Wedding Vows, a Decade Later.

Chris, being the more creative and eloquent half of our marriage, personally wrote our wedding vows.  We said those vows ten years ago today, and they were beautiful and meaningful and everything you would want them to be. But to be honest, I don’t remember a single line from them. And yes, I asked – […]

The Secrets of Pisgah.

So.  To celebrate our tenth anniversary (coming up on Thursday), Chris and I went to Pisgah this weekend. Yes. Pisgah. But you know what’s weirder than a town named Pisgah? The fact that there are two towns, in Alabama, named Pisgah. I discovered this by trying to map my iPhone to our destination.  Then I […]

Explosions, of the Peep Variety.

People are passionate about their Easter Candy Experience. I had no idea of this phenomenon until I wrote my thesis on Cadbury Mini Eggs, and watched it become my most popular post of the month.  But the most fascinating concept that came out of that post was…exploding Peeps. I knew that Peeps were a well-experimented-on […]

The Poo of Reckoning.

All photos contained herein are reenactments.  The original event was far too graphic and intense to photograph.   It had been three days. He used to not be able to go three hours without pooing. I knew that when it finally happened, I was going to be in for it, so I went ahead and […]

Yes, Virginia, There is a Miniature Giraffe.

It was at least six years ago… It was one of those dreams that you wake up wishing you could return to…and that you remember for the rest of your life. I dreamed that I had a miniature Giraffe. He came up to my knees.  And he was perfectly adorable. We kept him on our […]

A Wedding Story.

I’m back! I had a very nice few days off (aside from yet another attack by the tooth army that lives in my mouth – I swear they’re out to destroy me), but WOW you missed a lot – quite the significant event happened while I was on break!!  So it’s time to catch you […]

Thomas and the Big, Big Problem.

Originally published September 12, 2009. Ali is still in love with Thomas. And call us immature, but Chris and I can’t help but get the giggles when we are reading or watching it with her and Thomas’ whistle comes up. I know, I know, the writers are British, and across the pond, cookies are biscuits […]

The Issue of Smock.

I’ve been saving up my bloggy vacation days for over three years now, and for the first time ever, I’m going to intentionally take a few days off.  But don’t worry – while I’m letting my fingers take a Spring Break, I’ll be posting some older re-runs here that most of you probably weren’t around […]

A Cadbury Mini-Eggucation.

Every year around Easter, I drool all over Facebook and Twitter regarding the subject of Cadbury Mini-Eggs and their heavenly goodness. And every year, people say things like.. “Oh yeah, those chocolate eggs with the yolks in them!!” or “I can’t stand their gooeyness.” or “I didn’t know they made those in a smaller size!” […]

Infantile Malaise

Hi – Noah Here. Normally, I would be maniacally giddy that I got ahold of The Servant Who Calls Herself Mommy’s blog again.. But I don’t quite feel like myself right now. (Plus, it takes a LOT of coordination to suck a paci and type at the same time – you just have no idea.) […]
