Another week has come and gone.Hannah is already counting down the days until school starts {42 days}. She misses her friends, mostly, but the girl loves school. I hope that continues.We have been pretty floppy around here. By floppy, I mean drained. It is so hot and going to be triple digits this week in my area of Idaho. I have zero energy to do anything and even at night it's still at least in the 80's so that doesn't help. I guess I better just make smoothies and shakes and homemade ice … [Read more...]

Try a freakin' hot hurricane type breeze. Silly lady.Swimming lessons are coming along great. The kids just love them. We are … [Read more...]
