I did not have to think long and hard about this question. Because the answer came pretty quickly. While traveling, I missed routine. Seriously. I missed getting up, eating oatmeal while checking email, showering and starting my day. I loved that everyday was different and that we experienced so many new things, but I craved…

Smells like cupcakes. Hopefully you have seen enough big Europe mosaics. I created those by uploading my photos to flickr and then using a mosaic maker application. Very simple. Very fantastic. And flickr is awesome. So much to see there. I recommend listening to Ingrid Michaelson. Mostly because whenever I am online I have her…

Travel is fun. Stopping travel might be better. We are finally home after a horribly turbulent flight that caused me to spill my water on Mom, Dad to hand a barf bag to the kid next to him and half the plane to cry out. Not so fantastic. But Iowa was. We saw Stef get…

A date stamp I saw in an office supply store while we were wandering in Amsterdam. Combine that with a little Staz-on and I do not think we will have to use fire pokers to brand cattle anymore.
