September 23, 2010Baby Journal0
Today we had another ultrasound and found out we’re having a GIRL! When the u/s tech told us, I cried! I would have cried either way. I was so excited! I made sure to ask her how sure she was. She told us that she can’t tell anyone 100%, but would say with 95% certainty...

a gift for a friend

September 22, 2010Crafts0
I made a pair of earrings for a friend at work. I show her all the stuff I make myself and since it was her birthday, I decided to make her a pair. She wanted blues, blacks, and silver. She also wears a lot of pearls, so I was pretty excited with the way these...

officially a disaster

We finished cleaning out the rest of the big items in my office. All that was really left was my big Ikea bookshelf. We had to empty the shelf to move it. So this is where all my books are right now: This is where the bookshelf ended up (and please excuse the mess since...

We were sitting on the couch watching a movie and I could tell the baby was moving a lot. So while we were sitting there I just had Chuck leave his hand on my belly to see if he could feel anything. A couple minutes later he pauses the movie and says “I just felt...

We went up north for my cousin Matt’s wedding. It was fun to see people, but both Chuck and I were really tired and only made it to 10:00…which was later than I thought we would be out. We had a nice time seeing so many family members and seeing how excited people are for...

the girl with the dragon tattoo

September 18, 2010Books0
I figured I should read this book since everyone had been talking about it. I don't normally get into books that people talk about, but since it wasn't a preteen book that everyone loved, I figured I would give it a go. I found it at Target for $5.99. I like books for $6! It...

I bought a few of these dresses in a couple colors shortly after I found out I was pregnant. It was still warm outside and I knew I was going to get bigger. I am so glad I did. They are so comfortable and so versatile. I can make them casual or dressed up. I...

Last night we moved a bunch of stuff out of my office. This is the room that will belong to Baby Hays in a few short months. I only took two pictures of my office since we moved in last May and those were taken before I hung pictures on the walls. This weekend we...

Since it was raining this morning and I was tired of standing on the bus, I decided to try out my new plan of getting up, showering, getting on the bus right by my house and going to the gym downtown before work for my walk. It worked out pretty well. I forgot how long...

One day last weekend I was so tired. I think it was Sunday. So after lunch I told Chuck I was going to nap for a few minutes and to wake me up in a little while. As soon as I fell asleep, my wonderful hubby takes some pictures of me! 🙂 I especially love...

I was in bed last night watching tv and the baby was kicking like crazy. I took Chuck’s hand to try to get him to feel it, but it’s still just kicks I can feel. I was really hoping that he would be able to feel them. I know he’s a patient person, but I...

good grief

September 14, 2010Books0
I picked this book up from the clearance rack at a bookstore. I'm not sure what made it stand out…maybe I liked the cover or something. Either way, I think it was only $4 or something. I was sure it was going to be horrible since it was on the clearance rack. I was wrong....

talent is overrated

September 12, 2010Books0
This was a really interesting book. Chuck had read it and told me I should read it. I have always had fears about trying new things and thinking that I wasn't good at them. This book really emphasized that you can do anything…it just takes a long time and hard work to become excellent at...

weeknight lasagna toss

September 11, 2010Food0
I found this recipe, or maybe it found me…I can't remember. But I was excited that the only thing I didn't have on hand for it was a green pepper. So when I went to the store I picked one up and I am SO glad that I did. This was a really simple meal....

a walk in the woods

September 11, 2010Books0
This was a very interesting book. I hadn't read anything by Bill Bryson until this book. Bryson write about his travels. He has a very consistent writing style thrown in with some humor. There's also a lot of history mixed in….at least in this book. This was all about his journey on the Appalachian Trail....

Today marked one year since my dear dad passed awa Today marked one year since my dear dad passed away. 💔 

I woke up early and saw the sun rise, then made the kids breakfast and went into work for a while. I knew if I sat around all day, I’d be sad…and my dad wouldn’t want that. 

When I got home, the kids and I sprinkled some of his ashes under the trees we planted in his memory. Then we hopped on the kayaks and sprinkled some by the buoy straight out from our house. Dannie and I listened to some voicemails he left me. It was so good to hear his voice. I listen to them sometimes just to hear him say “Hey Mo!”. 🥰 

I worked on a puzzle for a few minutes (because that’s how I spent a lot of my time when he was sick and after he died) before taking Dannie to hockey. On the way home from her game, my alarm went off for the time he died. So I had a good cry listening to “Miss You All The Time” by OAR (which is my alarm ringtone). Chuck made me a delicious dinner and then I put the kids to bed. Before bed, I curled up on the couch and watched a show with Chuck. 

I spent time thinking of him today and also doing everyday things. Because that is what living with grief and missing someone is. There are moments to stop and remember and honor them, but also mostly doing everyday things.

I love you, dad and I miss you tons. I can’t believe you’ve been gone a whole year. I wish you were here to talk to about and enjoy all these everyday things with us. 😘
Dannie’s @furyaaa_hockey team took 2nd place in Dannie’s @furyaaa_hockey team took 2nd place in a tournament last weekend. This was the longest game I’ve ever been to. 3 15 minute periods, ice between 2nd and 3rd, then three over times which was about 30 seconds from being a shootout before the other team scored. It was so fun to watch these girls play their hearts out! ❤️🏒

Our summer training program (STP) for hockey ended Our summer training program (STP) for hockey ended last week. This was my car every Friday for both girls to skate then Dannie’s goalie practice. It takes up our mornings for a big chunk of summer. With all three kids playing, we were at the rink 5 mornings a week. But it is also the most requested to do again by all three kids. ❤️🏒🥅

True story of why I’m a nutcase. While sitting o True story of why I’m a nutcase. While sitting on the boat recently, watching the kids play and listening to the house be built, I panicked. Crap! We should have put our house the other way. Left side on the right, right side on the left. That tree will be in our way! WHAT HAVE WE DONE?! 
.
So I immediately text Chuck who is working and tell him about how I am worried almost to tears about this. That we messed up.
.
It isn’t something we can do anything about even if we maybe should have done it the other way, which is probably nonsense. But we love this tree. And it’s going to add to our amazing view. And I want to plant another one on the other side one day anyway. And that big open spot will have a deck and porch behind the main floor garage. And what...I may have to turn my head slightly to see the lake better?🙄
.
Yep. I’m a nutcase. I don’t worry about the things right in front of me. Or even things I should worry about. Nope. Just things that can’t be changed...now that’s where my worry shines! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🤪
