Birmingham is the home of a lot of very talented musicians, and at the top of that list are the artists involved with Red Mountain Music. Red Mountain Music is a group of musicians from the community that come together and make stunning and modern arrangements of little-known hymns. The hymns are so deep in […]
Widening Your Blog’s Appeal
….Also known as “The Post Which Makes Me Sick at My Stomach With Nervousness”. I have had several people ask me recently to write a post of advice on how to gain more readers for their blogs and how to take their blog to “the next level”. Now I must say that writing “How-To” posts […]
Ninja Resultage
So I haven’t reviewed my Ninja yet because I’ve been too busy playing with it for the last few weeks and trying to put everything into practice that I learned about it in New York. I’ve found what I like and what I don’t like to use it for, but overall love it! The first […]
Mosaically Speaking…and a Giveaway – over $100 Value!
One of our local toy stores is going out of business, and they have had all of their inventory at 50% off for the last few months. (It’s almost all gone now, or I would tell you about it.) (Scratch that. If that were true, I would have told you about it a few months […]
I’m Going to be a Ninja When I Grow Up.
Today was The Big Event, aka the reason that I am in New York City. The event was held at the breathtaking Mandarin Oriental Hotel right in front of Central Park: We were on the 35th floor, and the views were magnetic to all of our over-eager blogger cameras: Only problem: The dang glass (note […]

The Deadliest Catch…terpillar?

The Study of Styling the Curly Haired Toddler by a Straight Haired Mom.
It has taken me 28 months to conquer this art. Okay, maybe not that long. After all, she didn’t enough hair to curl up or spazz out until about 12 months. So it has taken me 16 months. But I believe that I have FINALLY discovered how to “fix” Ali’s hair. No longer will she […]
Kid’s Market and Shopping for a Toddler
We are back and getting settled in! My list of to-do’s for this week is a mile long. . . augh! That’s the one tough part about vacation: getting back. However, the up-side is definitely seeing our baby again! Ali had TONS of fun with Gramamma and Pop, of which I’m sure Mom will provide […]
Either I Had a Moment of Culinary Genius or I’m Pregnant. . .
I was playing kitchen with Ali yesterday morning and reveling in the “genuineness” of her play food. I was having an internal monologue to entertain myself while she “fed” me all sorts of said food. . . Seriously. . . is that supposed to be a bagel or a doughnut?? And the Fried Chicken […]
