Date Night: Stargirl

profoundly wonderful. Those are the two words that describe Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli (he also wrote Milkweed). It’s beautiful and heartfelt and a little bit magical.  When I closed the book it made me want to be a better me. There are times through out our married life that Mike and I have read a [...]

Date Night: Thank you.

A little goes a long way. Everyone needs more love, more acknowledgment, more seeing of who they are, what they do to make our lives better, and the chance to be held in the light for others to see their goodness. The people right next to us…the ones we love more need to hear from [...]

Polar Bears in the Arctic America’s Wildest Rivers Greenland Yemen Child Brides Saving Orphan Elephants Ancient England Choose an article and make it the basis for your date.  See if the place you eat dinner can be related to the [...]

Date Night: Photo Fun

about 40 boxes… that’s a guesstimate of how many photo boxes we have that are packed full of pictures. And those are only the ones that I took when I was shooting film!  So that’s minus the last 6 years! Forty+ boxes of pictures with something like 20 rolls of film in each box.  When [...]

Date Night: Star Gazing

tonight. The full moon is waning.  It’s still out there and brightening up the sky and everything under it.  It’s beautiful…and a little harder to see stars. Stars are still out there though and you’ll see some of the major constellations even with the moon showing off all her brightness.  Where we live it’s moderately [...]

Date Night: Cupcake Delivery

yummy fun. So the girls and I made cupcakes for their birthday to take to school today. I love bringing the cupcakes at lunch time because of all the eyes that light up when Mike and I walk in to the lunchroom with them. Which made me think…what a fun date idea! Make cupcakes and [...]

Date Night Adventure: 5 Love Languages

how do you like to get love? Eye opening is a great word to describe this little book, The Five Love Languages.  Mike and I read it years ago and took the test (although we are going to take it again tonight…I want to see if the results have changed…). Our love languages: Mike’s was [...]

Date Night: Mexico

well…sort of… We didn’t really go to Mexico.  It’s cold here so it was nice to pretend. When we go to Mexico I don’t want to go to the part where it’s all beaches and drinks with umbrellas.  I want to go to the places where I can see the everyday people.  I think they [...]

Date Night Adventure: First Date of 2012

First Friday of the New Year! It’s the perfect date for making a plan…and starting off fresh. I know. Really?  This for a date? Yes. I’ll be the first to say ugh! to planning. I’ve been flying by the seat of my pants for oh…I don’t know…most of my life. I like to just make [...]
