On American Idol: I think America (mostly) got it right last night. I love the little pink haired Molly-Ringwald-lookalike girl (what’s her name?) and think she is a legitimate singer. Danny is also a very good singer, though I was with Simon in that I didn’t think he did well enough to warrant the swooning […]

February 18, 2009 by
Sloan and I wrote his first story together today. He dictated, I typed-and added a few things here and there to make it a little more gramatically appealing. The editor in me just can’t write things that are completely and utterly wrong – *shudder* But I did not change the story – I wrote it […]

What I’m Up To
February 17, 2009 by
Recently, I’ve joined forces with the lovely ladies at 5 Minutes for Mom, an amazing site dedicated to empowering and promoting mothers. I’ll be joining them as a contributing writer/editor and I can’t tell you how thrilled I am with this opportunity. I love their site and look forward to working with them more closely. […]

February 16, 2009 by
Saturday afternoon, we packed the family up and went to the local YMCA to watch Sloan play basketball. Who knew that while watching a group of 5-year-olds trip over a bright orange ball, I would end up blinking back tears and, ultimately, lose a night’s sleep. Sloan is a great little athlete. So far, two […]

I love this sweet boy. He’s rotten but he’s so very, very cute. And he knows how to make his mama feel good. Pray for my sister-in-law, Becke’, today and her family. It was a year ago that her sweet sister, Kiley, went to be with Jesus. Knowing she is basking in His glory is […]

February 12, 2009 by
Last week, Lee and I got the bright idea that we were going to start the Master Cleanse diet. C’mon, I know you’ve all seen the commercials. You’ve heard them say that we all have pounds of waste clinging to our colon walls like spackle or paste. Well, Lee and I wanted to detoxify. And, […]

Two weeks ago, when we visited the pediatrician, the doctor checked Tai’s ears and could only see wax. After digging in both ears and washing them out, a process that was torturous for both Tia and Lee and I, the doctor had successfully removed four plugs of wax that were each roughly the diameter of […]

Enjoy the video of our little rock star. I particularly love the part where he sings “I will levah praise you.” Awesome. He kept starting just a little too high and had to go into his falsetto. So cute. If you click on The Next American Idol link under the Favorites tab, you can see […]

If you need help wiping, let me know. Hold still, I’ve got to dig this booger out of your nose. Wow, I love that Crockpot. 7:30? Man, we slept in today. Don’t grab your brother’s penis. Can I please use the bathroom in private? Eat your french fries or you can’t have dessert. I swear, […]

Well, I did it. Yesterday I took the plunge and registered my oldest for kindergarten. Ohmygosh, how did we get here so fast? I try hard not to be one of those weepy moms who gets overly emotional at silly stuff, but this made me a little emotional. It does go by fast doesn’t it? […]
