With father’s day this weekend, I’ve been thinking a lot about the important dads in my life. My own daddy is a man I admire and love beyond compare. He is smart and stubborn, caring and controlling, loving and a bit of a lunatic sometimes. He has the remarkable power to makes me smile and [...]

Image source unknown. Or rather, let’s make THE list! It’s been a rough week around here. Not necessarily bad, but I am exhausted. All. The. Time. No energy. I am not sure why, probably physical therapy for my knee – they’ve had me work at it pretty hard. Hopefully next week is better so I [...]

soaking up the sun

…after I soak up all of the sun I can Today is Labor Day in the US, so I am probably out somewhere running around with my little girls and hubby, celebrating the holiday, enjoying the last few days of summer. And it may or may not involve some ice cream.  I know by now most [...]
