Snips and Snails and Puppydog Tails

So, you know about 3 weeks ago I posted this about preparing for my friend’s wedding? Yeah…I totally slacked off on posting about how beautiful the wedding was! Here on Snips and Snails, that is. I did get this write-up done for the Texas Health Moms Momblog, which really sums up the whole day nicely. But, [...]

Jacob’s baseball team, the Keller Aces, had their first tournament this past weekend. They played two games on Saturday resulting in one loss and one tie. (He had already played a basketball game Saturday morning and Friday night, and Caleb had played a basketball game on Saturday, so to say it was a full sports [...]

A dear, dear friend is marrying the love of her life on Saturday. Today, the bride-to-be, her bridesmaids, her mother, aunt, both future sisters-in-law (one of them is a bridesmaid, also), and her future mother-in-law got together this evening for some wonderful pampering! We met up at Hollywood Nails and Spa. First, let me say [...]

Yesterday was Open House at Caleb’s school. We didn’t know about it until the last minute (literally, I was driving home from work). Sam and I didn’t have time to make it up there (:() but Daddy went. He sent us these pictures of Caleb’s artwork on display: His class has also been studying recycling, [...]

Don’t judge; we all have a “junk something” – junk drawer in the kitchen or bedroom, a junk bucket at the foot of the stairs or in a spare room…you know, a place that holds all the stuff you don’t have a better place for, but can’t fathom getting rid of yet. Well, in our [...]

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 [...]
