(I am an Invisalign MAB member and my son is receiving complimentary treatment but all opinions completely my own!) It’s graduation time! I have a stack of graduation announcements and invites from friends on my desk just waiting for me to send a card of congratulations. And then I have my own graduate that we…
Last Sunday I got a rare treat. ALL 9 of my children came for dinner. It’s almost become a unicorn of a dream…..that we would all be in the same place at the same time. Hasn’t happened in nearly 3 years. I heard about the plan a couple of days before it happened. They considered surprising…
This post contains affiliate links. As you’re reading this I have been driving for a whole day and have a whole day left to go. Unless you read it later, in which case my behind is still sore from sitting in the car for 18 hours. You could be reading this in 2018 and I…
It’s time for another of my exciting “Mom and Me” Disney trips. Next weekend my almost 16 year old son and I will be on our way to Orlando for some one-on-one time. We have been planning and prepping for a couple of months and now it’s almost time to go! On Sunday we went to…
With April 18 (this year’s tax deadline) just around the corner, this CPA’s wife is ready to have her hubby back. This year has been rough between his stressful work of taking care of his clients (our love for them keeps us going through the long hours) and our air-conditioning going out. Seriously, something big happens…
The bug has hit me. You know the one….spring cleaning, or call it post-wedding-cleanup, or possibly “I can’t take this messy house anymore!” syndrome. Whatever you call it, it hit me hard last week. It was great timing too because all of my older kids were gone to the Christian Worldview Film Festival Thursday-Saturday, so…
I’m back from a week of “Mom & Me” time at Disney World. Last week I took my 14 year old son to Florida and we had a grand time, just the two of us. I know it sounds crazy to be doing these trips with each child who is still living at home, but…
This week I am on a road trip with my 14 year old son. We have been looking forward to it for months….just the two of us. He has planned most of the activities and I will be following along, letting him lead. Moms, its super important to led your sons lead you whenever possible. …
I’d like to tell you how much I got done this weekend. Cleaning, putting away the last of the wedding stuff, maybe organize a few drawers….but no. That’s pretty much the opposite of what I did. It started Friday with my birthday, then another birthday on Saturday, and ended with me sitting in my chair Sunday afternoon staring at…
It’s time to catch you up on our Invisalign journey. If you remember, I have 2 boys in treatment and that means keeping up with aligners and getting to the ortho every 10 weeks.
