Monkey See, Monkey Do?

Something quite interesting happened over here… I thought I was being a good mommy (already discussed that problem before) and suggested strongly that my daughter need not eat more chocolate chips.  She had requested chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast and I happily obliged.  Then, she walked by the kitchen more times than normal,  grabbing little [...]

My daily find

It’s true… spiders work very hard and very quickly to create their webs.  Yes, it happens overnight, just like Charlotte’s Web.  I walked out this morning and saw this with morning dew dripping from its intricacies.  It was a sight to see.  I see webs often and walk through them often (gross) but this one [...]

One of my favorite games

I had this picture from a while ago and wanted to post it here on my lovely life keep sakes…

Some inner stuff

I went for an eye follow up today, all by myself and it was wonderful.  I arranged and then rearranged some arrangements so I could grace the doctors all by myself. Last appointment, my show with the children was just short of completely humiliating and totally embarrassing.  Actually, it wasn’t short of, it was!  The [...]

Forgiveness: My Burden Was Made Light

Forgiveness: My Burden Was Made Light. Click on that title above (I saw this today and it is incredible).  I sometimes like to find one of those Mormom Messages for the day for inspiration.  There are so many that are just as great as this one…

Another little nugget

I’m not sure that I had an ounce of sports blood in me… until I saw this picture.  ; )  Another little nugget from my history of pictures.

Home Organization

I think organization is one thing that makes me happy!  We found this little beauty at Costco and you would have thought I won the lottery.  It has a place for everything-with labels!  : ) Since we don’t have storage around here, this is now our decor in the laundry room.  I have a place [...]

Farmers Markets

Here is what we get to do every Wednesday- visit the market.  All the local farmers and vendors of all types (bakers, jewelers, but no candlestick maker, butchers, etc.) bring their loot down to the marina park and set up shop for about 4 hours.  On the sidelines, people are swimming and tanning and acting [...]

Unique flag lots

We feel tucked away back here… we are what they call a flag lot.  Here is how it happens…  People have land here in Kirkland.  People want land here in Kirkland.  Land values go up.  People who own land parcel off some of their lot.  People build on that parcel (which is usually behind the [...]
