The birthday celebrations were minimal this year. I just didn’t have the time or energy to throw a big bash with friends or family. I don’t need a huge to-do for my birthday. I’m happy with a good meal and my man. The weekend before my birthday I got to hang out with my college girls. I got a couple… Read more →

In the fall of 1998, I embarked on the greatest adventure…college at Sonoma State. While I still make student loan payment on the classes I took, I also continued the friendships I made in Solano 504. I lived with Nikki, Missy, and Sarah. And a few years later, along came Kate. I can honestly say, these girls and these friendship… Read more →

Things are still going well. Aside from a minor pest set back (tomato worms) we are still going strong. Our Sun Gold baby tomatoes are going crazy. Thanks, Erika!! The lemon cucumbers have started to produce as well. We spotted our first squash today. Herbs looking herby. Pepperoncinis looking peppery And the master Gardner. Maybe a little a help from… Read more →

We cleared the bushes out last summer (more on the stump later) and are ATTEMPTING to grow vegetables this summer. We have planted 3 different tomato plants, cucumbers, bell peppers, eggplant, green beans, basil, & mint. The strawberries… Read more →

Father’s Day was a very casual affair this year. I invited my in-laws and parents over for pizza. Everyone brought a side dish and it turned out to be one hell of a dinner! We stuffed ourselves, exchanged cards, kids played and we had a very nice evening. Henry got some clothes, a handmade card, and a funny interview by… Read more →

Last weekend we took Alex to a River Cats game. First off, I want to note that an outing with a 3 year old is SO MUCH easier than having both kids. He really is an easy kid. We dropped the diva off at my folks’ house and got to have a nice lil date with the boy. It was… Read more →

This is a little late, but Mother’s Day is always worth the recognition no matter what. It was a mish mash of a holiday since we threw Chloe’s birthday party the day before. Its a little challenging to throw two parties back to back. But with a few loads of dishes in the dish washer and a well stocked fridge,… Read more →
