Don’t worry, this won’t be a mushy-gushy, lovey-dovey post…well, maybe a Mommy-type mushy-gushy post. Sam’s class had a Valentine’s Party at school today, and I was lucky enough to arrange to work from home today so I could attend. The parents all brought food for the party, though the kids really only zeroed in on [...]

You’ve probably heard (read? seen? you get the idea) me say I’m not a crafty-type person. I stand by that, but this week/weekend, I had a pretty good moment, I think. Saturday was a baby shower for a friend of mine. This baby was much prayed for and is already so loved and cherished – [...]

Okay, so if you’re my Facebook friend (and if you’re not my Facebook friend, are we really friends?), you might already know this story. As I might have mentioned before, the big boys started basketball season this past weekend. At Jacob’s game, one of the refs had a little fun with the moms. He started [...]

Yes, yes, I know I already did a yay 2012 post. But it was lame. So here’s one that’s (hopefully) better…and has pictures. I hope 2012 has very little of this: Lots of time for things like this: And this: And this: I hope 2012 has lots of moments that make me feel like this: [...]

Well folks, I hope y’all sent off 2011 in style (and safely!) and rang in 2012 with smiles and laughter, like we did. I’m sorry I don’t have any pictures to post, we were too busy enjoying each other’s company. The five of us went over to Sam’s friend Lily’s house (which happens to also [...]

**Disclaimer** I cannot take credit for these rules (thanks for the email, Dad!), though I will vow to follow them religiously. If you eat a Christmas cookie fresh out of the oven, it has no calories because everyone knows that the first cookie is the test and thus calorie free. If you drink a diet [...]

From December 15 through the 20th, Sam and I drove to League City to visit Grandma and Grandpa. This was the first time I was brave enough to drive that far with Sam by myself (yes, I know I’m a weenie). Daddy has a big project going on at work, so he couldn’t take time [...]

I know I’ve been sort of MIA lately on here, and most of that can be attributed to a very busy “busy season” at work. And rest assured, dear reader(s? maybe?) that I’m getting back to it now that I can find my desk. And I’ve started here, with my latest post on the fabulous Texas [...]

Since they’re headed up here for Turkey day (two visits in one month! I’m so excited I can hardly stand it! ) and I’ve mentioned it in two different posts (here and here), I thought I better do a write up about Mom and Dad’s (Grandma and Grandpa or, less and less frequently, Grandma Ann [...]

Well, it seems I’m running about a week behind. I’ll catch up eventually…right? (Someone please tell me it’s possible – I hate being so far behind!) Last week, on November 5, our fabulous Caleb turned eight years old! Caleb is one of the most wonderful kids in the world. He’s smart as a whip (sometimes [...]
