Alternately Titled: I’m Goin’ to the Spa Today! That’s right. I’m headed to the spa today to unleash my inner girl. The one who likes to be pampered and waited upon. Who wants ice cold water with cucumber slices delivered to her outstretched hand in a slender, cylinder glass. The one who likes the smell […]

Hi, My Name is Kelli…
January 4, 2011 by
And I’m addicted to skin care products. Hmmm…addicted makes it sound serious. Perhaps I should just say I’m in love with skin care products. But that makes my relationship with all things skin related sounds healthy. You know what? Let’s just not qualify it. Hi, my name is Kelli and I have a lot of […]

Sometimes He Calms the Storm
January 3, 2011 by
New Year’s Eve brought unseasonably warm temperatures around here. St. Louis is the arm pit of the United States. We get a conglomeration of everybody’s weather. Which means it can be 60 degrees at 9:00 and 20 degrees by 2:00. We get the snow and ice, the heat and humidity. We live with weather whiplash. […]

I’m feeling the need for a bloggy break. I simply can’t think of anything to write about these days. Oh sure, there’s the fact that I’m going on 3 weeks of being sick and I’m pretty sure I’ve got the black lung, but that’s not a blog worthy topic. My house looks like Christmas vomited […]

December 27, 2010 by
It was an idyllic Christmas in the Stuart home, complete with a winter wonderland outside. We enjoyed a long, relaxing weekend and are now all refreshed, rejuvinated and…well, the kids are already tired of each other as evidenced by the fact that they’ve been sent to different rooms and it’s only 7:45. Whatcha gonna do? […]

December 21, 2010 by
Monkey has been a part of our family for two years now. He was adopted on Landon’s first brithday and it was love at first sight…or bite – whatever. Since that time, Monkey (sometimes referred to as Steve) has been a mere extension of Landon’s skinny little arm. Two peas in a pod, they are. […]

For three or four years now I’ve determined that I would throw a Christmas party for the kids. I usually come up with the idea around December 24. Because I’m that awesome. This year, I determined somewhere around August 25 that I would actually, indeed, for real, throw a Christmas party for the kids. I […]
