Lately I haven't been feel very motivated to blog. Every day pretty much feels like the last.. so not much to inspire me to write. The kids have been going back to school. They go four days a week.. mornings only. Meaning they are back home for lunch and then log in for virtual learnings in the afternoon. Those few hours in the morning of them gone is doing us all a lot of good.  Have you heard of diamond painting? The boys just finished their recent puzzles and they were looking for a change. So I bought one on Amazon to work on together. Their excitement didn't last long.. I think they find it too monotonous.. so now I do a few minutes everyday while I sip my afternoon coffee. I find it relaxing. We finally got around to finishing up M's office space. It was originally meant to be a formal dining room. We are really not formal dining room people. We redid it the first time in 2015.. you can see it here . We had fixed it up all by ourselves and were very proud of the first

I started the year in a reading funk. I am not too picky a reader. I have a few genres I try to avoid but I try to keep an open mind. I'll overlook a few inconsistencies if it's a fun and thrilling experience. As we do with other forms of entertainment like movies and tv. ` The Girl in the Mirror by Rose Carlyle Synopsis - Twin sisters Iris and Summer are startlingly alike, but beyond what the eye can see lies a darkness that sets them apart. Cynical and insecure, Iris has long been envious of Summer’s seemingly never-ending good fortune, including her perfect husband Adam. Iris is called to Thailand to help her sister sail the family yacht to the Seychelles. But when she unexpectedly finds herself alone in the middle of the Indian Ocean, everything changes. When she makes it to land, Iris allows herself to be swept up by Adam, who assumes that she is Summer. Iris recklessly goes along with his mistake. Not only does she finally have the golden life she’s always envied, with he

This past weekend M and I both celebrated our birthdays. Saturday night we went out for dinner. One of our favorites even before the Covid. They have been doing a marvelous job with a tables placed great distances apart, sanitizing the tables after every course.  The kids couldn't agree on what dessert to order.. so as the little one  requested  huffed and puffed till we settled on a slice of cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. I assumed being my birthday I'd at least be able to choose the flavor.  As you can see H was not pleased.  Sunday was M's birthday and we woke up to more snow. Could there be anything lovelier? Sunday was also Super Bowl. The boys in my house are all football lovers. So we made an event of it. We weren't rooting for any team in particular but were a little disappointed the game wasn't more of a nail bitter.                           Etsy             Instagram             Twitter             Bloglovin

We went skiing over the weekend. We went back up to Plattekill Mountain in Upstate New York. We hired the same instructor we had last time to guide us down the green slopes. Once you graduate the bunny hill the next step is the green slope. We were all pumped to try it out.  This was not our first time on a chair lift.. but this was a lot longer and higher than the one I had been on before. Then I remembered some celebrity recently having their son falling off the chair lift and breaking their arm or leg..  The dismount was smooth.. last year, the last chair lift I had been on had a steeper dismount, D had ended up crashing into me and I had bent my knee in an odd angle.. the knee still hurts sometimes. So this was great.. a good start. The kids zoomed down the slope, fearless (so proud of them), the instructor had to remind them to slow down and wait for us. M was a little rusty on his turns.. the instructor commented on how well I was doing, better turns then the three boys, such gre
