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 […]

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 […]

When you combine: One brown sweatsuit (size 24 mos) Several pieces of craft felt: Some tan-ish curtain tie-back cording: And a semi-cooperative 18-month old? Why, just the MOST PRECIOUS puppy dog (or, as Sam says, Say-Say) EVER And one more (for good measure) from the school party

Tonight was a big night for Jacob. It was his first band concert. (The first of many, I hope!) J is in the Trombone beginning band class at Tidwell Middle School and they had their first performance tonight. Now, they’ve only been playing their instruments for about 6 weeks, so we had no idea what […]

Over Labor Day weekend, (yeah, yeah, I’m late posting – what else is new?) the 5 of us took a road trip to see my family in League City! Jacob doesn’t get home from school until after 5, so we decided to eat dinner and take our time getting on the road to let some […]

I’ll try not to get too mushy here, but I can’t promise I won’t. Happy Birthday to the man I love most in this world. Happy Birthday to the father of the other loves of my life, our three wonderful boys. Happy Birthday to the man from whom I’ve learned so much about love, life, […]

Oh my, so many ideas for posts are swimming in my head right now. But since it’s late, I’m going to pick a quick one and go with it. I have yet another new adventure beginning. You might have noticed on my “Faves” list a site called InterfaithFamily.com (IFF). It’s been a fabulous resource for […]

The crayons were a huge hit today! After Sam finished breakfast this morning, I unveiled his new treat. I taped a piece of paper to his high chair tray (so it wouldn’t move around so much – thank you for the tip, random parenting article that I can’t recall anything else about right now) and […]

Today, Texas Health Resources Momblog posted a submission of mine about being present in the moment. This is something I’ve really been struggling with lately, and I think maybe this weekend was a sort of breakthrough, though entirely unintended. Part of the time we were just too busy for me to even think about somehow […]
