It seems as if Christmas cannot come soon enough for my kids. Last night Tim and I stayed up to finally wrap several gifts and when the children awoke in the morning and saw them under the tree they about lost it. And wanted it to be Christmas Eve TODAY. Now. This minute. It is…
Old School Blogging – Holiday Edition!
My wonderful writer friend, Kir from The Kir Corner is hosting Old School Blogging with me this month! She came up with these super fun questions and I am so excited to have her here!! If you do not know her (but who doesn’t??) then you must get over to her place and READ. She…
Having a Moment While in Big Lots
It is always at this time of the year when I get extremely nostalgic, sentimental and extra appreciative for this life of mine. I assume that is the case for many but of course I only know the extent of it for myself. Last week one morning I was in Big Lots buying additional…
Thanksgiving Snapshots
I am just about coming out of my carb coma from this long weekend full of pie and well, CARBS. Sooo many carbs, my friends. I think that small dollop of green been casserole I plopped on my plate totally cancelled them out though, don’t you? Absolutely not. Our trip over the river and through…
For some reason this one did not make the cut.
I am ahead of the game this year and already have our Christmas cards ordered. I know, I rock. 😉 A couple of weekends ago we set up the tripod at the “old horse farm” that is next door to our neighborhood. It was land that the local university used in days past for well,…
Halloween 2013 (because it rhymes…)
On the first day of October B asked about Halloween and brought up the fact that he wanted to be a zombie. I grimaced to myself since I am not much for zombies or scary stuff. But the practical side of me did not protest too much since I figured that would just take some…
You Be the Judge (a mini vlog included)

Blessings
Sometimes when I look at my life I wonder how things fell into place so easily. I say, “easily”…. Because even though life is not perfect around here or well, anywhere that I know of, mine has been full of people who love and care for me since day one. It is hard to believe…
It’s All Good
We ventured out to our little, local zoo today for some Easter-y fun. They host an event with a cute little egg hunt and photos with the Easter Bunny and music, etc. Essentially the kids help pick up recycled eggs and then trade them in for chocolate. It’s a pretty good system, actually. We rode…
Holiday Rewind
Are ya totally over Christmas by now? Well, then you better click away. (please don’t) I took a break from the blog during the holiday but that means that I got a tad behind on posting some pics that I wanted to share and record for posterity – you know, the main reason I have…
