My Blog about stuff – family, sports, travel, and cooking.
My blog is almost like my journal. I keep track of my kids’ various activities, from Taekwondo to Soccer to Band. I also spend time writing about our various travels, whether to family or one of the many soccer events we attend. You might also find a good recipe, or two!

Local Woman Missing was my second book to read this year, and I absolutely loved it. This was a book I saw recommended in the Psychological Thrillers Facebook group, and I’m so glad they did. It’s written by Mary Kubica, an author I’ll be sure to follow. A woman goes missing. Then…

Hey there, friends, family, and fellow soccer fans! I’m beyond excited to share some big news about my son, Devin Ulmer, and his incredible journey as a young athlete. This summer, Devin has been given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to travel to Madrid, Spain, for Futbico—a renowned soccer program…
I absolutely love the rice bowls from Qdoba. I could probably eat them every day. And with a Mexican Coke, it’s the perfect meal. But eating out is obviously costly. So I’ve decided to make a Taco Rice Bowl at home. What’s cool about this meal is that you can totally make it your…
I have made this meal more than I can count. The kids love it, and it’s a perfect weekday meal, especially when we’re on the go. Now, keep in mind that when I make this, I triple the ingredient list below. I have 3 boys who are all in soccer and extremely active. I need…
This is another great meal I found on Facebook. It’s quick and easy and can be made in the crockpot in just a few hours…
