Tough lessons

Seems the boys are having a hard time turning I thier listening ears. This is where being a single parent is exhausting. No back up. Ahhhh but I will win. I am winning. 

Wishing I was in SD

With this guy... I miss him terribly....

What a day!

What an amazing day! Filled with a nap on the hammock, 3 Mille walk, good conversation, corn hole, friends, elk shining and just flat out fun!! Someday I'll own a cabin somewhere. A place I can take my boys and relax away the city life. 

A weekend away

A weekend away is just what I needed.  Off to the high country where I was able to plant wild flowers today and enjoy the smell of dirt. Sat on the porch, read my book and enjoyed some solitude. Reminded of the days when things were tough and I would bring the boys up here. My friends so amazing to me and my boys to provide a refuge out of the city when we needed it most. A glimpse of my time...

I am a strong confident woman.

No one. No one will make me feel like I am not. Enough said.

I also craft when frustrated...

When all else fails.... I cook

I LOVE to cook. It's my vice. It brings me joy when I'm lonely, frustrated or missing my family. So today I cooked.  

Homemade chicken tenders. Totally healthy and scrumptious. Boys loved them so they are for sure a win! 

Someday my kids will appreciate my cooking. :-) maybe someday a man will too! Because I can cook! 

So glad for my awesome friend Michelle. She listens and understands. Thankful that even miles separate us I know she is always there with true honest advice. Not filled with fluff.

Spending my evening with my friend Cassandra. Going to watch pitch perfect. It should be a grand time. Also feeling very appreciative for this friendship I have built.
