And away we go!

Dave and I are finally getting a chance to go away for the weekend (thank you Mom & Dad!) and oh my goodness how we need it. There’s a great state park about an hour south of here with beautiful rock formations and caves. Dave used to do a lot of caving in his “pre [...]

Wordless Wednesday (Fancy Schmancy Edition)

Check out other WW!

The next Ansel Adams

Jake has always loved the digital camera, both having his picture taken and then looking at the picture that was just taken of him. It makes it nearly impossible to take candid shots of him because he’s always hamming it up as soon as he sees the camera around. And then it takes 4 hours [...]

Mother’s helpers

So, I’ve got 2 new mother’s helpers. They started coming around and helping out a couple of months ago and I now find them nearly indispensable when it comes to trying to get Jake to do something he doesn’t want to do. For some reason, he always listens to them instead of me, and it’s [...]

Real Moms Rock

O.K. So Zany Mama tagged me several days ago for this meme and I just plain forgot. I have read several others posts to get the gist of it, but mine won’t be very poetic. Soooo, here we go…
Real Moms……forget things.…always check the temperature of their kids food (even if it takes several bites to [...]

Smart Habit Saturdays (or so)

I am amazed and impressed at those of you who can create new habits ever week. I come up with these great habits in my head (future posts, no doubt), but then I think “Well, shoot. You don’t even have the 2nd habit down yet. Why try to move forward?”

But I will anyway! I’ve been [...]

The hills are alive

So, I’ve had this iPod shuffle sitting on my desk for forever and a day. I don’t remember where we got it, but Dave got 2 free at the same time. Within 48 hours his was formatted and loaded with music. Mine, however sat. And sat. And sat. So [...]

Reading list

When I was growing up, I read A LOT! I could easily go through a book a day and I loved it. I don’t know what happened, but I hardly read it all anymore, unless it’s a magazine. I just haven’t made reading books a priority anymore. So hopefully the Spring Reading Thing hosted by [...]

Name that tune

So, I love to sing. I’m not all that great, but I can hold my own I think. I’m always singing to Jake and Emma to get them to do something or just singing whatever song pops into my head at any given moment. Sometimes I don’t even know I’ve been singing [...]

Ugh

I just feel icky today. Dave has been fighting something for a little over a week now, and it seems it has found it’s 2nd victim. One good thing is that I haven’t been on the computer that much because my normal computer time was taken up by sleeping. I can’t tell [...]
