Well, life has been busy for this family in the past couple of weeks, the busiest part being our move!  We recently moved into a casita in the heart of Playa Grande.  I am really enjoying it, and would love to share some pictures with you, but I have yet to find my camera charger [...]

Sometimes time just seems to wiz by but I’m always thankful for… some beach snuggles, my little monster, a night out with the fam (even if this is what we come home to!  Bad Miggy!), and of course, some puppy love! What a great weekend (even though we are halfway through the week)! And check [...]

Any day that begins with our friend dropping off limes and mangos from his trees is going to be a good day!  We already enjoyed some limeade, and I’m looking forward to some mango salsa tonight! After school Margo and I hit the beach, it was such a perfect (and hot) day. What do you see [...]

You might think that living in a small town, I would get bored or there wouldn’t be much to do with the kids, but when you live in Playa Grande with the awesome Tera and all the people from the Minaet putting on free activities for your kids, there is always something to look forward [...]

The best part of Christmas eve was the last 20 minutes while I put the girls to bed.  The girls took a bath and I put Margo’s hair up in a curler type hair do while she listened to Nana and Papa reading her “Merry Christmas Charlie Brown.”  Those books where you can record your [...]

Margo was waking up from her nap today and she picked out a dress to wear.  She started to put it on, and I (being the awesome mother that I am) reminded her to check for scorpions.  To which Margo responded, “Yes, Mama.  I always check for scorpions.” And I couldn’t help but laugh when [...]

I feel like I blinked and our week with the Turners was over.  We had so much fun showing them different sights, beaches and restaurants!  But mostly I enjoyed talking with them and understanding what is on their hearts.  It really was an amazing time, that ended all too quickly.  Here are some good-bye hugs and [...]

Well today is the day that Grandpa and Grandma are arriving!  Margo is so excited it that we decided it would be a good day to make Christmas cookies with Brittany and River.  And it worked perfectly.  It turned a long day of waiting into a fun day eating sugar cookies!  When we arrived there [...]

Well, its hard to believe that there are only two days left to my Mom’s visit!  A week just isn’t long enough… but here are some of the things that we have been doing! We watched the sunset on her first night here! We explored the back roads and even had to turn the car [...]

It is the month of birthdays.  And I am the Aunt of late birthday presents.  Sweet Alaina had her first birthday on August ninth, and I am still ferociously knitting away, every spare moment I have.  (Don’t worry I will post a picture when I’m done!) And as for little Christian’s 3rd birthday on the 12th of August, my [...]
