This morning my daughter told me she needed new fins for swim. Of course the day after someone else claimed free ones in the size she needs from one of my parent circles…. that’s not the point. I went online to order new ones, and I found the cutest Halloween swim suit and swim cap […]

I am trying to get more into the swim mom thing. I have a kid on the high school aquatics team, and my other two are on a club team. And of course we love our summer league team!! My daughter got to swim her last 25s at her last meet. I was excited for […]

It is interesting watching my son develop as a high schooler. He has enjoyed things he’s doing, and has even done something I didn’t expect in marching band – he plays the synthesizer.  He knows one of the band directors from last year, and he asked him if he’d be interested in doing the synthesizer. […]

My son is loving marching band which makes me very happy for him. It’s really crazy to see the effort it takes to get to football games and competitions. They have multiple school buses and a tractor trailer full of equipment. They also have two other large trailers. Tonight it looked like the semi and […]

I feel great today.  Before work I opened a package from Dillards since I had some extra time today.  I found some great sale items at the end of August from the community tab of someone I follow on YouTube (I can’t find it again!).  I have been using my black MCM tote and red […]

It’s back to school time!  My oldest started high school on Tuesday!  He has been balancing playing water polo and being in marching band really well.  I am so proud of him.  If he can get the school stuff down, too, then we will be all set.    My middle kiddo started 7th grade.  He […]

DAY 1 (Monday, July 8th) Hurricane Beryl has made landfall.  The storm made landfall to the west of us which, as us gulf coasters know, means we are on the dirty side. Lots of rain and wind happening because of the way hurricanes spin.  After the swim meet last night, a bunch of folks went […]

Yesterday I was prepping the golf cart for the parade and was walking out of the garage and my old, worn crock hit something wet, and I slipped.  I mostly caught my fall with my wrist (scratched my palm), but I also hit my shin and got a little scratch (very minor you can’t even […]

My oldest is Star Rank in scouts so we decided he needs to knock out some Eagle required merit badges this summer.  To go from Star to Life rank, you go from 4 Eagle required merit badges to 7. I want him to get to Life because Eagle is by far the hardest to accomplish, […]

I am super happy that my oldest is enjoying water polo so far. He said it’s been fun learning the skills. I just hope he can step up to the aggression because it sounds like water polo players are pretty tough on each other.  He did his team picture today. He was supposed to wear […]
