I grew up in the 80’s – spent my teenage years in probably one of the most creative and cool decades. Between the music and the fashion, I’m so fortunate to have experienced it firsthand. Now I also have a fondness for the 1880’s… the clothing and societal changes that […]
Ringing in the 2020’s
So let’s be honest with myself… around the time the kiddo got “back to school” in August 2019, I shifted my energies to that and COMPLETELY dropped the ball here. I’ve been busy and lazy and everything in-between. Life, happens. This post will simply be a short recap of the […]
I actually met Robert Smith of the Cure at LAX!
At first I wasn’t going to post about it, but then I thought, “Jen, this was KINDA a really big little moment in your life.” If you know me, you know these 2 things: First: I believe that all the wrong turns led me to the right place, and second, […]
WWE Summer Slam the Fiend – Fire Fly Fun House – this is my confession.
Fiend or friend, maybe both. I grew up NOT watching WWE Wrestling… and I HAVE BEEN MISSING OUT! Now, let me tell you, I grew up in St. Petersburg, Fl and lived in the Tampa Bay Area for nearly 40 years. I had numerous “sightings” of wrestlers, heck, I even […]
Summer is nearing an end…
This summer, we took it easy, REALLY EASY, and the kiddo thanked me. Since we homeschool, I usually attempt to schedule some schoolwork during the summer. Nothing too crazy, just a bit of reading, and math. My usual goal is to have 20-30 lessons complete by the end go July, […]
A very merry unbirthday!

3 years in Texas, it’s starting to feel like home.
The kiddo was at camp last week. She had such a great time. Making new friends, trying new things, cool and exciting experiences, and making memories. This week she’s at rock band camp. Hard to believe that we’ve been in Texas for 3 years now. THREE YEARS! I miss the […]
Homeschooling and summertime.
It’s almost the end of the year for school kids all over the United States. I’ve heard some moms and dads complain about what to do with their kids while they have off for the summertime. Sure there might be a family vacation or two, but that won’t keep the […]
A sea of blue in the hills of Texas
Springtime in Texas is so pretty. Fortunate for us, we home school, so taking time to actually stop and smell the flowers, is part of our science lesson plans. Our primary focus this year is to learn about the state we live in, visit places along our journey, and add […]
