She gets her graceful hill-tumbling maneuvers from yours truly. The booger on her cheek, compliments of her brother. And her persistence, from her daddy. We think she’s a good mix.
Ode to Brie
Delectable Brie {with a capital ‘D’} I will here spread the word, for all to see Apples & crackers delish, nutty stackers, So creamy and rich, divine spreadability Oh, scrumptious brie How I do adore thee I just wish you would not have such an effect upon me You start at my lips And hop […]
It’s Not Wrong…It’s Just Long {ENSJ}
My husband and I have a mantra: “it’s not wrong…it’s just different”. We picked up the phrase {as it pertains to marriage} while taking the Love & Respect course years ago. I then adopted it as my mom-tra as I began to see how, even played out in my own life, our differences {in parenting […]
All Dressed Up
We gave our little ones the opportunity to get decked out in costumes and gorge on candy {which meant 3 pieces, and 1 lollipop, respectively. Yes, I’m a sugar nazi} at a local church on Friday evening. They loved it. We survived. We’re not big on Halloween by any stretch of the imagination, but we […]
Confessions of a {Crabby} Mom
There are days that I would much rather hide under the covers than emerge, and most certainly not as a friendly, perky mom. Or even a semi alert one. I’d rather stay in bed. Maybe sleep for 3 days. And get back with ya later, kid. Sometimes the thought of another day, especially if it […]
Butternut Bliss {in a Bowl}
I’m slightly attached to October. And I must admit, I’m not quite ready to let her go. October spells Autumn in all her kaleidoscopic glory, marital celebration in all it’s annual bliss, jeans ‘n socks in all their hairy-leg-shrouding convenience, and…well, November is just too close to December. And to say I’m not ready for […]
Can You Take My Picture?
In the final few days of Indian Summer warmth we soaked up, before they got blown away by gale force winds, this is what I heard… “Mommy…? Can you take a picture of me running? Can you take a picture of me running…into you?” “Sure sweetie…run!” And run she did. Over…and over…and over […]
I Ate A Kit Kat
{begin mindless fodder} There. I said it. I did it. I broke my sugar “boycott”. 70 days without sweets {minus my single, carefree anniversary cookie}, with about 30 more to go, and then this…a kit kat, in all it’s chocolate-coated-wafery goodness. I also haven’t shaved my legs for 2 weeks, just in case you wanted […]
Just Look At These Faces…
What’s not to love? {and it’s a wrap}
Snot. Tissues. Benadryl. Repeat.
My precious hubby has blessed me with lots of opportunities to sleep a little more today. He rocks my world. The wee babes are not well, and I’m not feeling spectacular either. So, in honor of all the snotty tissues laying around, and the fact that the Benadryl has once again been dug out of […]
