Day 3: Learning as We Go

Well, we made it another day. Three. Three days. Today was probably the hardest but also the best. The kids have started to bicker between each other. Sisterly/brotherly love I guess. But also, I think we’re starting to get in more of a groove. Garen and I split our days- him taking the morning shiftContinueContinue reading “Day 3: Learning as We Go”

Day 1: COVID-19 Homeschool Begins

We survived Day 1. Or at least until 5:45ish, which is when I had a few minutes while the kids play happily (for the most part) and Garen is cooking dinner. You may have missed my post from yesterday about our COVID-19 schedule. Since I posted that, I’ve seen a lot of posts joking aboutContinueContinue reading “Day 1: COVID-19 Homeschool Begins”

Blueberry Crumble Pie with Shortbread Crust

I love blueberries….any way you fix them. Growing up, my Grammy made a lot of blueberry muffins, blueberry cobblers, and, occasionally, a blueberry pie. For quite a few summers in a row, one of my Uncle Mo’s good friends provided a steady supply of fresh blueberries. Grammy always froze them and we had (almost) freshContinueContinue reading “Blueberry Crumble Pie with Shortbread Crust”

Mommy Review Monday: Panera Bread App

It’s been a while since I’ve written a Mommy Review Monday but was spurred into thinking of it today because this app is something I feel I should share. Since I’m on the road this week, I enjoyed a lovely meal from Panera Bread. (Half Turkey BLT and Half Green Goddess Salad). I pulled outContinueContinue reading “Mommy Review Monday: Panera Bread App”

Mommy Review Monday: Full Focus Planner

I have mentioned in a few of my previous posts that I use the Full Focus Planner. I happened upon this wonderful thing on one of the many podcasts that I listen to. It’s been wonderful for me. Here’s what I like about it: It’s black and non-discrete. There’s a lot of flashy journals outContinueContinue reading “Mommy Review Monday: Full Focus Planner”

Wellness Wednesday: Eating Healthy on the Road

I’m on the road a lot for work. Eating healthy on the road is hard. Extra hard when you love food and you use food as a way to keep you entertained and/or you have a 3-4 hour drive. Here’s what I’ve been doing lately to make it work: Pack my lunch and snacks when IContinueContinue reading “Wellness Wednesday: Eating Healthy on the Road”

Dashboard Randomness: Sunrises and Bluebonnets

Today I had a golf tournament for one of the regional associations I’m part of in San Antonio. Usually, when I go to San Antonio I will drive down the night before but I have been on the go so much lately I decided to just wake up early and drive this morning. And, boy,ContinueContinue reading “Dashboard Randomness: Sunrises and Bluebonnets”

Mommy Review Monday: Discount Tire

I drive a lot. A WHOLE lot. It’s part of being in sales, covering the state of Texas. With that, my tires see a lot of wear. I buy my tires from Discount Tire. And I’m soooo glad. Here’s why: You can buy certifications for them and they cover repairs and replacements for the lifeContinueContinue reading “Mommy Review Monday: Discount Tire”

Mommy Review Monday: Faster Than Normal- how to use your ADHD super powers

I’ve never been diagnosed as ADHD, however, I’m pretty sure I’ve got it. For example, this is the third time I’ve started and stopped writing this blog and I’m only two sentences in. Or another example: I’m having a serious conversation about school and discipline with a friend about grounding from TV. I go fromContinueContinue reading “Mommy Review Monday: Faster Than Normal- how to use your ADHD super powers”

Photo Friday: Mr. Chairman, My Dad

My dad doesn’t often read this. And it’s a good thing because he’s a very humble man and may not approve of me bragging on him so much. However, I’m going to brag about him anyway. Last night he was “inaugurated” as the Chairman (equivalent of President) of the Mason Contractors of America (MCAA). He’sContinueContinue reading “Photo Friday: Mr. Chairman, My Dad”
