Make We Laugh Monday – Wishing
Pin itChildren. A source of joy and laughter. Their untainted views give a refreshing perspective of life and weeds. Ahh… the dandelion. In the life of an adult landowner (me) there are few things that are less magical and wonderful than the dandelion that has gone to seed. Those “delightful” balls of fuzz are millions [...]
My Baby is Growing Up! Make Her Stop!
Pin itMy Lucy. This is not her birthday letter. I still have one more week before my baby turns 5 *gripping chest*. As hard as it has been to to been the mother of a baby, toddler and/or a preschooler over the past (nearly) 11 years… I am waving a reluctant goodbye. Lucy was born [...]
Good at Stirring and Removing Tags and Stuff
Pin itEither I need to expose my kids to more things, or I need to continue harboring them from certifiable Awesome. I think I am going try to keep them from society as much as possible because, right now… they think I am THE SHIZZLE! I love this about me them. For example, I was [...]
Lent, Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras and the Inquisition
Pin itI decided to give up giving up. What? Aaanywho. I took the kids to the grocery store with me because I love taking my kids into public spaces. Let’s face it, I am a self-punisher. It builds character, and MAN, have I earned my fair share of character in these 10+ years of mothering. [...]
I Think I'm Gonna Post About Valentine's Day
Pin itThe morning started early as my 7 year old climbed into bed, claiming she couldn’t sleep. I asked if she felt sick, she said, “No.” Heh. Read on…. Then my 4 year old, as she does most mornings.. popped-up her little head from the side of my bed and asked, “Can I snuggle you, [...]
People really like seeing skinny presidents up there…
Pin itI had a GREAT convo in the car with my kids recently. The boiled down version —> I am a skinny, fast runner. My kids are smart. We were talking about Martin Luther King Jr. Joel was pretty sure MLK would have been president, had he not been killed and all. His words. Aaanywho. [...]
Marker for Lipstick
Pin itAfter an hour of, “GO TO SLEEP. GET IN YOUR BED. QUIT PLAYING. GETINBED. QUIT. BED. QUIT. SLEEP. SILENCE!!!!” It did grow quiet. I have written before about the fact that silence is not, in fact…. golden. You see it was silent not because Lucy had fallen asleep. N-to-the-O-T. Instead, she was quietly making [...]
In Which I Look Like A Jonas Brother
Pin itI had to head out to a meeting this afternoon. I wanted my outfit to say something like, “I can hack it.” or “I can bring it”… or maybe “Professional laday is in da hizzouse!!!” *ahem* Before the meeting, I picked up my son from school. As we walked to the car he asked, [...]
And It ALL Happens Because I Blog
Pin itThe Husband… his eyes burning with condemnation… as he stared at me through the innocent stair rails… He said, and I DO believe he seethed these words in ALL CAPS: AND YOU KNOW THIS ALLLLLLLL HAPPENS BECAUSE YOU BLOG. Whu? Who? Me??? Here’s what happened. It was a long weekend. A full weekend. A [...]
Just Goofin'-off On A Coffee Date With My Daughter
Pin itMy 7 year old daughter is a creative-type. She often asks to use my phone to take pictures. Or my Flip to take video. One day, Olivia wanted to take pictures of me. I was all, “Becuase you think I’m beautiful?” She was all, “Noooooo!” And I was all, “Eh?” And she was all… [...]
