  • Much needed therapy

    ,

    This has not been a fun week. At all. The stove blew up on Monday night as I was cooking dinner. And I’m totally not kidding – one of the burners blew up, shorted out, sparks flying everywhere. And that was the end of the stove. So, we ate out of the crockpot or microwave… Read more

  • now for something fun

    I’m the Guest Designer at Scrapologie this month. 🙂 This kit was too much fun to play with – I’ve been a subscriber since the beginning and if you are looking for a kit club to join, this is it!  Ranjini is so incredibly welcoming and talented and you’ll have lots of fun drooling over… Read more

  • one foot in front of the other

    ,

    We had Elizabeth’s neurologist appointment this morning. The neuro seems fairly certain that Libby has a seizure disorder. 🙁  She thinks that, besides the grand mal seizure (I didn’t realize that her seizure in August was classified as such, but it was) that she had, that she’s also been having partial seizures. Which are different… Read more

  • Scrappy Saturday

    It’s chilly, rainy, and dreary outside. College football is on, I’m about to make a pot of coffee, and the kids are playing UNO. It’s just about perfect.  Oh, and I’m scrapping. Just for me. 🙂 Journaling reads: I can’t wait for Boo to learn how to play her violin. My dream is that 10… Read more

  • On…..off…….on…….off……on…..

    Sigh. I wish my internet provider would make up its mind. It was on. Then it was off. Then it was on. Then it was off. For 48+ hours that time. I had just gotten into a groove with no computer – getting other stuff done, volunteering at the kids’ school, cleaning house, and then… Read more

  • soooo much fun!!!

    I had a photo shoot on Saturday – my first with a teen. Soooo much fun!!! Amazing how much more fun it is when your subject doesn’t run away from you or need M&Ms as a bribe. 🙂 Isn’t she adorable? Read more

  • My nutcase

    ,

    Andrew has figured out that if he acts like a nutcase when I want to take some photos, I will bribe him with M&Ms to get him to stop acting like a nutcase. So, of course, the minute I start taking photos, he pulls this on me. Sigh. He totally has my number. Read more

  • Spinning my wheels

    Ever have one of those weeks where you have ten million things to do, fifteen different To Do lists going at the same time, and you can’t sleep at night because you’re afraid you’re going to forget something important? That’s me this week. And I’m about to give up. Seriously, not everything is going to… Read more

  • A 9-11 survivor

    ,

    Today is for my younger brother, Jeff. A day to be incredibly thankful that he is here. This is a picture taken this summer in Maine – he was playing with his daughter and my son. Read more
