Today I am 37 years old. What a strange number, right? Totally not divisible by anything. That has always bugged me about any number, frankly. No idea why. I just do not like odd numbers in general, even though I was born in an odd-numbered year. And getting older means that you tend to ramble…
A new bed for you and you and YOU! / MEM
We’ve been rearranging around here since Tim and I sprung for a king-sized bed and had it delivered a week ago. ZOMG, it’s friggin’ huge. And comfortable. And came with a remote or two. Thankfully our queen bed was able to go in the boys’ room and now one of them is sleeping on a…
This mother of three should really know by now that 2 year-olds don’t stand still, right?
Taking photos of kids is pretty hard. Especially when it is your own and especially when they are not too keen on listening to you and just want to do their own thing. BUT, you chose that moment in time to try to take their photo so you just snap away and do the best…
Three on the Fourth
I never publish a post this late in the day but I got out of bed this a.m. at 6:05 to go to the gym and I’ve hardly stopped since. Well besides the fairly relaxing hair appointment I had this morning in which my stylist massaged my neck during the shampoo and it took her .053 seconds…
My First (and only?) Half Marathon – Dallas White Rock 2011
I am not really sure where to start with this post because I have so much in my head to write about my experience last weekend. First of all, I rode to and from Dallas with some of the best women on the planet. They supported me, prayed with me, laughed with me and helped…
12 Years Since We Said “I Will”
It used to be the crazy busy nights of getting ready to go out with friends or just to dinner. Sometimes we traveled back to my college town or thereabouts to meet friends. Many times to the Big D, places with a wall full of beers on tap and pool tables filling one room. Sofas…
She’ll thank me later. Or something like that.
So, I decided yesterday morning that the paci has to go. Except for when she sleeps. Baby steps. That means K has been sporting this face quite a bit, usually with tears included. Though I’m happy that I can see her cute little mouth now, in all the photos I take. But today was REALLY…
Longest Birthday Party Post EVAH! (K’s Party Pics!)
Katie’s birthday party went really well and was so fun! It turned out just like I wanted it to (except for, perhaps, the runny cake frosting but it was still extremely delicious so I consider that a success…). I knew I wanted to do an ice cream themed party and on a whim I called…
OhMyGoodness, TWO!
As of tomorrow, Baby K will be 2. I have a little party planned at the local ice cream parlor and I’m so excited for the sundaes and smiles and fun and the cuteness that is sure to ensue. But of course I’m also reflective on the last last two years and how my baby…
Two, Tutu Soon
On Saturday, she’ll be two. I’m trying to soak up the last few days of her being “one”. This morning she ran around in a tutu that I tied around her waist, over her pajamas. She smiled and giggled when I was done putting it on her. We went to the kitchen after and got…
