… but only for a post. I’ve guest-posted at The Mother Load today. Erin was gracious enough to let be her guest today and I’m so very honored. She’s a wonderful writer and a native Louisianian and I can’t wait to hopefully meet her at the end of the month when she makes a visit!…
Outside – You Capture
I went and did a little shopping tonight. BY MYSELF. Did you catch that? I was ALONE. Now mind you, sometimes I like shopping with the family or even friends but tonight? I NEEDED some “me time”. Like soVERYbad. The last couple of late afternoons/evenings with the kids have been INSANE and I just needed…
Waiting for Santa and Dumb Mom’s Bright Smiles Holiday Photo Contest
We didn’t have to wait THAT long to see Santa Claus on Sunday. We got in line at 11:15 and Santa showed up around noon. While we waited for him to take his place at his “workshop” Tim took the kids to ride the carousel, they shared some cinnamon and sugar pretzel sticks from the…
Hey Santa!
Good, bad or indifferent, I don’t have a picture of my child/children with Santa Claus every year. For the first couple of years of The B Man’s life I guess it was just not that important to me/us. The first photo he has with Santa is pictured below. He was two and half. And, I…
Does it count as “vlog” if all you see is my arm and I’m just talking in the background?
While Tim and The B Man were off to the school book fair the other night I felt the need to record the smaller kids in the bath together. They are so cute. I know you won’t disagree. It’s actually physically impossible to do so. And please, watch the whole thing (or FF to the…
O Christmas Tree
I always LOVED helping decorate the tree when I was growing up. My parents have this awesome star tree topper that lights up and has an angel in the middle. I adore it because it’s a star AND an angel. I’m hoping my mother will “gift” it to me someday. For now, we have a…
SWEET – You Capture
Snickerdoodle anyone? I made these SWEET morsels late Tuesday night for a MOMS club meeting on Wednesday morning. Thanks to @poobou and @lovingmom2boys for the idea on twitter (I asked what cookie I could make with “regular” ingredients on the fly and they both answered with “snickerdoodles” within seconds of each other – I love…
You Should Have Seen the Party That Led Up to This – WW
I thought I heard a ruckus comin’ from the boys’ room the other night but I just shrugged it off. But THEN. In the morning I came to find this. Word on the street is that Jesse is quiet the harlot. Don’t let her distance in this shot fool you. I knew that girl was…
Breathless
Do you even just feel overwhelmed with all there is to get done? And then you feel overwhelmed by all the overwhelmed-ness? I hope I’m not the only one. Right now the thing that’s weighing on me most is Christmas shopping. I am not an early bird shopper and I used to LIKE to do…
14 Months of K
I’m in love with this little girl. I was the moment they gave her to me after her birth, 14 months ago yesterday, and I still am today. It’s hard to believe it’s been that long. But every morning as I go to get her and I lift her up to my chest and smell…
