A day in my life: Watch out! These days of my life are full of excitement, daring adventures, and lots of drama!
4 am Buddy cries. He's been off since we have been sick for the last week. He goes back to sleep. I cannot. Why!? Why can't I go back to sleep like a normal person?
5 am I start to drift off and Buddy wakes up again. Blah. We've got ...

I often think, "I should blog about that." But then my kids wake up, I fall asleep, or I get up to get myself some ice cream. And then, having the mom brain, I completely forget what I should blog.
So, today, I'm posting in "stream of consciousness". Why, yes, I was an English minor and took all literature classes to fulfill the requirement. That said, this probably isn't true to ...

I decided to grace you guys with my presence. Aren't you thrilled? Does anyone even read this any more?
We've been crazy busy this month! At the end of February we drove to Colorado for a week of winter fun. Due to a blizzard in west Texas (for real..in Texas!) we left a day late and ended up with a 14 hour drive instead of an 11 hour drive. I'll let ...

Valentine's 2013 might make the list of greatest Valentines. And that's saying quite a bit because eight years ago I got engaged on Valentine's weekend. But my man went all out this year, and boy, it was fun!
Four weeks ago I woke up to find my closet rearranged. He moved all of my clothes so that I had a shelf devoted to Valentine's Day. He had a gift for each ...

Well, it happened. We got hit with the plague. We have been blessed beyond expectations all winter since all we'd caught was a runny nose and a little cough. Actually, I thought it worked out great. Don't you think that a big move and life change ought to be all the trials one needs in a year? I thought maybe that was enough to keep us healthy. Really, I am ...

Baby Girl originally wanted a birthday cake with Curious George and Boots on it, her two favorite monkeys on the same cake. When I went to the bakery's website to find sizes, prices, etc, she found a picture of a "princess" cake, and the other cake was forgotten. She wanted a princess party.
We invited three families, which included six girls and three boys, all under the age of 7. My ...

Almost 2 weeks late, but still ... the thought counts. Am I right?
My Baby Girl turned 4! Four! I know every mother says it, but "where did the time go?" I love four! She's independent but still needs me. She's funny. She gets jokes. She makes up jokes (and retells them 800 times). She understands feelings and emotions. She loves big...hugs her friends, tells them she loves them, takes care ...

The day before we left for our 11+ hour drive to Florida, a friend told me about an idea someone else told her. She suggested we wrap a gift for each kid to be opened once an hour on the trip. Even though I was busy that day, I decided to try to get 12 presents wrapped for each kid.
I took both kids to the dollar store and started shopping. ...

It's now January 9, 2013. I don't think I've posted since December 14th. Lots going on. We drove to Florida and spent an amazing week with my parents and my siblings and their families. Buddy and I got nasty colds. Buddy didn't sleep while we were in Florida. We left two weeks early due to sickness, weather, and lack of sleep. I thank God for the chance to see my ...

December 14, 2012. This will be one of those dates that sticks in our minds, like the day in mid-April when there was a school shooting in Columbine, Colorado.
When I first heard the news I was shocked. I grew up in Connecticut. This sort of thing doesn't happen. Is there crime? Yes. Are there shootings? Yes. But most small towns in Connecticut are just that...small towns. I remember when I ...
