Every year I leave the holiday season thinking that there was more we could have done as a family to really embrace the true meaning of the season. And yet, I can never quite put my finger on what that should be other than I feel like we should spend a little less time thinkingContinue reading “Is that a Lama??”

Candy Crush Anyone?
It’s time for me to get serious about having a clean house…We had a sweet gas fireplace insert put in this last week and I HATE it when I’m embarrassed by the state of affairs around here. I mean it’s picked up generally speaking but then the guys wanted to use the garage. The GARAGEContinue reading “Candy Crush Anyone?”
"Really???"
Fall is in the air and while the colors are beautiful the change in season presents one challenge here at the Morgans: This tree is ENORMOUS! And while it is beautiful this is what happens to our yard: So for the next few weeks it will be an endless battle to try to stay onContinue reading “"Really???"”
I'm living in THIS?
We just got done with a fabulous visit from Dave’s parents and brother this past weekend. I tell everyone I meet that I have the world’s best in-laws–it’s the truth. But what is it about having company that makes you look around your house and ask, “I’ve been living in THIS?” I mean, I guessContinue reading “I'm living in THIS?”
The Calm Before the Storm
As I sit here at the computer I was struck by how peaceful I actually feel for a minute. The house is quiet with only two of the six here, dinner is cooking on the stove, the house is clean (alright–my bed isn’t made and there are a few clothes on the tub but it’sContinue reading “The Calm Before the Storm”
Dare I say: progress?
The back to school craziness is in full swing here at the Morgans. Here’s the calendar I spent 2 hours figuring out the other night: I was pretty proud of myself for putting that together–I’m just hoping I still have the gumption to do it when October comes around…I cannot tell you the number ofContinue reading “Dare I say: progress?”
My Disneyland Epiphany
I know that I devised this blog originally as a place to vent my frustration and hold myself accountable for some changes for myself and my children. And for those of you who have been following along since the beginning of this little journey (and seriously, if you’ve managed to stay with me, props toContinue reading “My Disneyland Epiphany”
"Wipe Out Winco Style" and other morning adventures.
It’s been a pretty crazy week at our house as Wednesday we sent Carter off on his mission. It’s a strange feeling leading up to sending a missionary off–or a college student I suppose. You feel like the clock is ticking down and you should be making the most of your time left but youContinue reading “"Wipe Out Winco Style" and other morning adventures.”
Criminal Minds–Morgan style
I hate moles. Almost as much as I hate hot dogs which is saying quite a lot. Without fail every spring/summer some nefarious mole decides that the Morgan lawn offers up some tasty treats and he reeks havoc on our lawn. It pretty much makes me crazy. We did a bunch of research onContinue reading “Criminal Minds–Morgan style”
Are we handing out dollar bills like candy now?
I fear that I may have gotten sidetracked in my journey to get a clean house. I blame pinterest of course. As you may recall I think it’s inspired by the devil and I fell into his trap this last week. Dave was away at scout camp and so I embarked on the quest toContinue reading “Are we handing out dollar bills like candy now?”
