VERTICALLY CHALLENGED: we ran away...
http://mare-z.blogspot.com/2014/09/we-ran-away.html
Thursday, September 18, 2014. Lake placid, ny 2014. It was my 50th birthday, and our 13th anniversary weekend. we hadn't been away without the kiddos for about two years. i just couldn't let another year go by without snatching my dearest love away (even though he was secretly planning a bash for my birthday). We missed our boys, but chatted with them frequently. i think it was good for them to spend time away from us as well. absence makes the heart grow fonder? Our room with a view. Due to nice weather.

VERTICALLY CHALLENGED: the rest of the story...
http://mare-z.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-rest-of-story.html
Wednesday, May 27, 2015. The rest of the story. So for four years, i wore a back brace. something that looked very similar to this one. I had to wear a thin t-shirt underneath so it wouldn't rub on my skin. i didn't have any long enough, so i remember my mom cut off the sleeves and neck of my dad's t-shirts. my clothes barely fit over the brace. the only thing that showed when i was dressed was the neck piece. When i returned to school, i got many stares. a few kids would step aside and whisper. ...I kep...

Thursday, December 25, 2014. Just the most blessed Christmas yet. Christmas eve was most special with a. 5pm church service that rocked God's house! Then it was off to grandma Jill's house for some. Dinner and present exchange. The McMonkeys had to open their grammy jammies first! Grandma actually said the pre-meal prayer and touched. All of our hearts. And big hugs all around for grandma! Check back in a few days when i have more time. Upload more pics and possibly. Blog about our year in review! Being ...

A walk in the park. Sharing the experience of hiking the 46 highest peaks of the adirondacks and any other revelations that might happen along the way. June 1, 2012. Sleeping at the summit.

We packed up and started down the mountain at 6:30am.a 12 hour adventure. June 2, 2012 at 7:19 AM. What a great experience! Adirond...

A walk in the park. Sharing the experience of hiking the 46 highest peaks of the adirondacks and any other revelations that might happen along the way. July 27, 2009. Ridgeview Dairy Farm in Argyle, New York. Hesitate to let us know that they had to get back to their work.because chores need to be done before the 4:30pm milking time. The farmer moves down the line of 65 cows milking each of them individually. Chickens and some baby chicks. Reagan was surely impressed by the vastness of owning the land an...

VERTICALLY CHALLENGED: have heart...
http://mare-z.blogspot.com/2015/01/have-heart.html
Monday, January 5, 2015. Today marked the first monday of the year. the day that the mcmonkeys returned to school, the handsome hubby returned to work, and the first day alone for me after spending the last two full weeks together. You know, that 'noise' that's around your home when you have littles at home with you. Which brings me to the one word that i've chosen to bring me through this new year. Heart = the wellspring of life. For me, the heart is where all life and love begins. My Life With Boys.

VERTICALLY CHALLENGED: when your child doesn't fit in...
http://mare-z.blogspot.com/2012/05/when-your-child-doesnt-fit-in.html
Thursday, May 3, 2012. When your child doesn't fit in. This is a subject near and dear to my heart. My nine year old son came home from school last week very downcast and solemn. When I prodded him to tell me what was wrong, he admitted that a group of boys at school didn't think he was " cool. I'm not cool,' he said. I asked him what makes boys cool. He said that he wasn't fast enough and the boys never picked him to be on their team during recess. Be cool in my book. Below is a blog post. Because we ar...

Saturday, April 7, 2012. April goals, Easter goodness and spring. Here we are one full week into april. i was so spoiled by that nice weather we had last month. I am wishing for the warmth to return. my spring flowers are wanting to come out. Cannot wait to celebrate the Risen Christ! So blessed to have Hank home with us so we can celebrate as a family. I wasn't going to do the bunny and egg thing this year, but as I thought about it, I decided to do just a little. And I just had to get one of these.
