With Abbi’s ever increasing vocabulary I’ve decided that there are a few that I absolutely love more than others.  Of course she’ll pretty much try to repeat different things that you say so I am having to watch what words I use.  There are just certain things I do not want my toddler repeating at [...]

She’s totally figured out the whole hiding the chicken in the yogurt thing.  Thankfully, instead of boycotting chicken AND yogurt, she has taken it upon herself to dip her chicken in her yogurt.  It certainly saves me the time and effort of trying to stealthfully hide the chicken in her spoonful of yogurt without her [...]

This morning Abbi was up at 6:30 again.  I don’t know what it is about that magical 7am but I swear I cannot function before 7am.  I know it is a mental thing because no matter how much sleep I get the night before my ability to spring out of bed in the morning solely [...]

I’ve been spending a lot of my evenings searching through the MLS for potential houses.  The hubby has been such a trooper as I make him pause what he is doing to look at photos on line or to tell me, yet again, how big the rooms are in our condo so I have some [...]

Yesterday I filled up the Mini (That would be minivan, not mini cooper. Unfortunately.) at $2.99/gallon.  I won’t even go into how in awe I was when I was in college and gas hit $1.00/gallon or how in high school we would put $5 worth of gas in our car and be able to cruise [...]

With all this talk of putting our condo on the market and looking for a new house, Tim and I decided (once again) to try to buckle down on the excess spending.  We tend to eat out quite a bit (mostly fast food) and I have a tendency to buy stuff that we really don’t [...]
