Friends for life

May 10, 2022 prettymamacaresLeave a comment

Fifty-seven years-old…yikes, when did that happen? Of course, that can only mean one thing (and yup, I know, I’m old); it’s been forty years since I was a senior in high school. It’s also been forty years since my classmates were seniors in high school, and again, that can only mean one thing: reunion time.…… Continue reading Friends for life

When you’re a kid, you are running; literally running everywhere. Think back to your youth; whether you partook in a riveting game of tag during recess or a competitive game of kickball during gym class, you were expending energy and loving every minute of it. I have only the best memories of that giant red…… Continue reading Mudslide

When I was a child, my father greeted the morning far earlier than the rest of the family. Being a farmer at heart, he’d get up before the sun peeked through the distant tree line, make himself a toasted velveeta and mustard sandwich, and quietly slip out the back door undetected. I was used to…… Continue reading Small gestures

How long do you keep nostalgic items? I have three baby books, multiple photos boxes, and three art filled portfolio cases for each of my children resting snuggly in my family room closet. Is it considered over-the-top that I have taken the time to organize these items for them? Could be, but I wanted to…… Continue reading Treasure box

Selling the farm

October 1, 2021October 4, 2021 prettymamacaresLeave a comment

It’s funny how we can develop attachments to inanimate objects; I feel bad trading in a car. I can’t imagine selling a home you’ve lived in for 48 years, but that is exactly what my parents are doing; they are literally selling the farm. Farmstead – 1804 For so many reasons I am happy for…… Continue reading Selling the farm

Best day ever

My dad was my biggest fan when I was a young athlete; always a fixture on the sideline, watching me play field hockey as a teen and softball from lassie league through high school. Whether it was a strikeout or a homerun, he was always there giving positive reinforcement. It would make perfect sense for…… Continue reading Best day ever

Every spring, I landscape for two months to prepare our home for the summer. From pruning, edging, mulching, seeding, planting flowers, weeding…well, the list goes on and on. This year, my normal to-do-list doubled as I needed to prep for two weddings to be held in our backyard. The rains came relentlessly this summer, and…… Continue reading Whisper me back

Quite A Pair

She sat quietly on the cool concrete bench; her hands folded on her lap. The snow fell playfully, grazing the lenses of her glasses. The apple tree branches, freshly dusted with snow, stood protectively to the front and side. The air was cool. A cardinal pair lit upon a branch. The male so boisterously red…… Continue reading Quite A Pair

Simple Things

April 3, 2020 prettymamacaresLeave a comment

Who could have guessed months ago that our daily routines would be flipped upside down? With our collective health at the forefront, we are unfortunately no longer presented with endless choices for spending our time. Confined to our homes, we are searching for ways to entertain ourselves and to stay optimistic and hopeful. So, these…… Continue reading Simple Things

I walked across the grass this morning…I think I broke it🤭
I had a beautiful forsythia transplant growing and then someone got hungry or thirsty. Let’s see what happens next year🥴
Zac Brown never disappoints - awesome old/new songs plus some Dolly, Lionel, Bruno, Charlie Daniels, Pharrell, Michael Jackson, and more including Rap songs- too many awesome hits to recall sung by different members of the band and openers. You can’t lose going to this concert👍🏻 Cait, Mo, me and the Gare had a blast!!
I deserve this weekly bouquet- ya think🤭
