  • document yourself

      Layout credits here. Gosh, a paper layout! (shock) LOL – I do so many paper layouts for Creative Memories but I can't post any of them here, so sometimes I forget to post my paper layouts from ScrapSupply, too. Kay and Sue are leading a weekly photography challenge layout at ScrapSupply and this is the… Read more

  • save me + a layout

      Full credits here at Designer Digitals. He's such a lap dog. 🙂 For some reason, I told both girls that they could have a friend sleepover tonight. And for an even stranger reason, I also told them that I'd take them and Andrew to see "Hotel for Dogs" tonight at the movie theater. I… Read more

  • lap dog

      Sawyer is a total lap dog. If I'm on the floor – which I am much of the time with him – he's on my lap. If we play fetch, he brings the toy back and lays on my lap. If he's tired and I'm on the floor, he crawls into my lap. In… Read more

  • Memories of Boo Boo

    Elizabeth's second grade class is writing their autobiographies in class and so she and I went through old photos tonight so that she could choose some to illustrate her book. And, oh my heart. My precious little girl. These photos were all taken when she was three – my favorite time with her, I think.… Read more

  • Puppy stats

    Just so that I don't forget in case I ever write my version of "Marley and Me." 'Cause seriously, this dog is giving me fits. :p 9 weeks – 10.2 pounds 10 weeks – 12.4 pounds 11 weeks – 14.2 pounds 12 weeks – 17 pounds *Author's note: Holy crap! My dog is going to… Read more

  • we starved the baby.

    ,

    When we got Sawyer, the breeder told us how much to feed him and we've been feeding him that same amount for the last 5 weeks. He's been growing so fast and gaining (gulp) 2 pounds/week. (He's gonna be huge!!) So, I never thought much about whether we were feeding him enough. Until yesterday. And… Read more

  • And Em turns 11

      It is so hard to believe that I've been a mother for 11 years. Yet, at the same time, what did I ever do with myself before I had kids? As she does most every birthday, when she woke up this morning, she asked me to tell her what I was doing at that… Read more

  • Treasure the doing a little more

    Today has been a funny day. Not a funny-haha day. (That would have been yesterday when I drove the van into a snowbank – well, it kinda fell into the snowbank – and then took out the neighbors' mailbox. Sigh.) Anyway, today was a funny-weird day. Every time I turned around, I was being reminded… Read more

  • brain dump + puppy layout

      This layout has nothing whatsoever to do with this post except that my life has changed completely since we brought Sawyer home and I'll be the first one to admit that I'm getting really frustrated with having to constantly puppysit him. Full layout credits here. My brain is just on overload today. Probably from… Read more
