Its Penny being...Penny. #shypuppy #sweetgirl We choose to live life in a “no holds barred” kind of philosophy in our home. This includes but is not limited to all things concerning safety and physical activity. I aim for moderation, but it never ends up that way. It’s just not our style. New post on blog. Link in profile. #noholdsbarred #ballstothewall I was looking forward to a nice quiet peaceful morning with coffee in hand. Sitting by the tree while everyone is still sleeping and it’s still dark out, allowing only lights of the tree to illuminate the room. Sort of tradition for me to sit in the glow of those magical lights and do some reflection on the past year. But my steroid Christmas tree lights had other plans. New post on blog.

Just as the weather was turning cold and all the beautiful leaves in their high definition color had fallen leaving naked branches exposed for everyone to see, I started to yearn for those elegant palm trees in our old backyard of Florida. And then it snowed. New post on blog. Link in profile. #snowday #heyitsnowedlastweek SNOWDAY!!!! WOOT WOOT!!!
#winterwonderland #sleddingfun #snowday2018 Who said “Puppies”??? Yes folks. It was time. Time for us to open our doors, which we closed 3 years ago, to the canine part of our family. I kept waiting for all of our ducks to fall in line before we made the leap. But, truth is, we would have been waiting a long time. Does life ever fall in line? I was tired of waiting.

#puppies #bostonterriers #bonesandpenny Just wanted something with a little more “Spranger” in the front. Temporary of course, until we start on that front porch we’re crushing on!! #redandturquoise #myownlittlecolorfulcottage I’ve written about my “craptastic” days before. They are always filled with the most ridiculous situations you’ll ever find yourself in. I’ve come to appreciate those days because, no matter how trite it may sound, it really helps me to appreciate the non-craptastic days. Also, if I can recognize the symptoms of those dreaded days early enough, I can do my best to turn the day around instead of being enveloped by it. Last Tuesday proved to be a great example of what can happen when I try to reclaim the day before it unravels. New post on blog. Link in profile. #craptasticday #craptastic #challengingdays To nap or not to nap...that is the question. Knowing what happens when I don’t nap, I am leaning towards the former. New post on blog weighing the pros and cons. Link in bio. #theexorcist #nightmares #daymaresaretheworst Challenges help me remember to appreciate all the moments in my life that aren’t so challenging. That’s the best I could do today. My brain is thinking about that awesome 2 hour nap I’m taking later this afternoon. A tale of parenting challenges on the blog this afternoon.
