It’s all personal
I'm Kim and I have a few blogs (and perhaps an issue with over sharing, and too much time on my hands). My other two projects are www.fiftyfiftyvision.com and www.thisisplanbe.com. I also tweet at https://twitter.com/TheKimTackett and instagram at http://instagram.com/kimtackett. But here, it's all personal. I show up once a week, sometimes less, never more. I don't have a niche or a purpose or a plan. Just a few stories and pictures. Welcome to my personal space.I write about stuff

tale of two weekends
Steve and I had two different weekends. He drove up to Corvallis to have a Father-Son weekend with daughter Alex…that would be baseball, hiking, golf and softball (where he got to play first base on her intramural team, and is … Continue reading
blue skies, all day
It was a weekend in Tahoe with no snow, but blue skies forever. No kids along, but so many family memories following us. We stayed at Steve’s Aunt Pat’s cabin, for the first time without Kate and Alex. Some sad … Continue reading
twenty six
This is my daughter Kate. She is 26 today. That’s the tipping point for adulthood. Yeah, I can’t believe it either. We have always described her as the mature one in the family, so I shouldn’t be surprised. She’s lived … Continue reading

cousinapalooza 2012
We’ve been on the road for a week, celebrating and cousining. We had Christmas at my parent’s house, for the first time in 23 years (the last time Kate was 9 months old, and since then Santa has always come … Continue reading
we went for the harvest and picked up a few…cousins
I love cousin-ships. I adore my cousins, and Steve’s were a bonus gift when we married. But I have a few I don’t really know. To be fair, they are the (grown) children of my mom’s cousin, David, and they … Continue reading
how does a family of three pile up so many dishes so quickly?
Yup, that’s all I have for you today. I tell you, one misstep with the dishwasher, one skipped cycle and there they are, dishes and cups and wine glasses and coffee mugs and pots and pans, all queued up with … Continue reading
morning routine
At 6 a.m. the alarms start buzzing. First mine, then his. Eventually one of us gets up to start the coffee. Hopefully one of us comes back to bed. At 6:30, we hear her rustling upstairs. One of us rises … Continue reading
and this is where she sat in the clouds
