July 2018 July has been quite the month for me. I was on vacation from work during the week of July 4th so the month got off to a fantastic start. My daughter spent the second week of the month in West Virginia with a friend and then came back to start the required summer […]
June 2018 June was a strange month around my house. My daughter was gone for a week and half so my husband and I had plenty of quiet time. We also had a lot of time in the car since we drove from St. Louis to Bloomington, Indiana and back twice. Summer has definitely arrived […]
May 2018 May was quite a month! Things started out really busy for us with end of the school year activities. Just as I thought things would calm down a neighbor’s tree fell on the power lines coming into my house causing some damage and a small fire that was quickly put out thanks to […]
April 2018 Well, April is over. It was a cold month and a very busy month. My daughter kept us hopping during the month. She took a trip to Atlanta with her high school band, performed at the Missouri State Solo and Ensemble Festival, took the ACT, had a couple of jazz performances, and acted […]

November 2017 November is gone! I can’t believe that we are already closing in on the end of the year. It was another busy month at my house. Once again, band took center stage in our lives. I had thought that we would be done with Marching Band by the time November started but the […]
October 2017 How is it already November?!?! October was a tough month for me. It was an incredibly busy month and I really don’t enjoy busy. There was either a marching band competition or a homecoming dance every single weekend. My daughter’s marching band uses very large heavy wooden props for their show that requires […]
