Makita Training and Pheasant Hunting in Utah

I was fortunate enough to be invited to attend a training and pheasant hunt in Utah with Makita this weekend. It was a great time and I got to learn a ton about the Makita tools we carry. I’m still constantly amazed that they have soooo many battery operated tools available. A few of theContinueContinue reading “Makita Training and Pheasant Hunting in Utah”

Photo Friday: Puddle Jumping

We were happy to be able to take all four kiddos to Pioneer Reunion (Clay County’s big yearly festivities). There’s multiple parades and a great rodeo as well. Boot fever struck our house as we got ready to head out there and realized only one of the twins would have a pair of boots. HeavenContinueContinue reading “Photo Friday: Puddle Jumping”

Nothing like playing in the mud! I’m pretty sureContinueContinue reading “Photo Friday: Jeep it Up”

Photo Friday: New England Favs

Here are a few from our girls’ trip to New England- Newport, Boston, and Salem.  There’s MUCH more content to come, including our itinerary, but these are some of my favorites, not just because of the quality but because of the memories.  House of Seven Gables…can I be honest and say I don’t remember theContinueContinue reading “Photo Friday: New England Favs”

Celebrating Dad

As I started to write this in preparation for posting on Father’s Day, I saw this…. Looking at this screenshot, you might not even know what struck me as important.            Share your story here… As I sat for a minute, pondering, I wondered how I’d never looked at that phraseContinueContinue reading “Celebrating Dad”
