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 […]
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. […]
Oksana Baiul & Grounded
I don’t remember how old I was, 5th grade maybe? And it was a Wednesday. Mechanical pencils were the “it” thing in school. And I had/have a school supply obsession. I had this awesome pencil that I still drool over (nerd much?!) I came out of class one day I told my mom that I needed […]
Explore.
Explore. New. Discovery. Learning. Finding a new me. Finding a new lifestyle? Reading. Researching. More reading. Thinking. Is it for me? More researching. On a journey. But it’s mine. All the ups & even the downs. I’m just exploring. 1.) Explore. (inspired by Farewell Stranger) 2.) Release. (inspired by Courtney Kirkland) 3.) Trust. (inspired by […]
Photos from 8 Years Ago
I don’t have any pictures of me from 10 years ago, but here are some pics of me from 8 years ago…close enough right? (I also had to steal some of these pictures off of my friend’s Facebook because she’s a queen of making sure we take pictures!) THEN: NOW: I don’t think I’ve changed […]
The Mullet Dress: Don’t Do It
This year’s trend that is driving me nuts is what I like to call the Mullet Dress. It’s the dress that can’t decide if it wants to be long or if it wants to be short. I swear the person who started the trend was a woman who couldn’t make up her mind if they wanted […]
Mom Shaming
She still sleeps in a pack n’play in our room…aka…she wakes up at 3 or 4 in the morning & ends up in bed with us. Hey, she’s the 2nd child, everything comes slower for the 2nd one. And I didn’t notice it until 7 at night… and at that point I didn’t even change […]
5 Things that Bring Me Comfort
1. My pillow. We bought two matching pillows with wedding money. They are divine. And um…Todd may or may not get to sleep with his anymore. He may or may not have had it taken away from him so that his diva wife can sleep with both of them. *shameless grin here* 2. Reading at night before […]
A Spoonful of Nutella
If Lboy were to choose what we would eat every day, it would be: For breakfast, it would be, a spoonful of Nutella (or Ba-rella as he says it). For lunch it would be, Grandma Byrd Cookies (my great-grandmother’s no bake peanut butter cookies.) And for supper (as we call it in the south, not […]
It’s Been A While
We were sick. Then we were getting a big gift ready for my dad’s birthday & took a week to get it put together. Went to visit family for dad & aunt’s birthday. Went to the farm. Tractor rides, golf cart & pick up truck rides, cows, bayous, endless fields & tire swings= Every kids’ […]
