Favorite Things

I joined the Blogging Chicks so I’m writing my first piece for the weekly Carnival of the Blogging Chicks.  The theme this week is Favorite Things. I never was very good at writing under pressure.  Let’s see…  I have lots of favorite things.  I love chocolate and wine and coffee.  Are you sensing a theme [...]

What’s a Girl To Do?

When she finds herself without Internet access for an entire summer morning and without a car to go shopping? Well, paint the living room, of course. (The picture was taken by my son, so pardon the strange tilt to the camera.  My house isn’t crooked, really.) I just got the urge, and I had a [...]

Tour Of Homes

Compliments of BooMama, it’s the Tour of Homes! Applause please. I am very thankful for my home. I feel like God totally led us here. I used to look at cookie-cutter new construction homes like these and alternate between coveting them for their spaciousness and disdaining them for their lack of character. Either way, I [...]

Am I Allowed?

To do two Memes in one day?  Does this make me the Queen Geek of Blogdom??  Probably.  Oh well.  My house is clean, YAY!  So I feel no guilt wasting more time navel gazing.  Here goes. THREE THINGS THAT SCARE ME: 1) Dogs. 2) The thought of pedophiles looking at pictures of my kids on [...]

Meme

Kel Tagged all her readers for this MeMe.  And I’m always a sucker for a new Meme.  I know, it’s so uncool to admit you love these.  But come on, admit it!  They’re FUN. What were you doing 10 years ago? I was newly married, living in a small apartment with harvest gold bathroom and [...]

Going In…

If you don’t hear from me for a few days, you’ll know that I got eaten up by the Soap Scum Monster that is hiding out in my bathroom. I am putting on my battle gear, and I’m going to clean that bathroom.  I will not return to the computer until every surface is sparkling. [...]

The Glamourous Life I Lead

So we’re driving home from a friend’s house, and the Princess hollers from the 3rd row of the minivan, “Mommyyyyy!  I need a tissuuuuuuue!” Then she turns to her brother beside her and says conversationally, “Wanna see my boogie!?” Uggghh!

To me, From me, The best kind of gift!

So I splurged on myself yesterday.  Ran out and got a french manicure and pedicure.  Thought I needed a little relaxation treat after a long hard week.  To me from me.  Love that!

Kid Update

If you’ve read my blog in the last 12 hours, then you’ve probably read this.  I decided my posts are getting waaaay too long and I decided to cut this out of my Back In The Land Of The Living post and put it in a separate entry.  So here’s the latest on each of [...]

I Promise

I will never call air conditioning a small blessing ever again. I cannot explain the glee I have felt each and every time I entered my cool, humidity-free home today!  And then tonight when we came in from hanging out with the neighbors outside in the dusk, it was such a treat to be greeted [...]
