Mother’s Day 2016

About two years ago we discovered my favorite brunch spot. And I just have two words for you. Maple. Bacon. The buffet at the Coeur ‘d Alene resort is my absolute favorite and mostly in part due to the to-die-for maple bacon. So for Mother’s Day this year, that is where we went for brunch, […]

Franklin Turns 4 Months

Our little Franklin baby has turned four months, and I must say that I am just enjoying him more and more as he continues to show more expressions, smiles and giggles. About three weeks ago he belted out the most wonderful laugh. It wasn’t just a little giggle, either. It was a full-blown laugh that […]

On Fleek

Are you as confused as I am? Or did the title make sense to you? I have always been quite behind on the times. As in, I had a tape player when others had CD players. I preferred a VCR player when others chose DVD. I tried working an IPOD for the first time when […]
