Wordless Wednesday – Childhood

Dontcha just love it?!

I’m headed to Blissdom today and am giddy with delight. If you’re going to be there, look for me will you?

I’ll be the minivan mom with the pink hair standing in the corner.

Wanna be friends?

Wordless Wednesday: The Time Out

The two year old has morphed into a two year old seemingly overnight.  Where he once was compliant and sweet natured, he is now often beligerant and feisty.  He is experiencing discipline to its fullness here lately, including his first ever time out.

Wordless Wednesday – The Season is Changing

The season is changing.  It’s crisp and cool outside, beautiful and refreshing.  But I’m not going to lie – I’m mourning summer’s end.  Today, I’m really wishing I was back here:

Dragon Cay, Middle Caicos

On the plus side, I bought a rockin’ pair of jeans yesterday for very cheap and I’m enjoying wearing those today.  But I’d rather be in my bathing suit with crystal blue waters lapping around my ankles.
