It’s Friday! Let’s Partay!

The bug sprayer came today.  Because I almost died three days ago trying to get away from a cricket in the basement and I called them with instructions to come asap or I would likely leave the house and never return.  We also had a lovely little colony of ants trying to make a home […]

DotDotDash

Last night I had the wonderful opportunity to join some local bloggy ladies at a boutique here in town where we enjoyed wine, appetizers and shopping!  It was like a beautiful dream. Organized by the lovely Lisa (my partner at STL Family Life) and Ria Sharon of My Mommy Manual, a group of us got […]

Remember When?

Remember when you could wake up slowly and relish the morning? Yeah…me neither. Remember when you could look at the clock and smile, then roll over and sleep another half an hour. Nope. No recollection. Remember when you were first married (if you are married, of course) and you would look lazily over at your […]

It’s a Mash Up – Boogie Woogie Woogie

*You should be forewarned…this post is as random as they get.  It couldn’t be MORE random.  I’d like to think of it as a mash up post.  You can mash up songs so why can’t you mash up a post.  Let’s see how it goes… This first section will find me fulfilling my mom blogger […]

Linky Loo’s

There will be no post here today.  I’m buried under a mountain of work.  You can read the post I wrote for STL Family Life, however, and I really hope that you do because I want as many local folks as possible to go see this show!  An organization called Variety the Children’s Charity has […]

Dream a Little Dream

I am a dreamer.  A day dreamer, night dreamer, all the time dreamer.  A dreamer with an active imagination.  With all this dreaminess there is often quite a bit of disappointment.  Because dreams don’t always come true.  Of course, the fulfillment of dreams all depends on how you view things. When I was little I […]

Pumpkin Patch 2010

I’ve been going to Rambach’s Pumpkin Patch since I was a kid and for nine Halloween’s we haven’t missed visiting this patch with our kids.  (The first year I was pregnant with Sloan). So Sunday when the weather was balmy hot we decided to make the trek out there.  It feels a little sacreligious to […]

He is Dad

I am two or three years old*.  I’m on stage at our church singing my first solo – Away in a Manger.  My hair is curled and I have on a lacy dress.  Is it blue?  I can’t remember.  I am standing in front of the mic singing and he is below, at the bottom of […]

Potty Training 103

I’m not one to talk about all things potty on my blog.  It isn’t my schtick.  So you will not be getting all the gory details of Landon’s potty training, as diappointing as I’m sure that is to all of you. Actually, things have been going as well as they could be around here.  We’ve […]

Tradition

It has become tradition each year in the fall for the kids and I to go to Twin Oaks Park for amateur photos (I am so amateur, too – I really wish I knew how to take better pictures).  Afterwards they play on the playground and we go out to dinner.  You can see last […]
