I don’t get to post as much as I’d like these days. I guess I am just too busy working and living to document it all on here. And we have been busy. We have been: 1. Working: I am working full-time and even the hubby is pulling quite a bit of hours. But with [...]

So Trey has started playing video games. Playing might be stretching it as he hasn’t finish a single level of anything but he loves to play LEGO Star Wars on the PS3. Yesterday he was on the boob tube for about two hours and I was desperate to get him doing something else. The good [...]

I tried my hand at candle making for the first time. I made my own wicks using instructions for L. And while it worked out OK I had a hell of a time getting them to burn. I spent the whole evening (on and off) getting them burned down to the point that I could [...]
