Normally when we make a trip to the zoo we head to St. Louis. It’s the zoo I always went to growing up, it’s big without being too big, and it’s free. During our last visit, the zoo was under a lot of construction which really limited what animals we got to see. A few weekends ago we had the most perfect weather so the kids and I decided to try out the Kansas City Zoo. The KC Zoo was recently remodeled and had a lot of new exhibits including Polar Bears. This zoo is HUGE and there is a lot of walking. You can tell the zoo was built…

Random Thoughts on a Thursday
This happens to me at least once a week at work. Depending on which co-worker it is, I’ll let them know it wasn’t me. We’re close like that 🙂 I’m in a recipe rut and have made tacos, spaghetti, and sandwiches for dinner the past 2 weeks. I’ve pinned a lot of recipes, but I’m completely unmotivated to make them, especially after a full day of work. If you have easy crockpot recipes send them my way and help a girl out! Lisa posted 5 ways to Dress-up Your Christmas Cards and I wan’t to try every one of them! How cute are these new stamps from the USPS? Anyone else have…

Here’s what went down… Picture me in first grade, missing my bottom tooth, wearing awesome spandex shorts, and white Keds. It was recess and all of first grade was outside playing when I spotted a caterpillar about to get squished by some wild boys running around. Being the kind little kid I was, I picked it up, held it for a few minutes (no doubt admiring it’s furriness) and sat it in the grass…or so I thought. Well I guess the bug didn’t want to leave so instead of going in the grass,…

Random Tuesday Thoughts
It’s only Tuesday and I’ve already got a random list of things I need to share. We like to order pizza from local places, but every once in awhile we get good ole Pizza Hut because there’s one close to our house and it has a drive thru. The last couple of times we’ve ordered from them our pizza has looked like this. Is it too much to ask that every slice has cheese on it? I have a serious problem with hoarding cups at work. I forget to take them home with me at the end of each day and then this happens. Some bloggers have really been getting…

Another Year Older
Is it tacky to post about your own birthday on your own blog? Eh, I don’t care 🙂 I don’t have any big plans for the day but maybe I can get out of having to clean up the kitchen tonight. This last year was filled with so many great memories and I can’t wait to see what this next year has in store. source source source source
