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…
Fall-ish Fun
A few years ago I posted pictures of my kids at the “pumpkin patch” (a.k.a. the local Methodist church that uses their land to host games and treats and imported pumpkins) and the cuteness was overwhelming. (Warning: if you click on that link above, your uterus – if you have one – will twitch). I…
The Yogurt Shop Shuffle
While the hubster was out of town at a bachelor party in Vegas a few weeks ago… (yes, I AM THE best wife EVER for letting him go) (and YES, he keeps using that line “what happens in Vegas…”) blah, blah, blah… Wait, what was I talking about? OH yeah… I took the kids for…
Just Playin’
I have this very vivid memory of myself while playing in the house where I grew up. The same house my parents still live in actually. I am tromping down the green, shag-carpeted hallway in a dress, on the way to my bedroom at the end of the line. All the way pushing my toy…
Snack Attack! Green Giant Veggie Chips
My boys, especially the nine-year old, are getting to the point where they can put away some food! And when I pick them up from school in the afternoon’s they are SO hungry that they break out the drama and act like there is no way they will make it home before perishing since I…
A picture, a thousand words, you know the saying
I mean seriously people. This kid. She picked out everything she is wearing herself. I take NO credit. And as I took this photo she said to me “Put your hands up, Mama!!” Can I put my bathing suit on first, please? She had a bow in her hair for a bit (thatdidnotmatchanything), to keep…
#AD Be a Hunger Hero with Tyson & Sam’s Club!
I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and their client. I recently decided that some evenings around here are going to be “easy” dinner nights (plus with school and all the extra activities starting it…
I Did Not Want to Leave…
I have so much to show and tell about our trip to Canada and right now I am still processing it all. I guess I could start with the people we spent time with, that mean SO very much to me. Just as I type that I begin to tear up because I love them…
Summer Scratching
I am going to admit right here, right now that not setting my phone alarm for 6:45 every morning has been glorious. Summer is awesome for that. Did you know that I am not much of a morning person? Ask Tim, he’ll tell you. With fervor. 😉 He seems to be a morning AND night…
MJ and old Things (including me)
I recently found a new radio station and they play a lot of good “old” music, you know like Michael Jackson, circa 1984. One morning the kids and I were driving somewhere when “Wanna be Startin’ Somethin’” came on the radio and I cranked it up and started car dancing and then talked about how…
