What’s That Sound is a series of my second child’s most recent quotes. (And no, this isn’t unfair to my first child – she got her own series.) It’s the most Mommy-Bloggified thing I do, but how else am I going to remember? One morning at breakfast, it went down like this… “Thank you Jesus […]

The Lullabies of Our Life.
So I’ve mentioned once or twice that we prefer a more eclectic selection of pre-bed singing to Noah. (And formerly to Ali, but she’s way too mature for such a thing now.) Because you can only sing their requests of “Dora Dora Dora the Explorer” so many days in a row before you start to […]
A Peek Into Our Schoolhouse.
We have now completed four weeks of first grade. Which is like, nothing. But for whatever reason, it makes all the difference. That’s the strange thing about homeschooling – you really have no idea how the family dynamics will work each year until you actually start, then at least you know what you’re dealing with. […]
Regarding a Summer Love Affair with YouTube.
I’ve never been a YouTube sort of girl. Sure, I use it to suit my own purposes, uploading videos for blogs and then immediately logging off. But watch other videos? No. Search for stuff? Never. Until I had a son. A son obsessed with all things containing wheels. Noah needed to see tractors. His fire […]
Supporting Fair Trade With Green Mountain Coffee {Giveaway!}
My Keurig® changed my life. Okay maybe not my entire life, but at least the first few hours of my days. I love the ease, the speed, and the variety with which it provides me life-giving coffee. And, with regards to the variety, I might be a bit over-the-edge OCD. In fact, my husband measures […]

The Foreign Universe of The South.
I do adore Project Runway. As long as Tim Gunn is there, I will be a lifelong fan. (Same goes for Sofia the First. He’s the star of that show and Sofia knows it.) However, last week’s episode was a tiny bit perplexing, and has made me seriously rethink the perception that the rest of […]
Fashion Statements of Fact.
Since his debut onto the fashion scene in August, Noah has discovered that he has much more to offer. And so he’s back, explaining in detail the intricacies of toddler clothing and more. He realizes that exposing the world to his impressive depth of knowledge runs the risk of making him the go-to guy for […]
How To Stay Dry in the Rain.
1. Steal your sister’s junk-hoarding bucket. 2. When she catches you, act like you did nothing wrong and didn’t even realize she was chasing you. 3. Steal your sister’s other junk-hoarding bucket. 4. Skip around in the rain, satisfied at your complete dryness. 5. But beware – rain is slippery. 6. Don’t fall. 7. If […]
75 Ways to Get Guilted on Facebook.
This list started months ago as a text vomit stream between my friend Ashley and me. And we decided that the world should be allowed into our heads. How can Facebook give you a Guilt Trip? Let us count the ways. 1. By buying organic. It’s too expensive and you’re selfishly robbing money for your […]
