Celebrate. Whenever Possible.

Celebrate. Whenever Possible. As often as possible!

Could someone PLEASE invent the kind of time machine that would AT LEAST slowdown time. I don’t have any idea how this would work, I leave that to the people who are smarter than me. But what I need is a way for years and months to slow the heck down so I can enjoy my kids, my friends and my family without feeling like it’s not enough. Is that too much to ask? And if it is, can we at least slow…

I'm Gonna Let Her Fly

I am not known for being adventurous. I like safe and cautious and spend most of my time safely on solid ground. But maybe if we found a way to fly (skydive style) without jumping out of a perfectly good airplane, you just might get me to try something new. AND IT DID.

Me. I did it. I tried something new, you guys.

We were invited out to iFLYthis summer and my family was JAZZED. I was excited.…

An Evening with Bogle

I come from a big family. When we’re all in the same place, we are a crazy force of familial nature. We are loud. We speak in movie quotes. We have jokes that only WE get. But we are loving and caring and if you’re in? YOU’RE IN. Whether you want to be or not. We are hard workers…we work well together. Mostly. When our sarcasm doesn’t get in the way. (It usually doesn’t.)

Back in June, Sarah and…

Let the Wild Rumpus Start

Every word I type seems ridiculous or not enough. I almost feel guilty about posting about anything fun (or funny) and the privilege I have to do so. 

It’s sometimes hard to remember that A Wild Rumpus is all about finding joy. Looking for the good and fun and wonderful. It’s all about being the weirdos we are and celebrating it. It’s hard to remember that we knew there would be hard times in the…

Kid Friendly Super Bowl!

I love football. There are definitely aspects of the game and the NFL that are less than ideal, but the actual sport of football is so much fun to watch. I love the start of fall, football snacks…curling up with a blanket and a laptop (because that’s how I watch football) and enjoying the hell out of yelling at my TV. I love cheering on my favorite players (Go Saints!) even when my favorite…

Bullet Journal Then & Now

I have been talking about Bullet Journals A LOT this month.  Not just on this site and our YouTube… I mean, just in my life.  Everyone from friends to peers to total strangers.  I have a converts zeal about using the Bullet Journal.  It is not hyperbole when I say it changed my life.  Because it did!  Using a Bullet Journal has mad me more productive, more focused and more task orientated. If you…

Book Club 2017

Can I get a Better Late Than Neverhigh five please?  Sure we are almost done with January and the shortest month of the year is staring us in the face. (mocking us, probably.  Because February is SUCH a jerk!) Sure, we are basically living in The Hunger Games now.  So, really, we need book club more than ever.  I made a real big effort this year to pick cheerful, light-hearted reading.  Because…

Whole 30 Recipe Round Up

As I get to the close of my second week doing a Whole30, I have to say – I’m feeling pretty good!  This isn’t my first time attempting a Whole30, but it has been a while since I tried.  The most interesting thing about this is the feeling of familiarity.  It’s like putting on an old sweater you forgot you loved.  I won’t lie – the first couple days were ROUGH.  I thought I was getting the flu,…

A Whole Lotta Whole 30

Don't hate us...but Whole30 is happening AND IT'S ALL GONNA BE OK.

Hi my name is Jill (hi, Jill!) and I am addicted to carbs and sugar.

I love you, bread.

  Whatever. 

I’m sick of feeling like crap on cracker is what it really comes down to. And at the risk of this being a blog post full of complaints and a highlight of all my shortcomings, I’m SO. RUN. DOWN.

We’ve reached that magical point where something has to change.

So change it is.

And I have no idea how…

Bullet Journal 101: Monthly Spreads and Plan With Me January

Welcome back to our Bullet Journal 101 series!  This week Jill and I are sharing how we set up our monthly spreads with you!  As we’ve said a million times, the thing we love about using the Bullet Journal system is just how flexible it is.  You can truly set things up however you like.  There is no layout you must follow, no way things have to be done.  You decide!  It’s the best part about the…

Blackberry Pear Baked Brie & Blackberry Champagne Cocktail

Blackberry Pear Baked Brie & Blackberry Champagne Cocktail

In these final days of 2016 I have basically dedicated myself to eating as much cheese as humanly possible.  Jill and I are doing  a Whole 30 in January. (Don’t worry, she will be sharing her feelings about that with you soon.) Part of a Whole 30 is no cheese.  Which, why even going on living? But whatever.  We’re still going to do it. Because we really, really need to.

In the spirit of eating…

Bullet Journal 101 :: Bringing Joy to Your BuJo!

Sometimes making a to-do list is nothing short of drudgery.  There have been days when I opened my Bullet Journal and felt a wave of despair hit me. Mostly, because the amount of tasks set before me were well above what I was humanly capable to do.  There are only a few little things that make that feeling ebb away.  And by little things, of course I mean washi tape and stickers. Yes, the answer…
