Naptime Gone Bad
Pin itWhoever said “Silence is golden”… never knew a 3 year old who was supposed to be taking a nap. Above: The “Silencers” Below: Only part of Silent Non-napper’s artistic creation If one looks closely – one can see little chunkies on those sweet fingers. “Chunky what?” Nearly an entire jumbo tube of glue stick. [...]
Confession: I Don't Sew
Pin itI use this: I have sewn… There was the awful 4-H-green and white dress I made when I was 10ish (for 4-H)… And there was that one stress-filled week before Halloween of ’02 where I made my 3-year-old son an astronaut suit. Like he cared. He won’t remember my pain, but I do… I [...]
It's 2008! Get Yer Vote On
Pin itHa! You thought I was gettin’ all political! Nu-uh. I mean, I do believe we should vote. Voting = good. Me gettin’ all political = not so much. This is a call-out (YO!) for votes for a friend of ours (the hubs and mine). I’ve posted about this here feller before. His name is [...]
Room Rules
Pin it Moms, do you ever find yourself mindlessly filling the role as “Mom”. Let me explain. I find I will answer “no” just because it is “what I do”. I wonder how much of my mothering happens while I am on “autopilot”. I suspect the mom my kids get is more “autopilot” than the [...]
My favorite part of today
Pin itwas when I dropped a brand new tube of toothpaste in the toilet. Good times. Another favorite party of today was… You know. I’m feeling creative. May I compose a poem? “A Favorite Part of Today” A favorite part of today was when my orthodontist closed the office for a very long staff meeting [...]
All Full
Pin it8 years and 3 children have filled our tree. Year after year, I have tried to make our Christmas tree the “charming” that my style longs for it to be. I give. This year there is no room for me. Who lost the memo that reminds everyone that everything is all about ME? My [...]
A Holiday Idea Post
Pin itGranted, this post would have ideally been post-ed weeks earlier, ya know – when responsible gift-givers are making (and marking off) their lists and checking them twice… BUT I neither known for being timely nor “boy-scoutly” in the preparedness department. Anywho, the following are items that I think rock, none of which I am [...]
The Big Cupcake
Pin itCupcakes are awesome. They come in individual sizes, are easy to decorate, they make people happy, and can really make a grand centerpiece when piled high on tiered cake stands… I consider myself a cupcake pirate (searching for my cupcake booty/bounty) when I wear my 2 plaid versions of these stylish t’s… But why [...]
Hostess Snack Cake Sushi
Pin itWhile neglecting the home education of my son (in my defense, I was researching cheap, yet charming cafe’ curtains…) I found Not Martha. Somehow, I stumbled upon the “Hostess Snack Cake Sushi” page. Now, this is the kind of sushi one might catch me digging into… you gotta love faux food! Not Martha gives [...]
Still Scrappin'
Pin itRockin’ out to 80′s music, a little disco, 3 bottles of Perrier down, one latte, 3 pages done, many digital pics organized, lots of laughter… Katie and I were joined by my friend Sara for our “long run” this morning. We needed to get in 9 miles, but with the breakfast schedule and lack [...]
