There’s something so rad about our summer weather. Sure, it’s hotter than blazes, but it’s amazing how out of a clear blue sky can come a crazy dust storm, a radiant monsoon, or a ton of over-sized raindrops. Then, just as quickly as the storm comes, it leaves. We got another fun storm last weekend. […]
The Grand-Daughter Hat: Nana’s Visit
My Nana came to visit last weekend. She brought Aunt Pam and Grandpa along with her. What a treat! We ate tons of food, gathered around the table as a big family (like we used to), shopped and spent every minute we could watching Nana and Kelsey get better acquainted. And, if I didn’t know […]
The Mommy Hat: Spoonful of Yogurt
Sometimes you just gotta end your week with a spoonful of yogurt. Daddy, baby and I took another venture out for yogurt tonight. Daddy snapped this photo just as we were about to dig in! A sweet for my sweet. What a great way to end a week.

The Homeowner Hat: Amen!
Perseverance, patience and yes – a little perspiration – pays off. After ten days without cool air, we finally have our air conditioning fixed! My husband gets a gold star for spending his weekend cleaning coils in 110-degree heat. My dad, daughter and dog receive the award for the “best assistants” Ryan could ask for.
The Foreshadowing Hat: I just know it
Kelsey is going to be the type of girl who doesn’t take “No” for an answer. She will make her own rules. Answer to herself. Lead her own way. She’s going to take chances. She will win. She will fail. Most of all, she will always try her hardest. She’s going to make her future girlfriends laugh. […]
The Inspirational Hat: Motivational Monday
No, seriously take one and keep it in your pocket. Pull it out when Monday gets the best of ya.
The Family Hat: Weekends at Starbucks
Kelsey, Nanni and I like to spend Saturday mornings at Starbucks. As we make our way to the back of the coffee-house, we always seem to find the same set of brown chairs to sit at. Nanni and I plan out our weekend while Kelsey plays with one of the chairs. It isn’t too long before Nanni scoops up Kelsey bug into her […]
The Milestone Hat: She said it!!!!
After 9 months of dating, Ryan told me he loved me. 9 months! I thought that was forever. But, Kelsey beat him. On July 7, 2011 – two days shy of turning 17 months old, Kelsey said “i love you” for the first time. We were driving home from school, and just like any other […]
