Download Day – Gobble

Halloween took on a whole new meaning for us this year.  Cole didn’t even mind wearing his costume for the neighborhood Trunk or Treat on Friday, some photos in the front yard on Saturday and even the Skype chat with Grandma and Grandpa on Sunday.  Holidays are a blast with kids!

But now it’s November 2.  [...]

Download Day – Be Generous

I know, I know.  Download Day is late by about 36 hours.  But I just couldn’t bring myself to sit down and blog yesterday.  I was doing mom stuff and wife stuff and family stuff – in other words….I was running errands.  But between each errand I ended up having to keep coming home to [...]

Download Day – Crazy Caramel Brownies

I facebooked a couple weeks ago that I had made “Crazy Caramel Brownies,” which, although I did not concoct this recipe, I gave it this name because of its crazy goodness.  There was a request for the recipe and so I am gifting it to you as our download.  Simple for sure since that’s all [...]

Four words: “Kolette, you’re the timer.”
There are between 3-6 people in our class – depending on the [...]

Download Day – Becoming

I have had a few opportunities this weekend to think about this idea of “becoming.”  There are so many events and moments in our lives that mold and shape us into who we are – for good or not so good.  How we choose to react to our circumstances, moment by moment, shapes our character [...]

Download Day: It’s OK

Quote of the Day:
Jim (in the attempt to motivate):  “Do you want me to show you how I can do it twice as fast?”
Me:  “No.”
Of course you can do it twice as fast or twice as good or twice as long, Jim.  That’s why people don’t pay me to be their trainer.  Duh.  If you [...]

Download Day – Boot Camp

I am going to do it.  I have thought about it for a few months now, wanting to make sure I could commit to it before I took the plunge but I think I am ready.  Boot Camp.  I’m sure you’ve heard of them – intense exercise programs that meet 5 days a week for [...]

Download Day – Teacher Appreciation

I was looking through the Back to School issue of Creating Keepsakes magazine and came across an idea from Becky Higgins that struck a chord with me.  When I taught elementary school I always received many thank yous from students and parents at the end of the year and that felt great.  But Becky put [...]
