Digital Life

Ever sit and think about the electronics in your life? I realized today as the UPS man drove away leaving my new iPhone on the porch that life isn't too far fetched from what they pictured in the 50's. At one of my jobs we had orientation and they showed us this image:













Granted my house isn't waterproof but life is pretty high tech now days. Keep in mind my husband and I are young millennials and I work in the IT field. We have 2 iPads, 2 smartphones, an iMac for work, a Surface tablet for work, a Macbook Pro laptop, an Xbox, a Roku streaming device, and a Roomba.

Could there be any more electronics in our house? We try to make sure it doesn't separate us from each other or our friends too much. We don't bring our phones into the bedroom, they charge downstairs at night. We also try and not mess with our phones too much when we're with anyone or even just with each other.

It's amazing how different life is even from when I was little. I will say though, I may not be able to hose down my furniture but it's pretty great being able to push a button and have my living room vacuumed while I sleep.

First Day of School

It seems like everyone is going back to school! Jaxon started preschool this last week. He actually went for a few months last school year but this is his first "first day of schoool" experience. Everyone has asked how he's doing and it's kind of funny. The question almost seems odd to me. He LOVES school. He gets to go outside of the house for 2 hours, 3 days a week and see his friends and play with his teachers. Yes, I understand it's school and he's learning, but at preschool age it's a lot of fun for him. Here's some fun photos from his first day. How cute is he with his little backpack? They had this adorable little photo booth for kids on their first day. I tried to get him to pose so I could read the sign. Of course the sign turned into a bird. What can I do. I tried. Jaxon posed with his teacher. She's so sweet, it's her first year teaching and she reminds me of gum drops and rainbows and puppy dog tails. Everythi...

2 Year Anniversary

May 15th is our anniversary. For out two year anniversary we went to the Grand Canyon. It really couldn't have been greater. Here are some of the pictures from this past weekend. This was our cabin and the view from our window We learned how to lasso and saw tadpoles Relaxed and enjoyed the view I do have some travel tips for you. If a place if called "Out of this World", you really should stop and try their food. Eat a burger, take a picture, order a cake (try to be better than me and snap a picture before you scarf it down), also, order a pizza to take back to your room. It'll be worth it. Trust me.

Pake

When did life change so much? One kid become two? Stay at mom become stay at mom and worker? Errands become errands and more errands because they are never finished? Seven become seven and eleven? Wait... I may have gotten a little off track with that last one. Life is always so crazy it seems that one you finally get used to it, something changes. That's what pake is. Something you're not used to but it can totally work. A pake: half pie, half cake. Don't worry, we're not talking apple pie with frosting. It's a pie crust with red velvet cake and cream cheese frosting. Now this is a learning lesson. The original recipe I used is from  Lifetime . It was originally made on a show called "Drop Dead Diva". Total chic show but it was fun. The only thing it that whatever world they cook in, cakes rise several inches. Here in the normal world? Not so much. I've modified the recipe slightly below. Ingredients: Pie Crust - Either make your own or ...
