This has been such a busy week. Lots of time spent on outings with family and a little trip with my husband. Of course everywhere I went, I took my Kindle with me. I was able to do lots of reading while we were travelling in the car. A few weeks ago my daughter said …
I haven't been home much this week. Thanks to my parents living on the same property that we do, my husband and I were able to get away for a couple of days. We both needed this getaway so much. We just enjoyed relaxing, thrift store shopping and discovering new restaurants. In two weeks we'll …

I was thinking today how settled in we feel in our not-so-new-anymore home. My husband was saying last night that even with his longer commute he feels very content here. This week I've been doing a little bit of "school" every day with my four year old to get him ready for this fall. Rod …
