You know what is important when wrapping gifts? Tape. And Scissors. Somehow during my marathon wrapping sessions I typically misplace one or both about 30 times or so. Of course they are always in the same place – underneath the large sheet of wrapping paper that I just unrolled from the roll. You know you’ve been there…
Rare Bird, A Book Review
I started reading Anna’s blog, An Inch of Gray, after her twelve-year old son Jack was lost in a freak flash flood. I was directed there by another blogger, I cannot remember who. It could have been from a tweet or a mention on their blog, the details are sketchy. I do however, remember the pain I…
So, How Was BlogHer?
It was pretty good, I have to say. Many of my friends were there and the sessions I went to (3) were quite good. Especially the session within in a session with Cheryl Dumesnil where we talked about creative writing, and she used poems as examples. That was really great! And I loved the small…
Oh, This Kid!
Last week was one of some major milestones for my middle child. He lost his second top tooth, taking his classic first-grader lisp to the next level – one of epic proportions, I must add. But even though I can’t always understand him that well right now, I don’t care because it’s so damn cute!…
You Be the Judge (a mini vlog included)
Have you even been told you look like someone? Maybe someone’s sister or aunt or even a celebrity? Well last week I had two people from COMPLETELY different parts of my life tell me I look like a woman in a cereal commercial. So of course I had to check this out because apparently this…
The “H” Word
You know how you have this idea to record your adorable kid(s) because they are just so “DANG CUTE” lately and so you run and get your phone to keep their latest milestone and super cuteness for posterity? And to post it on your blog for all of your twenty-ish readers to see?? Yeah, that…
Nap Talk (and a cutie-patootie video)
So, one of the last things my last baby has yet to outgrow is the NAP. K is quickly approaching 3 and half years old (shiz, how did THAT, happen!?!) and her brothers both stopped napping a little after 3 years old so this is kinda foreign to me. She’s still going pretty strong and…
Just because…
The rest of the title for this post should be “I feel like posting about this and that and the other”. But I thought that was really TOO long. Like the run-sentence of blog post titles, ya know? Yes, this post is going to be a bit all over the place. In the spirit of…
A Whole Bunch of Holiday Cheer!
I think we could all use a little cheer this year. I know, even for me, it’s a little harder after last week. My heart is still overwrought with heaviness. It will be for a while. And I know it is the same for most of us. But I also have to smile and exude…
I’m locking this one in his room until he is AT LEAST 25
Last night after dinner the kids and I were in the driveway waiting for Tim to get home from work. Out of the blue G started to tell me and I quote… “I love ALL the girls!!” “They are ALL beautiful and I want to marry them ALL!” This is not the first time I…
