Brown Recluse Spider quick summary

Saturday, June 20th, 2009

We live in an area that has Brown Recluse Spiders.
Last year I was bitten by one and had one of the worst experiences I have ever faced. I was pregnant and had 2 kids running around the house while tending to the pain and scar tissue for about 12 weeks. I still have almost constant [...]

The smell of a good book?

Monday, June 8th, 2009

One day soon I envision my children curling up to an ancient book on their lap. It will not have the smell of leather, its pages will never curl, and I will never have to worry about them tearing the pages.

Ergo carrier owner/ ErgoBaby Review

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

I wanted a soft structure carrier (SSC) so that I could put my baby on my back quickly and easily. A clipping SSC is very helpful in cold weather when you want to zip babies up in your coat so they don’t have to wear heavy clothing and when babies are older and want up [...]

Happy Birthday to Mom

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

Today my mom turned 60. If she lives to be as old as her mom, she still has 1/3 of her life to live (and if I live to be as old as her mom I have lived over 1/3 of my life).

Waiting with kids

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

I recently went to See Rachael Ray at our local Williams-Sonoma.
We arrived an hour after she started signing books and if I were to do it again I would wait another hour.
We were in line a total of 1 1/2 hours, but the people who came 1 hour later were only 15 minutes behind us.
So [...]

Rachael Ray is coming to Town

Friday, December 5th, 2008

For about the last month I have been watching Rachael Ray with my children before we have dinner at night. Her meals look easy enough to make and are somewhat nutritious. The greatest fun in watching her has been my oldest saying Yum-o at foods she normally turns her nose up to and #2 [...]

What’s the best Christmas gift?

Monday, November 24th, 2008

God’s gift to us on the first Christmas was a relationship built on love.
Ever think of giving Presence for Christmas.
This is my focus for this advent season. I want to give my family presence. This is what will be remembered the most and creates the best traditions.

I’ll never do that

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

I was thinking this because our second [...]
