Happy Independence Day
to everyone in the States!

We’re having Bacon Cheddar Burgers, Watergate Salad, Broccoli Salad, Macaroni Salad, probably some chicken and/or shrimp thrown on the grill as well.

We’ve often gone down to sit at the intersection across from our high school to see the local fireworks display, but we realized last year we can see three separate displays from our house. Escondido and Poway from our back patio and the local one from our driveway.

Hope you all enjoy a great
3-day weekend with lots of fun, food, and friendship.

What A Day!

ByKristen Koster

Seventeen years ago today, my husband and I tied the knot on an overcast morning beside the Chester River in Chestertown, Maryland where we went to college. This was one week before he graduated, four months before his 21st birthday. We had a surprisingly large turnout of all our friends and family considering it wasn’t…

It’s a crazy time at our house. We just spent the weekend camping with the Cub Scouts. We had mosquitoes galore, a missing piece of our grill (no fire! ok, we borrowed a stove from someone else), and a loud noisy pack across the road from us that decided to use their bullhorn and ring…

Just For Andi…

  When is one-third, not one-third? Say you have a math homework problem and you’re eleven years old and you HATE fractions with a burning passion. You ask your mom across the room, “What does ONE DIVIDED BY THREE equal?” You get extremely upset with her when she offhandedly (and quite innocently) replies ONE-THIRD. You…

Happy B-day to Me!

No big plans today, no big post like last year. I haven’t even decided where we’re going out for dinner tonight. In the last year, I haven’t noticed “life began at 40”, but hey, it’s still early, right? Two best gifts so far? An actual plan to make DS feel better and DD comes home from…

Balancing Act

Time-Management, Procastination and Perfectionism. Ok, I’m trying not to whine or moan here, but galatic forces have been pushing me to think about how these are related. Yes, Bria and Andi can now consider themselves part of the galatic forces. I don’t know if there’s a uniform or even a t-shirt, sorry. The Acountability Corner…

Happy Valentine’s Day! It’s time once again for hearts, chocolates, diamonds (no dear, that’s not a hint) and of course free reads from the Romance Divas, who have just wrapped up their third annual e-book challenge where the members are encouraged to write a story and put it up for free.

  1. My kid is off with friends and Rott’s still away, so it’s just me and the cats. Maybe a hamburger and some garlic mashed potatoes for dinner later. I know the cats will love whatever I don’t eat! Those kittens are voracious! Now, if I could just find homes for the two whose potential parents backed out. Grrr. Have a great 4th Kaige!

  2. sigh, we had burgers too. Burnt burgers, which are what my kids are good at. And burnt hot dogs, and redi-bacon, because I wanted bacon, but I was too lazy to bother with frying some up.

    And AMP, because it’s a holiday. I might have another.

    Have a wonderful fourth, Kaige
