Before I get to Sunday, I must share some Saturday photos. Yes, I know. This doesn’t quite match up with the title of this post, but hey – work with me here. For us, Saturday meant watching our niece, Miss Morgan, while her parents worked. And let me tell you,…
It’s been a long while since I’ve written a Friday post, but I’m feeling inclined this morning to get a head start on the weekend. We don’t have big plans – just a little babysitting of our niece, Miss Morgan, tomorrow (yay!) and then catching up on life, otherwise known…
I was totally craving a really good turkey burger today, so I made sure I had the ingredients and made Buffalo-Blue Cheese Turkey Burgers tonight. Teacher Man wasn’t home from school yet (he had parent open house tonight) and Joe was completely starving at 4:45 p.m. (so weird for an…

I can’t believe it’s Sunday night already. And it’s weird because I think I’m a little sad that Teacher Man goes back to school tomorrow. Usually I’m ready to get back to the structure and routine of the school year. Somehow tonight, though, I’m mourning how quickly the summer went by.…
