Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
I've written a couple of posts about finding motivation for my teenager. I'll update on that particular task shortly, but in the course of writing most recently about finding my focus again, I mentioned to classic To Do list. The page pictured above is from the notebook that I started using when Eve & I... Continue Reading →
Some time ago as joke I created a Facebook location for our house and called it Casa Crazy. I did it because I'd had dinner with some friends who had all commented on how LAME Facebook check ins are, especially when people are checking in from home and calling their home some cutesy name.

Catchy title eh? Ads a lovely delusion of grandeur to the much more boring reality that I basically stayed put and did chores 😉 OK, not entirely true. I did run out to Starbucks to grab breakfast. My cereal box for the week was empty and I didn't want to make eggs and I have... Continue Reading →

I am sorry, but you are going to be sorely tested over the next few months. Be strong! (Actually, he did pretty well and I did too! This was taken as we pulled onto our street on the way home from a workout in the park. He drove there and back and I only had... Continue Reading →
Watch out! He's on the loose! Ok, not on the loose so much just YET since we need to setup his 1st behind the wheel training and also contact in$urance - BUT - he passed the written test (just missed 3). Actually, he had a harder time with this photo. That took FOUR attempts. And... Continue Reading →
