To me, summertime means going to special places and doing extra special things. Like hanging out at LegoLand, for instance. The boys and I had a fabulous time with our friends (K hung out with Tim’s mom while we went), even though we had to wait a bit to get in (God bless the genius…
Let’s Hear it for the Boys – i heart faces
Trains, “boy” hair cuts, a skinned knee and sweat socks. I’d say it doesn’t get much more boyish than this… I just love the way my boys are working on the train track together in this picture. I just love THEM.
Holiday Magic – You Capture
I’ve always thought there was a little MAGIC in all things small. Like fairies and leprechauns and well, when I was a little girl, even barbie shoes. Yes I know, I’m weird. I had a “Littles” doll house that I got one Christmas (I don’t think they make Littles anymore and the “baby” of the…
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…
These Moments of Motherhood

You Capture – PLAY
On Tuesday it rained on and off all day. One hour the sun would be out and the next it would be dark, as the clouds rolled in again. I felt bad that the kids had been indoors all day.I suggested to the boys that they go out and play in the rain. The B…
The Food of My People
Do you ever wonder where you came from? I’m not talking about the big, HUGE Oh My Goodness, where did I COME FROM??? I’m talking about ancestry. I know all my ‘peeps’ originated in the Slovakian area of Europe, many from what is now called the Czech Republic. I know this because my parents told…
