  • Moving on

    I’ve been a bit melancholy lately about Elizabeth. At the ripe old age of 6, she has decided that she doesn’t need her Mommy anymore. I have a feeling that it’s partially because from August – February, she had to deal with me way too often as we dealt with her seizure disorder and her… Read more

  • No rules

    I’m not playing by the rules today. LOL!  Wendy tagged me after Jessica tagged her, so I’m supposed to be blogging about 6 weird things about me, but then I went back to Jessica’s blog to read her stuff and found this instead. Visual DNA – too much fun!!!! Make one for yourself! And I… Read more

  • What’s on your walls?

    I have this problem. I don’t have many photos that I took on my walls. And I tend to like a lot of the photos that I take, so why the heck don’t I hang them on my walls? We went to Chicago last weekend to Navy Pier and I took over 300 photos and… Read more

  • Maybe another baby????

    Okay, Stef, Burch, and Wendy – don’t start yelling at me just yet. How about another furry baby? I’m thinking that’s part of the change I want. I’ve been thinking about kittens for months now – our cat, Maggie, is almost 12 and I’ve always thought that it would be best for us to have… Read more

  • Pioneer Dreams

    Okay, true confession time. Raise your hand if you read the "Little House on the Prairie" books when you were a little girl. I’ll wait – raise ’em! Me!!!! I dreamed and dreamed about becoming Laura. Oh my gosh, I wanted the bonnet that hung down my back, I wanted the open prairies to explore… Read more

  • Traditions

    , ,

    Do you ever have one of those days when you realize that everything seems the same and days and years morph into each other? When you realize that nothing has changed for a long time? That last year, you did the same exact thing on a birthday? And that you always have the same schedule… Read more

  • My Libby

    ,

    She is my heart. And her personality has come back to us. I don’t have any other words. Except that I’m so proud to be her mommy. Read more

  • Brain Extractions

    I simply had to scrap this. A conversation with Andrew on Monday afternoon. (I think he’s gonna give Janet’s Bubba a run for his money one of these days!) Journaling: Andrew is almost four and he is constantly coming up with things that stop me in my tracks. How does a little almost-4-year-old come up… Read more

  • So much

    What an incredibly busy week we’ve had! We had friends come into town on Wednesday, spend the night at a local hotel, and hang out again with us on Thursday morning. Totally a blast!!! So much fun!!! And also found out that this new book is almost ready for release!!!! So much coolness!!! And, yes,… Read more
