So, back in January I answered 48 Questions about myself in the spirit of Old School Blogging. This month I have joined with Heather at Theta Mom and we are bringing back another meme for those of us who miss “the old days” of blogging. Do you remember when we used to pass these things around…
Things Overheard in my Swagger Wagon
There is really no need for any other form of entertainment in our van during short trips around town like to school or soccer practice or a dentist appointment. Not when you have awesome convos like these going on… “Mom, is God a ghost?” “No, bubs, he’s a spirit.” (after saying this I realized they are kinda…

My Little Spies
Last Friday afternoon the boys were in the living room playing on the Wii for a bit. I usually let them play some after a long week at school. But around 4:30 I hollered from the kitchen into the living room and told them it was time for our walk. From B: “Okay, let’s go….
Nature and Ice Cream
Since it finally stopped raining around here (I know, I know, I’m like a broken record), we’ve been getting outside, thank God! Yesterday I went for a 2.5 mile run in the park and it was heaven.

A Regular Afternoon (and family pictures)
I just made a pot of chili and it simmers on the stove. On the L-shaped couch sits a huge plastic Sam-sized container of animal crackers, the lid nowhere to be found. Along with my two boys, a bowl of popcorn, one (empty, thank goodness) plastic cup, a pillow, a remote control, a stuffed teddy…
A Lesson in Clothes Buying (for your kids)

Christmas Cheer is Here!
I was feeling a tad “Scrooge-ish” last week. Don’t know why exactly. Maybe because my husband was working practically non-stop and my holiday shopping duties were not anywhere NEAR done. Oh and also? I didn’t feel like my mantle was quite done, so to remedy ALL these feelings, I looked to retail therapy. I’m here…
