The Fast and the Furious, 2 Fast 2 Furious, Tokyo Drift, Fast and Furious, Fast Five… If you are a fan of the movies- you know that one of these things is not like the others, which one??? (Hint- Japan) What do you need to tie them all together? Furious 6, another sequel which , surprisingly, was enjoyed by everyone in the audience. Including me. When The Fast and The Furious came out 12 (Yes, TWELVE) years ago, I remember going to see it in a drive in theater. Warning- this is not a good … [Read more...]

Something has been bothering me for quite some time; I was looking through pictures of my kids’ for the last few years, but something was missing, actually a lot of stuff was missing! When I look at our pictures they are very few and far between, in fact, most of the things that we have done in the last couple of years weren’t anywhere to be found in our pictures… do you know why? Because when we get ready to go somewhere fun we always think, “should we take the camera?” and the answer … [Read more...]

Tonight we went to a media night at Elitch Gardens in Denver, we had been to Elitch's before but this was the first time this season. We were laughing because the evening was pretty much like every kids dream! Fun rides, not too many people, good food, cotton candy, ice cream, and soda. The people there were wonderful and it was really the most fun we have ever had at an amusement park. Here are the things we did: We went on the Ferris Wheel and the new ride The Blazin’ Buckaroo.

  If you’ve been reading here for the past couple of weeks, then you have seen me redecorating my boys’ room. I have been using Disney Glidden paint from Walmart to get the look that my boys’ wanted. As I said in my previous posts, I let each of my sons choose 1 color, so that we would have 2 walls that were Moose’s color and 2 walls that were Tater’s color; those colors ended up being “Mickey’s Park” which was a bright green and “Definitely Donald” which is a … [Read more...]

What I should have taught my daughter about money management

May 17, 2013 Leave a Comment By Sarah

I have a daughter that came to me when I was the “ripe old age” of 20 and she was at the… interesting (to put it gently) age of 15. She was my niece before she was my daughter, so I had known her for her whole life and I had been taking care of her from afar for quite some time, but this was different, she was living with me. It was my first apartment and I had been there learning to pay bills and take care of myself when suddenly I was a mother. We were learning lessons together, at the … [Read more...]

Top 5 dog videos to make you smile

Balloons vs. dog, guess who wins? I've heard of people sleep walking, but this is new to me- I think my dog might need some more training... she never cleans the toilet good enough. This one made me laugh out loud, you can tell he's guilty but how could you ever be mad at a face like that? … [Read more...]

It’s finally here, Barbeque season! I love cooking outside on a warm spring evening… when I say I love cooking outside on a warm spring evening, you should know that I actually mean that I love watching Jason cook. I have never, in my life, barbequed anything! So silly, but I just don’t even know how. I do LOVE a good barbeque though and as everyone knows, you can’t have a great barbeque without Frito-Lay and Pepsi (and for me, Kroger). This weekend we had a fantastic family get … [Read more...]

You know how sometimes in life you just need someone? You just need someone to brighten your day, to remind you that good things can happen to you. I have been having a rough time recently (more on that later) but today I got a visit from the Fairy Hobmother and it definitely brought some sunshine into my day. Who is the Fairy Hobmother? Much to my surprise my fairy hobmother is a guy… but that’s cool. His name is Matt and he visits bloggers to offer them a surprise just for posting about … [Read more...]

The Great Gatsby- A remake of a classic?

Walking into this movie had me confused. I saw the trailers, read the synopsis and still was not exactly sure what this was about. I knew that it had Leo and Toby, beyond that I had no clue what else to expect. I have seen the 1974 version a long, long time ago and so that is what I had it to compare to. The music was updated, the cars were more animated and the overall scenery and costumes were certainly Oscar worthy. Past that- the story is the same. Don’t get me wrong, Leo and Toby both … [Read more...]

If you have been reading here for a while, or if you know me in real life, you may have seen or heard me talk about Krimson Klover before. A while back they sent me the most amazing knit jacket that I have ever worn in my whole entire life, no exaggeration. It is soft and warm and gorgeous! It feels makes me feel glamorous just to put it on, in fact sometimes when I am going to the grocery store and I don’t want to put on a nice shirt, I just throw my Krimson Klover knit jacket on over my … [Read more...]
