I used to think about what “kind” of father Tim would be before we had children. I used to wonder how he would react to certain situations or how well he would bond with them. Yes, us women just do things like that. Of course there was never any reason for concern because he’s a…
An Awesome Reunion
I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day. Ours was pretty good. Tim made some of his famous barbeque (well it’s famous with our family and close friends anyway…) and we hung out playing the Wii and well, eating… My friend Claudia made some fantastic banana pudding and I want to thank her for leaving…
Easter, in an Eggshell
We had a lovely Easter weekend that included wonderful home-cooked meals, family, chocolate, cupcakes, egg hunting, churchin’ and well, rain. When I woke up around 5 a.m. to hear the torrentual down-pour on my windows I just knew there would be nary an outdoor egg hunt for us Sunday. But I was wrong. The sun…
Easter Wishes
Just a quick note to put Easter wishes out there to everyone. I have much baking and egg coloring to assist with (see my bosses below). But seriously, in the wake of the passing of Maddie Spohr, my heart is heavy and I find myself just wanting to be close to these little guys and…
WW – A Season of Forgiveness
The weather here in Texas can be so bipolar at this time of the year. One minute you’re wearing a sweater and jeans while the temps are dipping into the ’40s and the next day you’re taking the kids to the park and sweating. It’s truly crazy. I strolled outside on one of the warmer…

Weekly Winners 2/15
Februray 8 – February 14 Tim and I enjoyed the afternoon together (just the two of us) for Valentine’s Day. We went to the Dallas Museum of Art to see the exhibit on King Tut. It was amazing. We saw artifacts that are around 3400 years old. Amazing, beautiful, gold, wood and glass – spectacular…
Signs of Valentine’s
I started making these cookies several years ago when I found the original recipe in a February issue of Martha’s main mag, Living. I made them every year and then I had kids. Now it’s sporadic. But this year I was in the mood and I’ve since found a sugar cookie recipe that is SO…
Not Me Monday, 4th Edition
Monday has come back to bite me again. This time the sting is a little worse since my man will be out of town ALL week. UGH! Oh well, let’s help numb the pain a little by “Not Me”ing along with Mckmama, mkay? I did NOT rejoice when I got to sleep in a few…
WW – Say “Cheese!”
As a parent nowadays it seems as if we are in constant pursuit of the perfect picture of our kids. Or, our kids with someone else’s kids or well, even just someone else’s kids. At times it can be a pain-staking quest. But honeslty, most of the time… it just cracks me up. Take THIS…
