Tonight Tim, the girls, and I went to see a house that is for sale and has drastically dropped in price. We’ve been keeping our eye on this place for a while now because it is a log home seated on 7.6 acres. The house is now empty so we decided to let ourselves in [...]

Hello Internet. It is me. I will try not to be hurt if you don’t remember me, although I remember you. It has been too long since we have spent any meaningful time together. The brief and rare times I do open my computer these days are spent quickly responding to emails, updating sites other [...]

Abbi: “Look mom, doves. Two doves.”Me: “Wow, that’s great honey.”Abbi: “He’s sitting on him. He’s doing piggy back rides.”Apparently we have some frisky doves here and our front walk-way is make-out corner. Those horny little guys were back the next day, “giving piggy back rides”. I might need to give “the talk” to our local [...]

Yes, I realize that Mother’s Day was eight days ago. That should tell you how much free time I have these days. But I really wanted to post this so here it is, just a little later than I had hoped.Mother’s Day sucked this year. Sucked. In so many ways. On so many levels. My [...]

Zoe is one month old today. I can’t believe it has been a month since we welcomed her into our lives. I can’t believe it has been a month of sleep deprivation. She’s not doing much quite yet but she is staying awake during the day more and making more eye contact. She is definitely [...]

Today is Tara’s birthday and I still need to call her to wish her a happy birthday. Tara and her husband, Scott, are our most fabulous friends. Tim has known Scott for, ummm, well, forever. They went to college together and lived together during and post college (until I married Tim and made him live [...]

I’ve mentioned before that there a few sites/blogs that I love to check because they debut some of the latest products out there for kids and moms. Some of these sites offer “giveaways” on different products that they are blogging about. I usually enter these “giveaways” because, well, why not? Even if I never win, [...]

Well, we didn’t make any fun flower baskets for anyone today to celebrate May Day. I actually didn’t even entertain the thought being that I have been flying solo with a teething toddler and a newborn. I did, however, enjoy reading about everyone’s plans for crafts they were going to do. So cute!I will share [...]
