Wide Open

Posted June 7, 2017

It’s here at last…Summer break! We barely made it through this last month of school, and I can honestly say I’m more excited for Summer than my kids! I love having the Cowkids home and I will NOT miss having to drive back and forth to town 2 times a day.… Read More »

I Am Over It…

Posted June 2, 2017

We have exactly 2 3/4 days of school left and I am over it. Every single end of year mom meme can 100% be applied to me this week. My children have gone to school with pants two inches too short, with holes in the knees, and polo shirts that… Read More »

Back From Safari

Posted May 22, 2017

Two weeks ago The Cowboy left for an African Safari… I am happy to say that he came home safe and sound on Friday night. The snow threw him off a bit, as it was a change from the 90 plus degree weather he had been experiencing! The Cowkids were… Read More »

Mama Mantra: Our Home is a Safe Place

Posted May 19, 2017

The Cowkids have been at each others’ throats the last few days, going out of their way to be annoying, hurtful, and mean. Some of the craziness is because The Cowboy has been gone for 2 weeks, and I know that this ridiculous Spring weather is NOT helping. Every teacher and mother… Read More »

Wyo Sal: Reading Between the Lines

Posted May 18, 2017
