January 2020 January was a pretty good month. My husband and oldest daughter both had birthdays to kick off the month. My younger daughter went back to college and our house went back to an empty nest. We had some snow and some really cold days but there were a few nicer days thrown in […]
December 2019 December always seems to a very busy month. There is just so much to do and never enough time to do it. We had our first snowstorm of the season. I am not a fan of snow but my boss sent us home mid-morning and I am a big fan of leaving work […]
November 2019 Time seems to move faster and faster. I can’t believe that it is already December but here we are. November was a good month. I read 14 books during the month even though I listened to fewer audiobooks than I usually do. I did focus my reading on books that I had for […]
October 2019 Is it really November? The temps have dropped and I have had to pull out my winter coat to take the dogs for their daily walks. This year seems to just keep moving faster and faster. October was a good month. We went to my daughter’s college to see a football game and […]

July 2019 July was definitely a month of highs and lows. It was the last full month before my daughter leaves for college and she seemed to be constantly on the run. We adopted our sweet Piper who is keeping us on our toes. Let me tell you – puppies are a whole lot of […]
June 2019 Can someone please explain to me how it is already July? June seemed to speed by in a blur. I really thought that June was going to be a quiet month but I was very wrong. At the beginning of the month, someone who wasn’t paying attention hit our van. I feel like […]
May 2019 This was a month with a lot of really great moments. My daughter graduated from high school and with that came a lot of lasts: the last school dance, the last band concert, the last awards ceremony, the last test, and the last day of school. We are very proud of this young […]
April 2019 This was a pretty rough month for me. My husband’s sudden job loss in the last days of March really set me up to be knee deep in worry as April began. I have had to make adjustments to every area of our family budget and put a complete halt to all unnecessary […]
