Happy Monday night/Tuesday!

Good evening, all! Whenever I set up my blog to automatically post at a set time, it doens't work. So instead of writing this Monday night, setting up it up for Tuesday -- I'm just going to post it now. Sorry.

Hope you all had a good weekend!

Our home inspection went considerably well. Nothing too major. Homeowning is a lot of work, as I've learned! But we're okay with that.

The termite inspector had a mullet. That was entertaining....

What does it mean to be a charge nurse? Whatever it means, I am sure you will do great!

That is odd about the scheduled posts not working... you are pushing post and not save as draft, right? Kind of annoying, huh?

I hate unloading the dishwasher, too, but I hate doing dishes by hand, too... I just hate dishes in general!

I'm with you - hate to empty the dishwasher! A kingsize bed is my dream but impractical for us as your Dad always sleeps on my side of the bed no matter the size! Kids - adorable and make great grandchildren! Also children! You did spend 3 days in the hospitaol when you were born but you'll never remember that! I hope you don't have to be there for anything serious!

Let's try this again...

Last year we purchased soil, mulch, and all these plants that grow great in well-watered, rich-soiled areas. Then we went away for a weekend, and everything dried up like a prune. I was a bit disappointmented, as gardening is a hobby & passion of mine. In fact, I became quite frustrated with our hot climate. But we did some research on desert plants, and I found a new love! Desert plants are quite fascinating, actually. Their tough outer skin & small leaves result in maximum absorbtion of our spare water -- allowing them to thrive on little. They are also extremely regenerative. You can cut a branch or an arm off a cactus, and plant it in the ground somewhere else to create a new plant. So we found a very local cactus nursery last weekend, and got to work! Here are a few of the gems we planted. (These are pictures I've found offline, as I haven't taken proper pictures of our front yard yet due to the immaturity of our plants at this point) The Desert Barrel ...

Currently - May edition

   I haven't blogged much - but the last time I did one of these, Maddy was 9 months old. It's really fun looking back on the things that were "stressors" to me at that time. Prior to that - my currently post was a pregnancy edition.  So here goes May 2022. Maddy is almost a 15-month old and summer has set ablaze here in Tucson.   Reading :  I really wish I had a better answer for this one, but I have not been the best about reading lately. The only book I'm reading is "How to talk to your kids so they'll listen and listen so they'll talk". It is really good. Most of the book is geared more to school-aged kids, in my opinion. But it highlights some great communication skills with children to help them trust you as a parent to be open and honest. Eating: All the smoothies. It has been getting really hot here - and every day when we get home from our stroller run I make a smoothie for Maddy with whole milk, Fage, and fruit - and then a smoothie for...
