Mother's Day 5K

By Pamela
I know Mother's Day seems like it is still months and months away. And I guess technically it is still two months away. But, it is time to register for the 7th Annual Mother's Day 5K Run/Walk. The Run/Walk starts at 8:00 on May 8, 2011. Yes, that is Mother's Day. The entire run/walk is only for women.

I completed the walk last year with my dear friend Krista, I actually went and grabbed this photo of us taken last year.
This picture cracks me up! I am short. Krista is tall. She is trying to shrink down and I am trying to grow so we both look silly!  After a newbie completes the Mother's Day 5K, she earns her tiara. I can not tell you how much fun this event was! The course is dotted with Mommy-ism signs. They have specially decorated custom porta-potties.Did I mention the really cool t-shirts? And who does not love balloon flowers hanging over the start/finish line??

I officially registered today. I know Krista is planning to walk with me again. I would love to see more of my Mommy friends join us. What a better way to celebrate Mother's Day than making a statement that your health? I can't think of one. I am thankful I am around to do another year.

If you would like to register for the Mother's Day Run, please use this link. Send me a shout-out and let me know if you will be walking with us. Since it is Mother's Day, make it a generational event. Bring your Mother. or Daughter. or Sister-in-law. or Best Friend.

Tour of Missouri: Montauk State Park and The Ozark National Scenic Riverway

By Pamela
August has become our summer vacation month. Summer activities have usually wound down and we like to get one last hooray in before school starts.  This summer we decided to travel our own state and visit a few places we have been dreaming of visiting but were a little too far for a weekend road trip. Despite last minute vacation glitches we managed to pull out of Kansas City around 9:00 in the morning headed to Montauk State Park just outside of Licking, Missouri.  Montauk State Park is one of three state parks where you can trout fish in Missouri. We are frequent visitors of  Bennett Springs  State Park but not Montauk, just because of the travel distance from our house. (Bennett Springs is about 3 hours and Montauk is double that.) Setting up and settling in was relatively easy. We took a tour of the park and hiked around exploring the spring that feeds into the river. The Park stocks this river each night with trout. The fishermen like this river be...

My Weekend Project: A PVC Camping Lamp Post and Flag Holder

By Pamela
I have seen a few of these around campsites and I knew I would like to have one. The only problem that I had is The Husband. He already thinks we drag too much stuff with us when we go camping and if I had told him my desire to have a PVC Camping Light Pole he would have shut it down quickly! So, that leaves a girl with only one choice: Figure out how to do it by herself. I did some internet searching and found a few road maps on RV forums. They seemed easy enough! I visited the local hardware store for the supplies: An exterior post lantern light 2 inch PVC pipe (I used 5 feet but had to purchase a 10 foot piece) A 3 inch toilet flange A 3 inch to 2 inch Reducer PVC Glue A 12 foot electric cord kit 2 - 3/4 inch PVC Caps I also used a few supplies we already had on hand: White Spray Paint 3 1/2 foot - 3/4 inch PVC Pipe Drill Bits (1 inch and 1/2 inch) Tent Stakes The first step was preparing the lantern light. I could only find black i...

How Hallmark Broke My Christmas Heart

By Pamela
Hallmark has broken my heart. Maybe even damaged a bit of my soul.  {YES, it sounds dramatic, but please read on to understand why!} My love for Hallmark started years ago when I was about 19-20 years old.  I was dating a boy who had invited me home with him for the holidays. He also happened to be moving from Texas to Missouri at the end of our holiday vacation and I was going to drive home with him.  His Momma gave him a box full of Christmas ornaments from Hallmark that she had been collecting for him for years. Since he was born. Two decades of memories that he cherished so much. I found it endearing. And I made a mental note that I would start a tradition when I had children. Well, my own kids came years later. But that year, I was blessed with a late-in-life baby brother. And I started his ornament collection. He got the "My First Christmas" ornament. At the same time, I found a super cool Star Trek ornament that my Dad would get a kick out of. Just like...
