November 11, 2012

I spent all day yesterday on a ladder and with a bucket cleaning our front porch. Not until I was done did I feel genuinely bad my neighbors had to look at our mildewed white porch all fall. I do this a couple of times a year but it has been a really rainy year [...]

Even The Universe Finds Us Ridiculous

November 9, 2012

My husband and I have been together since we were kids in rural Michigan.  Our families still share vegetables, (mostly because they want to rub it in each others faces who’s came in first and who has the biggest) and my husband never had a washer and dryer growing up.  Sundays were laundromat days with [...]

It is so hard to voice political opinions when you are talking friendships. You want to respect one another. I have been very careful to not voice my opinion online. I was just over on my Facebook page and found so many people I respect and care about are complaining about the outcome of the [...]

We Could all Use a Laugh Today

November 7, 2012

You know, the moment you realize you just sprayed your laptop screen with your dogs breath spray instead of the screen cleaner. [...]

Amazing Birthdays and Amazing Story

October 12, 2012

Yesterday we celebrated our twins 13th birthday. They were very sick when I was pregnant with them. They had what is called “Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome” that only affects identical twins.  They shared a placenta and when their umbilical cords attached they attached too close together.  Feeder vessels grew and shunted blood from one [...]
