We all end up where we are meant to be eventually.
I just read a great blog post about U-turns and life. The author articulately compared life is with getting lost while driving. Oh, Dang! I just closed the tab for the blog I was wanting to link to. The blogger just left me a comment so now I have the url again, yay! Follow the […]

Woho… The crocus are in bloom!
That means gardening fun is about to begin for us! The crocus blooms are a beautiful yellow and are quite cheerful. They are kind of short, like they were planted too deep but it still so great to see them even if they are short. Do you have any early spring bulbs that are blooming […]
I hate my tongue- Nasty metal taste in my mouth??
I hate my tongue. If I could cut my tougue off I would! For the last 2 days I have had this awful metal/ copper taste in my mouth. It is noticable all day long, I can drink or eat anything without noticing it. I miss being able to enjoy my coffee! Yesterday I thought […]
Birthday plans- I made some!
I finally decided what I wanted to do for my birthday. I have been lacking motivation or excitement for my birthday this year but have been working to get excited about it. Some of my family will be coming to stay with me at the end of the week and I decided I wanted a […]
Happy St. Pattys day guys, dye your hair green like me!
Yep, St. Patrick’s day is today… Just realized this. Here is a little flashy, flash from the past for you:
When I was in 6th grade I was going to this girl scout party for St. Patrick’s day. They were having a contest, “wear the most green and win”. My step dad and I planned to go and win.
It's a stormy weekend day, perfect lazy weather!
Today is a lazy day! I am crampy, achy and beat again and it is snowing so I started the laundry, folded a dry load and now am sitting in my bed writing this post. I can see the snow falling from where I sit and it’s so warm and toasty here. My students did […]
Happy weekend fellow bloggers!
By the time you read this my students and I will be out in the hot phoenix sun rehearsing and getting ready to perform. They go on around 5pm and it will take us till about midnight to get back home to Flagstaff, AZ. Many of you are worried that I am pregnant and I […]
Bleah, today I am off…
I woke up at 3am this morning feeling like I was going to throw up. I fumbled around looking for my trusty bottle of pepto bismol while trying not to wake N up. I was feeling crampy yesterday and this morning my temperature was up 7 10ths of a degree so I figured my period […]
Our weekend trip to Grand Falls, Northern Arizona
On Saturday N and I headed out to Grand Falls to see the famous “chocolate falls” on the reservation. It is a little known wonder that is very cool! How many waterfalls have you seen in Arizona? They do exist and this is just one of them! It was an overcast day with beautiful snow […]
Another year older, oh how time flies…
My birthday is 10 days away. I’ll be 26 N tells me, already I have lost track of how old I am… I could figure it out by doing some math but I don’t really focus on how many years I have been on this earth. My age doesn’t really coincide with all I have […]
Oh, the pain! Workout pains are killer.
Yesterday I did some light pilates moves with my students. We are doing many dance moves that require much body strength and I have found pilates to be the best way to strengthen many parts of the body in a low impact direct way. Well, we sure worked the body! My abs are sore in […]
So many grown adults are not grown at all..
I am continually amazed by the actions and behaviors of the so called “adults” around me. So many times they act and behave in ways that aren’t so adult, I find myself thinking about how my high school students are more mature and adult like than they are. This may be because I take pride […]
My blogging buddies…
I just saw a Whirpool ad on TV and for a second I thought the logo actually said Witchypoo.. Can’t tell I read her blog often huh? I also have found myself thinking about Veronica and her move, hope all is going well there. It’s crazy how you get so involved with your blogging buddies […]
Making my own braided rug- Prairie Chic Craft Idea

You can make your own braided rug using old t-shirts, boxers, linen and even scrap fabric from sewing projects! These are sometimes referred to as “rag rugs” they have great character and are […]

Bleach smells bad so I used it to clean the old home.
We seldom use bleach because of the environmental/ health impacts but had acquired a few large bottles of it some time ago. I don’t like the smell of it and I always seem to mix it with something that I shouldn’t (like cat urine in the litter box or whatever).. I was determined to make […]
