My Hashimoto's Story

I haven't talked about my Hashimoto's disease yet, except mentioning that I have it in my profile, so here goes.                                       

I am a very high energy person.  My job as a high school band director keeps me running all the time, sometimes working 18 hour days, evenings, weekends and all throughout the summer as well.  In addition to that, I live with my fiance and his three children (they are with us about half the time).  I have many hobbies and work really hard to keep my home in order as well.  Long story short, my life is pretty busy, but who's isn't, right?

Waffle Time!

I finally tried that cinnamon roll on the waffle iron recipe I found on Pinterest forever ago.  The family said they were yummy (I'm gluten free, so I watched them enjoy and smelled them.  Sigh).  

Summer Funnies

Life is just funny in general, but I love when little extra hilarious things pop up.  Here are a few from this week...

I have seen lots of pictures of people who live in apartments or dorms, etc. naming there wifi networks something funny, or rude, or what have you to communicate with their neighbors and I always think they are so funny.  I was THRILLED when I was logging on to my own network and saw that my own neighborhood (filled with mostly elderly folks...) is getting in on the action.  

 Hide yo kids, hide yo wifi!  Hilarious!  Every single time I crack up!

Blog...third time's a charm.

Ok, so after I searched and searched and tried to remember what the name of this blog was, or even what website I used to make it, I found it!  There is something about doing a blog that just really appeals to me.  I'm not sure what it is, but I see all this ladies on Pinterest with their amazing blogs and tutorials and pictures, etc. and I just think "I can do that!".  So maybe this will be the year that I actually do it, for real.  We'll see.  I'm a teacher and about this time every summer I think I start getting bored or something because I always want to start a blog.  We'll see!  I'm adding this picture because blogs look more interesting with pictures.  Lol!

Room Re-do's

So this summer has been filled with activities (as usual) and I always feel like a whole summer has flown by and and we have nothing to show for it!  This summer, however, was a bit different.  We fully re-deocorated two complete rooms and sort of updated a third!

It has been clear for months that it was time to split the girls up into their own rooms, so we finally were able to make it happen this summer!

Magnetic Chore Board Pic

Customizable Chore Board

Made with stuff you probably already have around the house!

Here is the super cool chore board I made a few years ago for the girls.  We haven't used it in awhile (they sort of outgrew it), but I have had other people ask me about it, so here it is with instructions to make your own!
