  • Fruit Pizza

    If there’s one thing I like, it’s fruit. And cookies. And food really…. But… Putting fruit on a sugar cookie with a “sauce” layer… and calling it a pizza? I’m down for that! Seriously! When my mom was pregnant with me, I guess she ate a quart of strawberries and a tub of cool whip…

  • Conversations

    Sunday when I got home from the ride, I was scrolling through Facebook, mindlessly. Hubby’s cousin had this posted on her wall and it showed up in my feed: I thought I’d be funny and asked hubby this question/statement. His answer…. Steak. I kind of looked at him like he was crazy and said, Steak?…

  • Trails for Kids 2016

    {WARNING: Picture Overload… again…} So what we were up to this last weekend? Well it involved friends, camping, and horses. What more could you ask for? Hubby took Thursday off and he and Jared worked on moving horses, trailers, stuff down to Underwood’s Crag O’Lea in Pineville, MO, for the weekends adventures. I met Karen…

  • Little Cricket Bars

    Isn’t she beautiful? This was Little Cricket Bars, or her barn name was Cricket or Ma. She is a 1984 model. If there’s one thing I can teach you about horses, their age changes on January 1st. That would make her 32. 32 is old in horse years. A friend of our family gave her…

  • Results

    I feel the crunch of the end of school coming. Not just the end of the semester, but the end of school. If all goes well I should graduate May 7th. That’s the thing though… right now I feel like a retard. Literature isn’t my strong suit. It never has been. I only grew fond…

  • Easter 2016 Recap

    I have always wanted to be that mom that decorates the house up for every holiday, etc etc. I fall short most days. I’m not sure there is time for that when you’re in grad school! I was lucky to remember that it was Easter weekend. Friday I studied for round 2 of comps and…

  • Tuesday Brain Splat

    My brain is all over the place. One such place… relief. At least last night’s comps is over and it’ll be a week before I hear results on either set, so that means a week of freedom, right? Please tell me I’m right. The stress the last few weeks kind of got to me. Ugh!…

  • Today

    I woke up this morning tired, stiff, and dreading the morning. Why? Maybe because it is Monday, or maybe because I’m just not a morning person, or maybe, just maybe it was because I have to take my second set of Comps tonight. This is Set 2 attempt 1. And then D) it could be…

  • Finally, the story

    Let’s see if I can diplomatically tell this post, finally about a month later. As most of you know, we’re a family of 4. Back in 2011 though, we were just a family of 3. In January of 2011 we traded my Mustang off for a 2011 Hyundai Elantra and Hubby’s 3/4 Ford for a…
