Skateboard window boxes

I asked my super hunky hubby to build me window boxes for the office/shed. The boys had a few spare skateboard decks laying around so I asked for a sk8ter twist for it too!

Hiking Fun

Over the winter break we were able to take the boys on three different hikes. We went to Cronan Ranch near Coloma, Stevens Trail in Colfax and The Dipsea Trail in Mill Valley. I loved them all, but my favorite was the Dipsea Trail.

Constant Goodbyes

I have been thinking a lot about how we are always saying goodbye. Goodbye to our youth. Goodbye to friends and coworkers as we move to new jobs. Goodbye to loved ones when they die. Goodbye to phases in your relationship when it’s new and hot and you can’t get enough of one another and you have time and privacy to explore without a care in the world. Goodbye to wearing high heels because it makes my feet and lower back feel broken.

Change is FUN

We get this one precious life to experience as much as we can and love our lives. We are in the driver’s seat, we’ve got to work at what we want to happen.

I love October

I have a huge crush on October. I love the cooler weather, the leaves changing color and I LOVE HALLOWEEN!

May was a doozy

I am excited to let the door hit May on its way out and move on to June. The weather was crazy weird and it was just packed with work, school and so much more.

If you give Nora new patio furniture, she will want a sanded/stained deck to go with it....

One day I looked at the patio furniture on our deck and realized I couldn’t look at it anymore. Our neighbors on Oxbow put it out for free in 2004 and I painted it and stuck some patio cushions on it. I was done looking at it, so I finally bought this set on Wayfair. I put our old set on Facebook Marketplace for Free and it was gone within the hour. I love giving stuff away to people that want it! Hurrah!

Functional and Beautiful!!

I bought our entry way table from Marshall’s when we lived on Oxbow Drive. I have pictures of it when Erik was a baby, so I know we’ve had it for at least ten years. I remember shopping on my lunch break and shoving it into the back of my Honda. It is really light so that was always nice for cleaning, etc.
