One More Day!!!

Just one day left of work and we are headed away from civilization for...

  • 4 days
  • Just the 2 of us
  • Endless forest & mountains
  • Beautiful, challenging hiking trails
  • Streams with great trout fishing
  • Coooool weather (it was like 98 degrees here today, apparenltly. Days like this I am happy I don't see the sun)
  • Views of herds of elk
  • Delicious, fresh, meals cooked in foil over a hot camp fire
  • Smores
  • Cerveza
  • Cereal in the mini boxes. But not my normal raisin bran...this is my "Get Out of Jail Free Card" --and I eat "naughty" things like Frosted Flakes and Pops! (Helllooo it's camping!)
  • I. Love. The. White. Mountains. (AZ..not the ones by New Hampshire)

Have so much fun! And you can totally send the 98 degree weather here. I'll take that over the mid-40s with rain (which I am sure you'd gladly take, just when you aren't raining, as I know the heat gets old!)

Have a blast and be safe!

Sounds too good to be true! The 98 degree temps sound unbearable but I would love to feel 78! We just can't break 60! Rain last night but sunshine today! Oh, glorious sun! Have a wonderful mini-retreat!

Have fun! I love camping. We were out the first part of the week. Really, Abby, I can't call what we do camping anymore. This new Airstream is the bomb!

However, we did spend many years in a tent and loved it. We turned 40 and decided it was time to quit sleeping on the ground!!!

Someday we will travel to Arizona and see those mountains you talk about!

That sounds AWESOME! I love camping!! We are hoping to get away for a few camping trips this summer but it's hard right now because Eric works weekends! Me working Mon - Fri and him working Sat - Sun does not make our schedules conducive to camping (or doing anything together really!!!) Hopefully that will change in June, though!

ABC

We are home from a wonderful, extended-weekend-getaway to Omaha. It was filled with family, relaxations, and greatness. I will do a more detailed recap on it soon! In the meantime, I'm doing this ABC bit that I stole from my cousin 's blog! Also, no -- I did not get switched to days. Trust me, I would've told the entire world and screamed it from roof-tops if I did. A. Age: 22, but that will change on Sunday. B. Bed size: King C. Chore you dislike: Cleaning the shower - especially dealing with hard-water stains. Lime away=ouch D. Dogs: Really really really really really dislike. Really dislike. Sorry.

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...
