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!
I started writing funny or cute incidences for Devin when he was very young. However, in the midst of my terribly busy life, I failed to do the same for Braden. I didn’t start back on these logs until he was over 2. I feel terrible for that but I hope he understands. Plus, I…
When Devin was first born (all the way back in 2008!), I had started a little log of some of the funny and cute things he did. As new parents, we thought everything was special and adorable. Well, after reading some of those old musings, I thought it was worth jotting down here. He’s grown…
I want to explain how proud I am of my three boys: Devin, Braden and Austin. Let’s start with Devin. Devin is going to be 13 in April. And he’s managed to do a lot in his 12 years. First of all, he’s turned into an amazing soccer player. And what’s special is that he…

I need to give a shout out to the True Potential Football Club. Not only did they have an undefeated season, but they had an undefeated year. Since 2020 hasn’t been great to everyone, it’s time to celebrate something; and this is worth celebrating. Spring 2020 It was rocky. It started off strong but…
2020 has been a difficult year to say the least. We’re lucky to not be directly affected by covid, but this year still had it’s challenges. But instead of dwelling on the negative, let’s think about the positive. And in light of Thanksgiving being right around the corner, here’s what I’m thankful…
I know, I know. It’s early. Thanksgiving is next week and our Christmas lights are already up. But hear me out. The weather around here can get nasty after Thanksgiving. So we’ve learned over the years that it’s best to do it while the weather is good. Or risk doing all this work for just…
What a year this has been. We ended 2019 thankful that it was over and looking forward to a new and better year. That did not happen. The COVID or China virus started early in the year. Though we tried to curtail it with flight cancellations to China, it still spread. Then enter US lockdowns…
