I’m so excited! I have a project to work on and it is due May 1st, 2019. I have been invited to participate in a quilt block exchange. It all started when I took one look at this quilt and begged the owner to help us do something like this here, and she agreed!!! Her… Read More Costa Rica Quilt Exchange
So it’s Wednesday night, and that means only one thing. . . Mommy and Curly Cook time! Each Wednesday, Paul, GingerSnap and Joy Boy have activities/meetings to attend, so Curly Cook and I make the night special. First we read a book together and then we do something fun. The book we are reading right… Read More What We Do Every Wednesday Night!
I found this quote online . . . After reading it, I immediately had a rush of gratitude for my blog. This quote confirmed to me that restarting my blog was a wise decision, and I was grateful that I had acted on the prompting to start it up again. Then, while searching for my… Read More Why don’t you blog anymore?
Today was a tough day for me. It was actually a tough week last week, and I don’t want it creeping into this week. Thankfully I have had a little help from my friends and family. I got a good morning text from my dear friend. I saw it right when I needed it most!… Read More Tough Day Made Better . . .

Curly Cook only wanted one thing this week! And that was a playdate with her best friend. This little one starts school again on Monday, so we needed to sneak in an afternoon of fun while we could.

This is Jorge! He’s our swimming teacher. He comes to our home, every Thursday, to give us our swimming lesson. He kicks our fannies, but we love him for it! He’s a really great teacher! Thanks Jorge! Happy Thursday,
Paul was spontaneous this month and planned a “field trip” for us and our friends, Fran and Sarah. We left on a Friday afternoon and stopped half-way in La Fortuna for the night. We had a yummy dinner, with gelato for dessert, then stayed overnight in one of the many hotels that Paul’s new company… Read More Cocoa and Cows . . .
I love it when my kids react differently to the same experience. It helps me remember that we are all very unique and different people, even in a family. Curly Cook found a “gross and icky bug” 🐛 on Joy Boy’s rusty, hand-me-down bike. Joy Boy thought the bug was SUPER cool and even knew… Read More Bugs
