    Family Vacation Idaho Style!! With The Help of Winning Moves Games!

    July 1st was the start of THE BEST vacation! Our kids drove up to Sandpoint, Idaho to surprise The Husband for his 70th birthday.  What a GREAT surprise that was! More surprising is I was able to keep my big mouth shut for an ENTIRE year!! Are you as surprised as I am?? Alice in the background didn’t look excited for a 3-day car trip. Dan wasn’t too sure either from the look on his face. HOWEVER, it was THE BEST week I’ve had in years. Activities From fishing, daughter Selena was the fishing champ with a total of 6 catches. (We did catch and release fishing). BTW, don’t you…

  • Did I break the site?

    HEY! I Didn’t Break It This Time!!

    Aren’tcha all impressed?? Remember last time I tried a new theme I broke it so bad that even GoDaddy Geeks had a heck of a time getting me up and running again. I think I may HAVE made 2 techs cry! ANYWAY, I was so happy with myself that I created a new header. Didn’t break the site. Didn’t lose any posts, pictures or comments. I was floatin’ pretty high, I must admit. That was until The Husband said that the header image is too confusing. So, Little Peanuts? What are your thoughts? Too confusing? Could you tell the basic message is “From my beautiful home in Sandpoint Idaho…….. Peanut…

    Hello October! $50 Your WAY Giveaway

    Well, September sure left like a LION! Snow! High winds. What kind of high winds? The kind of wind that tore the door off the BRAND NEW John Deere Tractor!!!!!! BLEW the door RIGHT OFF!! Other than that September was a pretty calm month. Made a new friend at the Goodwill store of all places. We are like two peas in a pod. Similar life paths including a move to Sandpoint! The house is still a work in progress. Deck… still not done. Now that we have snow I’m doubtful that my front porch or deck will be done before spring. Staying hopeful. pfffffttttttt who are we kidding? I’m not…

  • Ultra-Sleeves iPad Protection!

    I live in the San Diego area. I take care of my Granddaughter Alice at her house, which is about 5 minutes from the beach. I can actually see the ocean from her front room. Who wouldn’t want to spend there day HERE!?! Everyday, I pack up my backpack, grab my iPad and head to Carlsbad. I don’t go ANYWHERE without my iPad!! My iPad is great for entertaining Alice, taking pictures, checking email and so on. BUT, between a messy 2 year old, the beach, the pool and food, I worry that my much beloved iPad will suffer. (I LOVE my iPad!!) I can protect it from drops and…
