Weekend Recap: But…
I managed to get a lot of things done this weekend, but failed to snap any pictures of it. Bad blogger. I did the dreaded task of taking off the car seat covers and completely cleaning out every nook and cranny, but I have yet to put the covers back on. Why do they make those things so hard? This is our last full week of Summer, but I’m only working two days this week. Hello “vacation” time! I made the S’mores recipe I posted about here, but switched out the chocolate chips for M&M’s. I guess my husband liked them because they’re almost gone. Although I got a lot checked…

The perfect twist on a classic…

Life Lately
Thanks to the hubs, my mac is finally updated with the newest OS, I have lots more free space, and I still have all two million pictures of my kids so I’m a happy gal. If photo dumps are your thing, then you came to the right place. Our favorite Mexican place has a great outdoor patio on a lake and the kids love feeding the fish and ducks tortilla chips sans salsa of course. Mowing obsession. Again, the blade was up-no worries. Awesome is right. And pretty darn cute. I was out of town a few days last week for work. After the conference one night I headed to…
