…but NEVER are: 1. Finding shoes & socks for the kids. And then keeping said socks & shoes on said kids. Why, why, why are shoes & especially socks so difficult to keep up with??? 2. Getting Lboy’s lunch ready for school. Lboy has one extended day at school where he eats lunch. Every time […]
Our Favorite Books
We read a lot around here. A LOT. O will bring Todd or me a book in the most adorable way possible & then will plop herself in our lap, say “Thanks” & then sits there waiting for us to read her a book. How do you say no to that? You don’t, that’s how. If […]
10 Ways to Make Blogging Great
1. Carry a notebook with you. Or carry whatever you use to jot down ideas. I get my best ideas for writing when I’m driving, about to go to bed or in the shower. I’m also a sucker for a new notebook & pen, so it’s definitely something I keep around. I do not like […]
What have you done in 4 years?
I started this blog in March of 2010. TWO THOUSAND AND TEN! I can’t believe it. In Four Years I have:Â Celebrated Wedding Anniversaries. Watched my baby become a toddler & then become a “big kid.” Had another baby. Asked why they have to grow up so fast??? Suffered loss. Loved my husband more. Gone […]
7 Things I Overheard
1. “I can snoot louder than you can!” Snoot is a made up word by Lboy for passing gas. No idea where he got it. But when he was about 2, he just said it one day & it is now used on a daily basis. He thinks the word & the act are hysterical. […]
Beauty in the not so Beautiful
Such an idealistic image of what motherhood is….. and motherhood definitely has moments of looking like this. Yesterday was not that day for us. My youngest, O, was running a fever. Wouldn’t eat. Wouldn’t drink anything. She had to be carried everywhere, refused to walk. The only thing that made her remotely happy was throwing […]

My Birthday Month
This year, December snuck up on me. We are selling a house, driving Lboy back & forth to preschool (which was not a long term something we thought we would be doing), did I mention we are selling a house?! And even though it’s December 12 & I’m still not fully convinced that it’s December […]
Let’s Keep Some Perspective People
I have a gripe. A major holiday gripe. I think that it’s absolutely ridiculous that I hear more people get honked at or see more people flipped off in the month of December than any other time of year. The flipping off & the honking is all being done by someone who has been shopping […]
