What is the definition of happiness? The dictionary says, “state of well-being characterized by emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. Well I think that happiness can be a choice. Nobody has a perfect life. There is always more you … Continue reading →

I am home alone. Silence. Outside is my favorite sound of thunder and flashes of lightening. Beautiful! Sanj and all 6 boys are off to see a movie. Usually my sidekick Josh is hanging on, but not tonight! This is … Continue reading →

It has been a good summer overall with the boys. Golfing, swimming, checking out some movies, seeing friends ever once in while… hockey camps… a trip to Maryland… not a whole lot of excitement but just enough. Packing has kind … Continue reading →

Sammy and Tyler live on the golf course. The longer they can stay in a day, the better. I often wonder WHAT they can do all day!!! Today was the Peterborough Golf and Country Club Championships. Max is in the … Continue reading →

I love watching the Olympics. I love the stories of getting to the top. I love the tears and emotions. I love living vicariously though someone amazing for a moment. Micheal Phelps… WOW. What else can you say? I loved … Continue reading →

Our house looks very discombobulated! It’s great! I got a LOT done today! It feels good. I feel like I will reach my goal… which is to have most of the house packed by Labor Day weekend so that we … Continue reading →

As mentioned, three of our boys are in Hockey Camp this week. It is quite a reputable camp with NHL players there donating their time to work with the kids. People come from literally all over such as Belgium even … Continue reading →

This evening was Zachary’s first day at Hockey Camp! It was a big moment! He is such a trooper and does not let size keep him back. Two summers ago a certain four year old INSISTED that he was old … Continue reading →

Someone mention the non-summer like weather we have had. Personally, thankful for my natural tan, this weather is perfect packing weather! It STORMED this afternoon…. actually it is again. While I pray that there is no flooding, I am grateful … Continue reading →

Last night we took the boys to the movies. I really was not keen on this movie as it looked like a total boy flick. I was pleasantly surprised. “The Journey to the Center of the Earth” was great. It … Continue reading →

I have watched my mother’s relationship with her siblings over the years. Despite the fact that they are in their 70s, they still act the same… sibling rivalry. They love each other, fight with each other and then it starts … Continue reading →

I have been thinking of how my children learn to love God. For the most part, it seems that as little ones they learn the story of Christ and simply believe and love Him without questions. As they grow older, … Continue reading →

I know I will get reported if I put the picture up… so I won’t. But Zachary and Josh had just taken a bath. I was helping Josh dry off. I looked up to see Zach spread out his towel … Continue reading →

I am not a water person. I wish I could just dive into a body of water and enjoy the experience. Nope. I have always had issues with wearing a swimsuit. (Can we not come up with better swimming wear?) … Continue reading →
