I’m having trouble concentrating on writing this post. I’m sitting on the bed during Ali’s nap, but totally distracted by the view out the window. No, not the ocean view. The other window. The five gray-haired guys (and one woman) sitting, drinking beer, in the KIDDIE POOL. It seems to me to be an inherent […]
Three Totally Rocks.
There are a lot of great things about Ali being the old age of three. No more cleaning poo out of diapers is most definitely towards the top of the list… Full and total communication – also nice (although sometimes it might get a bit TOO full and TOO continuous-ad-infinitum for my taste, but no […]
Free Summer Fun!! (Better Late Than Never.)
It’s become a running joke with my friend Ashley and I that every time we’re getting together, we always ask each other what New! and Exciting! Thing! we can do with Ali and AJ. Yet, we almost always end up back at the mall, or back at our favorite lunch places, or back at the […]
The First Step is Admitting That I Have a Problem.
If you are a Mom like me that has found quite a bit of lethargic pleasure in renewing your love of coloring thanks to having a coloring-aged-kid (even if you are also, like me, a serial crayon breaker), THEN YOU MUST GO TO TARGET RIGHT NOW. You have no idea the level of satisfaction – […]
A Peel Off The Old Onion.
Chris is known for his deep and sometimes murky analogies. They’re easy to get lost in, but if you find your way through their maze, you will find yourself stunned at their depth, and at how all of a sudden, they can actually make sense. I like watching faces when he periodically teaches our Sunday […]
Chauffeuring Royalty.
If you can hear my gasping for breath through this post, it’s because I’m running around the house trying to frantically finish up packing because my hubby has vacation fever and wants to leave tonight instead of tomorrow (which does have the benefit of no-during-nap car rides, so I’m not complaining a bit). We’re headed […]
Chiggeremedies and Chigger Pie
To help make Chiggerade out of our Chiggers, Ali and I made Black&Blueberry Pie with some of our pickin’s… Ali was especially proud of her butter pat pattern placement: And, since it’s the first time I’ve ever made a pie quite like this and I changed the recipe around a bit, I didn’t know if […]
Bumptastrophe.
Yesterday morning, I noticed some red bumps on Ali. Due to where they were, I assumed that it was a heat rash due to our hour and a half of blueberry picking in the extraordinarily hot Alabama sun the day before, but decided to keep an eye on them. By last night, they had quite […]
Random Pregnancy Updates, and Life Lessons from Glee.
For all (none) of you that have been waiting with baited breath to hear the exciting outcome of my doctor visit, my doctor did indeed have an Otoscope (thank goodness, no Torture Pappy Device needed), and said that I had a lot of pressure in my ears, but no infection. The cure he prescribed was […]
An iPhone Apology.
Dear Chris, For all of those times that I marveled at why you were STILL playing on your iPhone even though much more interesting things were going on… For all those times I snarkily laughed and rolled my eyes at all of the $0.99 iTunes charges on your credit card… For all those times where […]
