Our annual trip to Yosemite Valley started out with me stressed from work.  I was overwhelmed at work, and had to bring work with me on the long weekend trip, so I was not feeling the fun, rest and relaxation that I had hoped I would feel. The weather was beautiful and I did eventually… [Continue Reading]

New animal Quest: Bats in a cave

I have decided on a new animal quest for this year, since I achieved my last quest.  My new quest is to see bats in their cave.  I have seen wild bats flying around in the evening before, but I have not been to a cave where bats congregate.  I have seen one bat in… [Continue Reading]

Animal Quest: Birds of Prey

I love animals and I really love getting to see animals that you don’t get to see every day.  I was inspired by some pictures that I saw last summer, and made a goal to find and get pictures of a nesting bird of prey.  Mind you, I never said that they had to be… [Continue Reading]

Update on spelling bee

I mentioned in my last post that my daughter would have to go to the county spelling bee during spring break.  She successfully bailed on that.  The other contestant from her school wasn’t able to go, and my daughter’s teacher asked if she was going, and my daughter said that she didn’t want to.  The… [Continue Reading]

Amazed at my shopping skills

This Christmas I had vowed that I would not buy presents for anyone except my children.  My husband has been without a job since last February, so money is tight and we have to pick and choose what we are going to spend money on.  Christmas presents for every relative was not a priority for… [Continue Reading]

Cake Pops

I have seen these cake pops around the internet, and they look so cute.  I thought that it would be fun to have a holiday party and decorate cake pops.  Instead of a cookie party, we would do cake pops.  After making them, I’m not sure that I want to have a party around them. … [Continue Reading]

Photo Cards=Good, vs Bad Christmas Letter Contest

Have you sent out your holiday cards yet?  I haven’t.  In fact I was debating whether I would send any out at all.  I would like to, but life is so busy, and money is tight.  I am still considering it, and was perusing Shutterfly’s Christmas photo card templates.  It still isn’t too late.  I… [Continue Reading]
