Today has been a great day- this afternoon in particular. Without going into too much detail, my maternal grandmother has been dealing with some medical issues that not only left her home bound, but with limited mobility as well.

We are a week into Spring Training for Major League Baseball, which gives me so much joy! Some of my earliest memories were going to the watch the Houston Astros play baseball in the summer with my Uncle. My husband shares the same memories of his father taking him to Houston Oilers football games. Neither... Continue Reading →
In August 2018 I volunteered to take over as Den Leader for my son's Cub Scout Den. While it is a lot to take on, I have to say it has been fun finding new and unique ways to fulfill our Adventures (badges) with things that get the Scouts out of the classroom and interacting... Continue Reading →

Earlier this week I realized I forgot to post last Friday. I'm sorry. We have been counting down all summer for the arrival of my niece who is staying with my mom and stepdad for 2 weeks. She and Jamie are 3 months apart and only see each other twice a year so we have... Continue Reading →
