Happy Memorial Day! May we always remember and never forget that freedom isn’t free! Autumn and her Mommy are making the best of our Memorial Day weekend… we both have double ear infections! Ugh!! 🙁 Mine came with a fever! Hopefully the antibiotics will kick in soon for the both of us! I cannot remember… >> View Post

Strawberry Lemon Muffins
Every year that we go strawberry picking, I want to try a brand new recipe… if you are on Facebook, you probably saw my status update where I asked for recipes. I decided to try the Strawberry Lemon Muffin recipe that someone posted from Allrecipes.com. Oh my goodness, DELICIOUS! I made a second batch today… >> View Post
I finished a 5k race today, and I sure am proud of myself!
In January, I took on Laura’s challenge to run 500 miles in 2010, and I never knew it would lead me down the path to running a 5k race, but it did! I was SO nervous last night that I could hardly sleep, and also I have had a cold the last few days so… >> View Post
5k Race Tomorrow!!
My first 5k race is tomorrow at the zoo, and I am getting a little nervous. I have heard it sold out or came close to selling out so there is going to be a lot of people there! I hope I can handle the hills and I hope it isn’t too hot at 8:00… >> View Post
Quickie Zoo Visit to get 5k Stuff!
I woke up this morning to the sound of rain and I was so bummed because (1) Nathan’s last day of school involved a parent day and so it would be inside and (2) I needed to go to the zoo with kids in tow to pick up my 5k stuff and I didn’t want… >> View Post

First time to Six Flags since we’ve had kids…
Six Flags used to be my favorite place to visit in high school after I had gotten my license. I had a season pass and rode all of the rides several times each season. I told Jeremi on our drive out there today that we had not been to Six Flags since before I had… >> View Post
Our 2nd Annual Strawberry Picking at Eckerts
We picked Nathan up from school today and he was so excited because we told him we were going to go strawberry picking at Eckerts in Belleville, Illinois. Nathan loves his new Spongebob sunglasses! When we first got there, we had lunch at the restaurant… I had hoped that Autumn would take a nap on… >> View Post
Auttie and Mommy time at the park!
I love taking the kids to the park, but it is so hard to keep tabs on two mobile kids now… especially when one of them could hurt herself really well because she doesn’t know her limitations yet. After I dropped Nathan off at school with his special birthday treats, Jeremi went to go clean… >> View Post
Nathan’s Birthday Treat
I am starting to feel like Mel, I have had a lot of birthday posts lately! Well, remember how I did the worm in dirt cupcakes? I did a spin on it for Nathan’s birthday treat at school today. I decided to make individual dirt cakes for each student in his class, topped with a… >> View Post
Rainbow Recreation Showroom
Since it was a drizzly cool day, I had backup plans for Nathan’s birthday… the Rainbow Recreation Showroom! My friend Nicki went to a birthday party here, and she was the one that told me that they open their showroom during the week from 10-3pm and the kids can play on all of the play-sets…. >> View Post
Happy Birthday, Nathan!
Today was Nathan’s birthday, and we had originally planned on going to Six Flags, but the weather was cold and dreary so we are going to go later in the week. Here is my baby asleep, before turning 4… I am having a hard time acknowledging that Nathan is indeed 4 already, every year is… >> View Post
