Thanks for stopping by my blog! The hats I wear include wife (to a retired Army field artilleryman), mom to three super busy teens, and high school math teacher. In my “free time” I love cooking, reading, creating (mostly papercrafts), photography, travelling, and exploring the PNW with my family…you know, all the usual things!
I hope you’ll find some inspiration, entertainment, and something that makes you smile here. I look forward to hearing from you!

Summer Screentime Checklist
So my kids, while not thrilled, were at least mildly happy to see this Summer Screentime Checklist reappear on the frig this summer. During the school year, we stick to the no screentime on weekdays rule, but in the summer, … Continue reading
Fun and Easy Kid Thank You Notes
One of my favorite things about my kids growing older is that they’ve learned to write…and now they can write their own thank you notes, instead of me doing it! Granted, Princess Thundercloud just finished kindergarten, so her writing skills … Continue reading
