Hi folks. Hope everyone is doing well. I also hope those of you with munchkins are settling into the back to school routine. I know I am struggling a bit with it. Kiana went back last thursday but was off friday. Then back today for one class and again tomorrow. Bray had a part day today. Not in tomorrow. They both go wednesday, but only Kiana goes thursday. Both are off friday. So I am rarely home alone. To be frank I am driving them in so quite honestly them going to university has me more busy than I ever was when they were in grade/high school. My kids always took the bus so unless they had extracurricular activities (which they did ALOT) they didn't need me to drive. Bray is still car shopping so we're sharing two cars for four people. Hubs is back to work and drives 45 minutes away so let's just say my new job is shuffling the kids around. Work, other work, school, outings, soccer. How at 17 and 23 am I more busy than I was when they were 10 and 15?? So weird. So two things come to mind. We must get a car picked out for Bray and mini-me needs her licence stat!!
Okay enough biatching.
So first off I need to apologize for not getting to your blogs as consistently as I usually do. With the lead up to back to school, school starting and the puppy I am just beyond busy. But it will settle down this week and I can get into a routine. I love visiting you guys and always look forward to seeing what you're up to. It inspires me to see how creative you all are. Most days I feel not worthy to be here among you. You make me want to do better, to be better and to achieve more. So thank you to all of you who keep me going and keep me thinking outside the box.
Now here is what I've been up to this past week. It won't be a long list. I have not been blogging as regularly as I normally do. But here it is for you anyway.
Kim's Recap:
Yeppers, that's my week in a nutshell. Wish I had cooked and posted more but there are weeks you just get busy and ordering out is just easier. Simple but true.
So here are the ones I read. They vary week to week on how much I can read them but these are the ones I try not to miss.

ReplyDeletePS...I tagged you in a new blogger game. Hope you'll play along :) xo
Terrific links and thanks for the tags! I have read and loved just about every one of them! We do stalk the same folks, don't we? Have a GREAT day!
ReplyDeletePuppy is SO cute...but I have no idea how to keep that sweet face clean! Dropping ours off at the groomers today and then headed to the movies!
This all looks so delicious. I know right where I'd start though. That New York style pizza!
ReplyDeleteGreat line up here and love your little cute puppy! Being the transportation all the time does kind of get old, but hopefully it will not go on much more.
ReplyDeleteWonderful line up of links, Kim! I can't stand how cute that dog is and I can't imagine trying to keep him clean!
ReplyDeleteYour puppy is so cute!! Great round up!
ReplyDeleteLove the line up you have! Still loving that S'mores ice cream! Hope you kids get back into the swing of school!

Great links! Having the new puppy must feel like adding another kid to your schedule! Find some time to do some good things for you too!
ReplyDeleteyou have some seriously good food in that line up, I just got dinner and now I'm looking for something to snack on!
ReplyDeleteLove your little furbaby, my Berners would love that pup!
Thanks so much for the shout out!!! There are so many good links in this post. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteYour puppy is cute. Good food. Love it.
ReplyDeleteHehee I really love Malia's appearance on your blog. =) Lots of delicious sweets made me super hungry and I need to sleep! ;-) I need to come back and check your links. Thanks so much for the tag Kim!
ReplyDelete@Dzoli- You are so welcome. I can't wait to have more free time next week. I miss visiting everyone all the time. I feel neglectful to my blogging buddies this past month. Hope you get some stuff done during your down time but hope you get to relax too.
ReplyDelete@Lizzy- She is a cutie but man she can be a handful. I knew terriers had issues but man she is stubborn. This is going to be rough training I think. Lol! I saw the game and am excited to play along. Thanks for tagging me and will zip by and give you a heads up when I post it.
@Ann- You are welcome and thanks. It's good to make stalking a group event. Lol! She is a sweetie but man oh man she is wild. And always dirty as she digs. And barks. And digs. And barks. Lol.
@Curt- Thanks and me too. Pizza is my downfall. Had it again tonight. Lol!
@Tina- Thanks. I am hoping my son has his car by next week and then it shall cut back alot. I'll still have to drive once or twice a week but not two or three times a day.
@Stephanie- Thanks. It seems impossible. She is always dirty. You'd think I'd know having a white horse. What was I thinking? Lol!
@Lindsey- Thanks and thanks.
@Erin- Thank, thank and I hope so too. I'm exhausted. Lol!
@Akheela- Thanks so much.
@Anne- Thanks. It really is. I am so tired. She is wearing me out but she is such a doll.
@Chef Dennis- Thank you so much! And thanks for popping by. I adore Berners, there's a barn friend who has two. So cute!
@Happy When Not Hungry- You are so welcome and thanks.
@Christine- Thanks so much. xx
@Nami- Thanks my dear. She is finding her way into the blog. I think she might need her own. Rofl. You are welcome Nami. You know I adore your blog.
