Summer Travel Journals

Recently, Oliver asked to go to the California Railroad Museum in Old Sacramento. Having been there a hundred times, I decided to change it up a little. I told him to gather a bag with notebook, pencils, and erasers. We will go, but we will also sketch the things we see. Light grumbling ensued. Once we got there and he began to sketch, something in him lit up. We closed down the museum, pencils still skittering across our pages. We went outside and wandered familiar scenes through...

New Moment Monday.

I woke up this morning reflecting on how I used to not like Mondays. Not because I didn't actually like them, but because I never questioned hearing the general societal belief that Mondays basically suck. I adopted that belief for so long. But lately, I'm finding that I really like Mondays actually, a lot. Mondays are like the sun rising in the east. They are a new beginning.

With two busy boys, school back in session and a husband who gets home late half of the week, I need easy food days. Usually, I roast a chicken with potatoes and then use the carcass and leftovers to make a bone broth soup the next day. Usually Mexican Tortilla. But, I figured people are going to get tired of that and I'd change it up and do something that I wouldn't normally think of making in a crock pot. Testing the limits of my crock cookery skills. Adding essential...

Be Yourself

Last night for our evening entertainment, the boys and I watched a little bit of Flula on Youtube. We saw a clip of him on Conan which is a pretty big spot to be able to cameo for any Youtuber. We hadn't looked him up in a while and it was nice to see that he's made a progressive career out of being himself. It helps that he's funny, quirky and random. And that's where the conversation starts. Because we are all funny, quirky and random. But...
