Today is a snow day!! It's still snowing!
Well, school was canceled today! It’s a snow day because the roads are not clear.. They are very snow packed. It’s such a pretty sight! When we first move into this house (we are renting) we didn’t think we would be her for the holidays because we are renting on a month to month basis […]
Woho… We got lots of snow! – A photo essay.
Here are some photos of the snow storm we just got and will continue to experience through the week. Yes, this is in Arizona-amazing huh? These are our mailboxes, snow covered and waiting for mail. They are ghetto and often blow open in storms as you can see. When my boyfriend went walking down the […]
It's a stormy, stormy day.. Yay!

You don't need to be nasty- A rant about service industry workers
Okay, so I know what it feels like to work in the service industry, I have about 10 years experience in the field.

More winter weather is on the way and we have more babies!
Well it looks like I am getting my wish for snow! We had a light snow storm last weekend and we are expected to get another one this weekend that will actually be starting tomorrow. This is great for Christmas cheer but bad for Christmas tree cutting. We had planned to cut our tree down […]
Enjoy the holidays- family members and all!
I am going to be honest, the holidays make me very anxious. I find that old issues and grudges resurface during this time and they make the holidays almost impossible to enjoy. Visiting certain family members means enduring blatant insults, being judged, openly criticized and manipulated. Certain people will go on and on about all […]
Babies, babies everywhere!

When it rains it pours- It's been hectic!
The last few days have been quite crazy! Saturday we awoke to fish tank water leaking all over the house, after we solved the tank issue we went to see my niece and the rest of my family. We got some good pictures! She is such a well behaved baby, no crying or fussing at […]
It is an eventful day, because of our pets.
First of all thank you to everyone who wished me well for the craft show! I did pretty good, got 3 custom order inquiry’s. Will deliver one on Monday! A local business woman will be giving my ornaments away as “meeting favors” at her board meeting on Monday. I am delivering them to her, also […]

I am an auntie and the house is dirty.
I just wanted to take a moment to tell everyone that Hazel Renee Norris, my niece, was born early this morning. We are all very thrilled and I can’t wait to see her this weekend! Although I was supposed to have a baby first (I was the first born so I am supposed to be […]
Burr…. 19 degrees? Thank goodness for free fire wood!
Well, the forecast is COLD as you can see by the screen shot above. Thank goodness for our local freecycle group and the nice lady that let us haul away a full truckload of free firewood this weekend. We are renting a home with a nice wood burning stove and we are stoked that we […]
Have you put up your holiday decorations yet?
Several of our neighbors have really gone all out with holiday decorations. I am amazed at how many people have started and completed putting up their holiday decorations, it is only November 27th! We haven’t even retrieved our holiday decorations from the storage unit yet and some of our neighbors have all their decorations up […]
