When my alarm went off this (Thursday) morning I thought a police siren woke me up. That’s how out of it I was. SO tired. For a specific reason that I am sure once a month many of you can relate to. Anywho. I got up and made the kids breakfast (popped frozen things in…
iPieces – Review & Giveaway
While at BlogHer this year I came across a booth in the expo with these fun little pieces that work with games on the iPad, called iPieces. Basically you turn your iPad into an interactive game board. I thought that was SO cool! The kids and I got pretty excited when our own pieces showed up…
LIfe in an iPhone
Once again, I am thankful for the little moments in my life that I can capture with my phone. My big camera has been reserved for photo shoots lately (I do ADORE my little side job!) so it seems that my kids and other life stuff gets recorded on my phone instead. So here’s my…
I wish she would have stayed
Tim came into the room with me and helped me get undressed. Of course, he is always willing to do that. Only this time it was for a different reason than usual. I was about to give birth to our baby. It was our second baby boy’s birthday and I was both excited, full of…
There’s a little fashionista in me…
Have I ever mentioned that my major in college was Fashion Merchandising? Yeah, I barely remember too. I have always loved clothes and from a pretty young age. My mother used to take me shopping at the mall quite often after she got her bi-weekly paycheck from her part time job. She trained me well….
Park It!
The last people we saw on our travels for the Thanksgiving holidays were my brother, Larry and his family. They were in Houston visiting my SIL’s family so we met up at Discovery Green and the kids ran around like wild banshees. It’s a really neat park right in the middle of downtown Houston. There were…
Bloggity Blog Blog Blog
I started blogging at the end of November 2006. I had a friend at church who had a blog and I was intrigued and thought it would be fun to keep family and friends updated on our growing family, via the internet. So, one Fall afternoon I sat in our driveway while little Ben played…
So many animals (and kids!), yet so little time…
As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, one of the highlights of our Thanksgiving travels was meeting up with my cousin and her family. We decided to meet at the San Antonio zoo on Friday and it turned out to be a perfect day for it. It was a tad crowded but manageable. She has 6…
Is it Pehcahn or PeeCan?
Thanksgiving week was… good. But. Tiring. We were on the road A LOT. We ended up circling South Texas when it was all said and done. We stayed with friends in Houston the first night – B’s “bestie” that moved there back in August. The kids had a great time not going to bed until…
My Life in Numbers
I got this great idea from Greta at G*funk*ified and I thought I would put some of my numbers our there too and link up! Thanks Greta! 🙂 5 – the number of dogs we had over the years while I was growing up 1 – the number of dogs that were “mine” and that…
