hoedown in Lufkin, Texas and despite living in the area forever we had never went before. I wish we had because the kids had fun and it was a lot of fun to look at everything. There was live music, a car show, vendor booths selling food and different items and activities for the kids. Here are a few of the things we did while we were … [Read more...]
Kids and mowing the yard
April 14, 2012 by 2 Comments
I can't really recall when I started doing things like helping mow the yard and stuff along those lines when I was a kid. And I was not really sure when I was going to either let my kids help or ask their help with doing yard work. It was mostly a question of when would I think they were old enough and truthfully I could not come up with an answer of when I would be ready to allow them. I think a … [Read more...]

I vote for no more Mondays!
January 9, 2012 by 2 Comments
I think it is time we all start a petition to vote Mondays out and erase them and just forget about them altogether. Because today has not been the best Monday. And while I know it could have been worse and there are people who have it worse, it was just a rotten day all around. I will just make a list of everything that happened before 9 a.m. that just made it suck: We woke up with no … [Read more...]

So my son got a new bathrobe from my sister for Christmas and that is nice and all. There is just one problem with that. He won't ever take it off! No joke, he sleeps in it, eats in it, luckily he can't bathe in it or I am sure he would. He even goes outside in it.Luckily I have gotten him to put on regular clothes twice to leave the house since Christmas. Even though when we come home he just … [Read more...]
Taco Soup Recipe
July 9, 2011 by 2 Comments
I will be honest when I first heard about this recipe from my friend Christina, I was very skeptical. In my head Taco and Soup just did not go together. I relented though and decided to give it a go. The ingredients for taco soup, had a few things in the beginning that while my kids and their dad eat I absolutely refuse to eat. They included corn and kidney beans. So that left me with a pretty … [Read more...]
