I put over 1200 miles on my mom van last week. The purpose of the first leg of the trip was to pick up the oldest at camp. The rest of the trip was full of friends and family. And water. LOTS of water. Road trips are second nature for me now. I’ve been driving…
Summer Happy! (+ $110 to Target!)
Our Summer is flying by! Ooh look it’s already July. How’d that happen? Thankfully, we’ve had some fun and I have not heard “I’m bored” too many times to count. Okay, maybe I’ve just ignored it a few lots of times… Anywho, yes, we’ve done some stuff, maybe not everything I listed here (yet) but…
Sum-sum-summa Time!
I can already see the syrupy popsicle, dripping down my middle child’s chin. I can see my little girl’s goggled-face smile as she comes up from under the water and my oldest’s feet coming before him on the slide at the pool. His BIG feet. My kids are stoked for summer, as am I. Last year I…
It’s My Party and I’ll Skate If I Want To…
A few months ago I was at dinner with some girlfriends and I asked them to start brainstorming with me about what I could do for my 40th birthday. I wanted to have a fun party that would take me back to my youth and make us all feel a just a tad younger for a…
Wild Kratts – On the Screen and Living at My House
The other day I suggested the kids cue up something on Netflix, as they needed a little down time and well, so did I. I had heard about a show called “Wild Kratts” and so I searched and found a ton of episodes. I knew it was something educational but I had no idea it was…
Halloween, Twenty Fourteen!
This Halloween included a photo shoot along with Mummy dogs and of course, Trick-or-Treating! This mural is on a game/comic book store not too far from our house and the boys were especially “game” (ha! I crack myself up!) to take their picture in front of it. After that we hung out in our…
So, How Was BlogHer?
It was pretty good, I have to say. Many of my friends were there and the sessions I went to (3) were quite good. Especially the session within in a session with Cheryl Dumesnil where we talked about creative writing, and she used poems as examples. That was really great! And I loved the small…
We were not expecting you…
Old Man Winter found his way to South Louisiana, which I can tell you right now, from my four winters here, does not usually happen. Earlier this week he took a wrong turn somewhere and ended up in the swamp. Maybe he was craving gumbo… Anyway, he brought with him freezing temps typicllay unknown around these parts…
Everybody Loves a Mardi Gras Parade
Mardi Gras is over and tomorrow Lent begins (or today, depending on when you read this…) The festivities of the last week and a half produced more beads than our household could handle so we already have a bag full, ready to be donated. Our last parade was a warm one since we spent it…
This or That
Back in May I met Deb at a little, local blogger get-together. She’s a really sweet and fun-loving person and she takes amazing photographs. I was SO excited to see that she started this carnival called This or That Thursday some weeks ago, and knew that I would love to link up. Not only does…
