Do you remember how we used to talk about other blogs we loved a lot, back in the day? I do. I even gave this out (and received it as well) to a few friends many moons ago… Ain’t it cute? I think back fondly on the days when we would spread the love and…
Princess Party
A couple of months ago I handed K the Oriental Trading catalog that happened to come in the mail and told her to pick a theme for her birthday party. I did this with an almost-four-year old little girl. It was pretty fun to watch her page through it and say “Oooh, I want this!!”…
F.O.U.R.
“Mama! Did you know that I am a Princess?” “Why yes, baby, I did know that!” “See my pretty skirt?! Look, I can twirl!” “I see that! So lovely!” “I love being a Princess, Mama!” “I know you do baby. And you’re such a pretty one at that…” This is a typical conversation between me…
“There’s life after children.”
My first thought? “But there’s life during children too.” I was at the car dealership getting my oil changed. I did not have any of my kids with me because it was a Monday morning and they were all at school. I planned it that way. The car dealership is boring for me so I…
Friends in Beach Places
I dug my feet into the sand this past weekend. It felt so damn good. There really is no other feeling like that in the world. To sit at the edge of the ocean, watching all of that water right in front of you, over and over again, listening to the crashes. Yet there you…
Staples Arc Organizing System {Giveaway}
I had a small panic attack the other day because I was trying to decide what to do first. I have a lot of “To Do”s. Don’t you? I like to make lists and write things down and I had started to put everything in my phone and all these alerts were going off and…
The Yogurt Shop Shuffle
While the hubster was out of town at a bachelor party in Vegas a few weeks ago… (yes, I AM THE best wife EVER for letting him go) (and YES, he keeps using that line “what happens in Vegas…”) blah, blah, blah… Wait, what was I talking about? OH yeah… I took the kids for…
Randoms
You know how sometimes you just have one of THOSE weeks? Well, this has been one of THOSE weeks. Four out of five of us sick. Ups and downs galore. Missed school. Feeling like crap, feeling okay. Eating take out and convenience foods. No exercise. I need a REBOOT. Seriously. So, I’m just gonna post…
Just Playin’
I have this very vivid memory of myself while playing in the house where I grew up. The same house my parents still live in actually. I am tromping down the green, shag-carpeted hallway in a dress, on the way to my bedroom at the end of the line. All the way pushing my toy…
Sing Out
One of the things I love to do is sing. It is not something that I talk about here very often, but it is a passion of mine. And I am not talking about just singing in the shower or singing in the van or singing in the rain (although I love doing all of those…
