I grabbed my camera the other morning after sitting on the back porch with my coffee. K came through the door to join me and I noticed how beautiful her eyes shone in the morning light as she approached me. I couldn’t resist taking her picture for the bajillionth time. At one point I switched…
If at first you don’t succeed…
We were outside the other day, blowing bubbles and making chalk drawings (see previous post) and I had the idea to try to do one of THOSE pics. You know like the ones where someone draws a scene with the chalk and then puts a kid in it? Yeah, that. And I just want to…
Sometimes, it’s just as hard as it looks…
Summer is almost here and I have mixed feelings. On the one hand I am happy to have a break from making lunches every morning and getting kids to school by a certain time, but on the other hand, I will miss the routine. I am most happy to not to have to help with…
The Bob
On Saturday afternoon she looked like this: And then by Sunday afternoon (and Tuesday morning, second photo) she looked like this: She never leaves anything in her hair (that headband only lasted a little bit) and after the “self cut” she gave herself last month that is taking FOREVER to grow back out, I figured…
“The Bronx is up and the Battery’s down…”
I was looking at the photos in my Instagram feed early Sunday morning before getting the kids ready for church. As my finger scrolled through, occasionally hitting “like” and making a comment here or there I came across a photo of the New York City skyline and my finger immediately went to “like” it. I…
Lego Bounce Party & MEM
We officially celebrated Little G’s birthday this weekend at the local bouncy place. He wanted a Lego party so I obliged. As per last week’s post on less stress, I kept things pretty simple and we had a good amount of kids. I did make the cupcakes from scratch and I decorated the treat bags…
I Would Have TOTALLY dated Jake Ryan…
In high school I was ALL about the rollers for dances. And by “rollers” I mean hair rollers. I loved to have my hair CUR. LEE. And during my senior year there was some drama as to who I wound up accompanying me to my Senior Homecoming dance. I won’t get into all the details…
“Vintage” Toys
A while ago my Mom gave me some old toys out of “my” closet – you know the one that is in her house that is part of the room I grew up in until I was 18… yeah that closet. The box she gave me while threatening to toss it included my little kitchen…
Happy 5th to my 2nd!
I found out I was pregnant with Little G while we were on vacation in Florida in early September of 2006. Tim says he knew I was pregnant a few weeks earlier when we went to see my nephew who was born very premature. I was acting a tad erratic (a.k.a b!tchy) and emotional. Don’t…
A Pretty Great Day & MEM
I slept in a bit. I had coffee brought to me and breakfast made for me. I did a load of laundry and some dishes. I laid with the toddler while she fell asleep for her nap. I sat in the church cry room for a bit with the same squirmy, loud (but still cute)…
