of my favorite girl {and her favorite babe}. She’s full of beans {and surprises} and absolutely loves to dance {and entertain us with gymnastic routines} Ta da! Ps. You should know…I bribed her with 3 little jellybeans to repeat the routine she had just performed inside {on this dreary, rainy day} – outside, where the lighting was better {and… Read More
Boy vs. Frog
Despite his appetite for the less palatable side of life {ie. week-old cheerios, toe jam and dirt}, this Bug of ours actually has quite refined taste buds. Oui, oui. Je crois que oui. T’es prêt? On occasion he experiences a hankering for freshly caught frogs legs. What can I say, we’ve cultivated high-class cravings in our children {ahem}.
My Storyteller
“Hi! I came to visit you. This is my house. You can come in.” “My name is Tiana and this is my baby, Double-U” “She was in my tummy for 4 days…and then I went to the hospital and the doctor cut me and took my baby out” “She was 3 yesterday, and today she is 1” “This is my… Read More
The Tomato Bandit
The shocking discovery was made just a few days ago as my baby sister and I dug potatoes up from our veggie garden. A Tomato Bandit is on the loose. As if Lucy wasn’t terrifying enough, our little tomato plants have even more reason to tremble. Caught red handed {sporting an adorable Star Wars onesie}, the bandit sits, sucking dry… Read More
This Little Piggy
I’m quite positive that the only thing cuter than a wee little boy in Christmas jammies {in early September}, eating animal crackers {and my camera lens cover}, while laughing at his daddy… is the little piggy belonging to this little boy, sticking out of said {prematurely seasonal} jammies while devouring aforementioned crackers. Gives a whole new meaning to “Baby… Read More
Just popping in to say…
I. love. love. love. this. girl.
Benadryl is My Friend
Alternately entitled: “Can I Get a Sick Day All Up in Here?” My kiddos are sick. And their {poor, exhausted, mucous-streaked} momma is sick too. It ain’t pretty. The past 2 days have consisted of more snot than you could ever imagine wiping from 4 rosy little nostrils, less sleep than any human being should be required to function on,… Read More

Making the Cut
It’s been a day of trimming around here. It started with lots of {dirty} little nails. And was followed by impromptu taming of the curl chaos that is my daughter’s head… While I’m always hesitant to lop off any of my daughter’s gorgeous curls {and have only mustered up the courage to do so one other time in her short… Read More
Gone Fishing
Cricket loves working on cars with her daddy. She also happens to love climbing trees and collecting bugs. My girly-girl. Go figure. So it was no surprise when she started expressing an interest in fishing, and acquiring a little fishing pole of her very own. When she turned 3, my hubby’s grandparents fulfilled that wish. Needless to say, she’s a… Read More
1 Year Ago Today…
we heard the words Supraventricular Tachycardia for the very first time. Today, it’s simply a part of our daily lives. A hiccup, not a sentence. Often the moments that cause us to appreciate life and treasure our loved ones most fiercely are the ones when we feel like everything is being taken away. 1 year ago today, we stood…a thick… Read More
Wheelbarrow Racing
of the immovable kind. That’s the sort of thing that occurs outside the man cave {the “other” garage} when an overturned wheelbarrow sits, with it’s body begging to be climbed on and it’s wheel asking to be spun. Besides, she’s always up for something fun {although she does prefer fun when it collides with dangerous}… And after cross-country skiing on… Read More
