*cross posted at Sprouting Off A few months ago a woman approached the boys (the nursery boys, not my boys…although they are my boys too) about the possibility of running a Living Social deal. I had been harping on them about running a Groupon deal until I read an article about the pitfalls for small […]
I say it then you do it
Funny thing happened when I checked my email
Yesterday afternoon I was checking my email minding my own business… as I’m apt to do when I noticed an email with the subject line Pecha Kucha – Invitation to speak. ?If I weren’t an art geek I would totally think this was some other random spam mail offering to help me enlarge my penis. […]
Flajerol
We have a new game to play. ?The boy sometimes gets words a little wrong and came up with this one this afternoon. ?Actually it was Frajerol, but I wasn’t paying attention when I did my little graphic so it’s Flajerol. ?Anyway, when he said it the trusty husband and I started laughing and thought […]
Help me do more good
I have a once in a lifetime (ok, more doesn’t come around very often) opportunity this summer. ?The youth director and I are taking 3 teenage girls to China for 16 days. ?It is a mission trip with chinaconnect. ?We are partnering with two other Lutheran churches for one large youth event. ?I’m not sure […]

Normally I’m not your paranormal romance type. ?I haven’t seen the movie Twilight. ?I haven’t ready any of the books. ?It’s just not my bag. ?I’m more of the historical fiction, horror or biography kinda gal. ?I also like a good documentary type book. ?Earlier this year I was contacted by one of my readers […]

or free cookies and some swag. I had the chance to check out and review the new Volvo XC60 in Olympia a while ago. ?Go check it out and tell me what you think. Hair cut is at 1:00. I’ll post photos when I get home if I can… or maybe I’ll make you wait […]
You need to do this*
I’m not usually one to post hoards of things requesting you help such and such a family in an adoption. I’ve been through a rough adoption. I know how hard it is. And everyone seems to have their troubles with some form of government or another. From what I see the majority of those asking […]
Children and restaurants
During our corporate friends recent visit we took them to Etta’s.? This is one of Tom Douglas’s many restaurants in Seattle.? (For those unfamiliar, Tom Douglas is a well known Seattle chef with a slew of fantastic restaurants and he is best known for his Crab Cakes.? I now know why.)? Etta’s is a casual […]
Go Local
I’m not sure if this is a Tacoma thing or if other cities in the country have the Go Local bug.? From my own personal observation it seems to be that my city is very local-centric.? I love that about my city.? Of course Tacoma has a long an torrid past.? It used to be […]
Long term effects unknown
I get lots of comments and emails from people saying that I might want to seek help from my mental health professional and possibly have her prescribe a bit of the joy in pill form. If you’ve been around awhile you’ll notice that I’m a little afraid of the doctor. This includes my mental health […]
