Every night I lie down with Katie in her bed, as she settles in for sleep. We read a book or two {she loves Goodnight Gorilla and Birthday Monsters}, say prayers and then we always sing at least one round of Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star. And she sings it with gusto, let me tell you. The…
Living la vida Louisiana & MEM
This week marks our three year anniversary of moving to Louisiana. Just the other day I was having memories of me and my pregnant belly driving down 49, with my two little boys and a hamster cage in the back of Tim’s Acura and my MIL in the passenger’s seat, helping to entertain us all. I can…
My Husband
I sat at the kitchen table this morning with my eggs and coffee and clicked on the ole Facebook to see a couple of updates. I clicked on my own profile and saw the photo I recently uploaded of Tim and I on vacation and for some reason, just looking at our faces, next to…
In which I get depressed about having TOO much food to eat. File under 1st world problems.
This morning I stepped on the scale and the number 165 showed up. ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-FIVE POUNDS. There was no wishing it away or making it change or stepping off and stepping on again and having it be different. It WAS what it was. And then I cried. I cried because at one point…
You need some Fresh Produce!
I have this thing about clothes. They need to be comfortable AND fashionable. Gone are the days where I want anything too tight or too funky that it makes me look silly. But, I also do not plan on becoming Mrs. Frumpy Frumperson any time soon (or ever). When I got an email from Fresh…
Things were going along fine…
I thought you all might like to hear K’s voice and so I asked her a few questions about our Summer so far. She likes to talk a lot so I figured a little interview would be good. And it was…until the end. Well, you can see for yourself. She IS cute. Even when she…
Time together & MEM
I was alone for a couple of hours today and what did I do…? Tim took the boys and a friend to see Madagascar 3 and K was napping at the same time so I had a little time to myself. Time to start one load of laundry and check people’s FB posts and start…
2 years ago…
Some people think I take too many pictures. Perhaps “some people” are my husband or the lady who looked at me funny while on vacation a couple of weeks ago, taking a photo of my daiquiri. What? It was GOOOD. But I truly believe that photos give us a glimpse back in time that our minds…
Tips for Road Trips
So, you’ve seen the pictures, and the playing in the sand and surf and the happy smiles by the ocean but you know it took about 8 hours to get to the beach and 9 to get home the next weekend right? Yeah, unfortunately it was raining almost the entire way and there were several…
Our Own Photoshoot
The last night we were in Florida it was threatening to storm, which would of course be the same night we had planned to do photos on the beach. Of course. (I know I already said that). About the time we were getting ready it was literally pouring. And then? By the time we drove…
