Off grid washer… kinda

So I was totally going to blog about how awesome dehydrating food is… but I can’t. Because once again, the devil was in the details for me. I love blueberries – in muffins, pancakes, oatmeal, etc. Besides Bou, none of the other children are excited about them. So that means, yup, I don’t purchase them.…

Austin Anomaly 2015 – Part 2

Low 70’s and cloudy. Cloudy wouldn’t normaly be considered perfect but when you are fixing to spend the next 4-5 hours walking all over the city – with 6 children – looking at your phone, cloudy makes it a whole lot…

Austin. The day of the Anomaly. And the weather was *perfect* for it! Low 70’s and cloudy. Cloudy wouldn’t normaly be considered perfect but when you are fixing to spend the next 4-5 hours walking all over the city – with 6 children – looking at your phone, cloudy makes it a whole lot better!…

Austin Anomaly 2015 Part 1

October 2014 our lives changed forever. The voice said it was more than just a game, of course that’s what a programmer would say. We dutifully read what each side stood for – the green Enlightened and the blue Resistance. And we chose. Drives to town and trips to the Little Big City became hunts…

Valentine’s at Build a Bear

Bou’s girlfriend + Valentines + Mr. Littlest’s birthday + OMG they have a Olaf and an Elsa! Build a Bear on a Saturday was probably not the smartest mama agreement… but it turned out pretty nice! And no the Big Girls did not get one – they have like 4 each already. 😉 https://web.archive.org/web/20160323214222im_/http://togethersimply.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/wpid-20150214_160311_01.jpg https://web.archive.org/web/20160323214222im_/http://togethersimply.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/wpid-20150214_160308_01.jpg…

Peeking out of hiding

Wow 2014 was certainly an interesting year. Wish I could say interesting in a good way. The blog has been deafeningly silent and for that I apologize. Long story short – I have adrenal fatigue which basically resulted in a gradual slowing down into non-functioning survival mode. And at times, even that was questionable. Not…

Christmas Eve at the Capital

What did you do on Christmas Eve? We did something we’ve never done. Apparently the Capitol building and some of its rooms are open on Christmas Eve (and probably other nights as well) and since we had to kill time before Midnight Mass it was perfect! https://web.archive.org/web/20160710155214im_/http://i2.wp.com/togethersimply.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/wpid-2015-03-13-21.46.37_0.jpg.jpeg?w=1300 https://web.archive.org/web/20160710155214im_/http://i1.wp.com/togethersimply.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/wpid-pc_20141224_183041_0.jpg?w=1300 https://web.archive.org/web/20160710155214im_/http://i1.wp.com/togethersimply.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/wpid-pc_20141224_183316_0.jpg?w=1300 https://web.archive.org/web/20160710155214im_/http://i0.wp.com/togethersimply.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/wpid-pc_20141224_183327_0.jpg?w=1300 They had little displays in…

Halloween Slacker Mom Style

So lets just cut to the chase. Its like a week before Halloween and I dont have anything. Nadda. Zip. Zilch. Because 2 weeks prior I had the brilliant idea to pose a question to the children that went kinda like this: Me: Hey, so I was thinking, what would yall rather do? Go buy…
