So I came across the funniest quote that totally made me think of my something my daughter Ashley does (thus her avatar on today’s post). The quote goes like this: When your home alone and someone knocks on your door: 10% say “who is it?” 64% look through the peep hole. 25% open [...]

As all of you who follow my blog know, today my daughter had surgery to repair her ACL. We had to wake up at 4:30am to be to surgery by 6am. And unfortunately we were up until 1:30am the night before hanging out with my husband’s parents who had been staying with us. Side note, [...]
Tonight was an incredibly rough night at our house. My daughter Ashley, who plays on her high school varsity basketball team, found out that she has a torn ACL and she is going to have to now undergo surgery to repair it, followed by six to nine months of rehabilitation to bring her knee back [...]
I am guessing that many of you who saw my daughter Ashley’s avatar got really excited thinking this blog was written by her – but this time it wasn’t written by her, however, it is about her so I thought it would be fitting to use her avatar to go with this story: Tonight I was sitting down to [...]

It reminds me that when life gets tough, you just gotta have fun with it. Honestly, you can’t choose what happens to you. Life is thrown at you in ways unimaginable, but like they always say, “When life gives you [...]
First let me say that I had a great weekend and I hope that all of you did as well. The sun was shining and the fires seem to be a little better (at least I hope) and my daughter came home from a week in Idaho she spent at her friend’s cabin. My husband [...]
