Start with a Three Week Old Baby: Who, despite his preciousness, does not sleep good on Friday night, therefore also adding in one Very-Sleep-Deprived-Three-Weeks-Post-Partum-Mommy. On Saturday morning, stir in a Four Year Old’s Birthday, starting and ending with complete sugar overload: (Sugar Overload shown in recipe provided by Krispy Kreme and my amazingly talented friend […]
Four.
Today is your last day of being three, something you’ve been counting down to for weeks, if not the entire year! You learned and grew a lot this year, including working on your sporting abilities, …but really realizing that it was much more fun to just sit and have girl time. Your need-for-organization-and-categorization (which you […]
O Lego Town of Bethlehem…
On the Saturday that I went into labor with Noah, Chris and Ali set out on an epic undertaking, combining Chris’ favorite Daddy activity with the Holiday Season… In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. And everyone went to their own town to […]
Christmas in Images.
I do hope to be back to my “regular” blogging schedule at some point in the near future, but there’s something about having major abdominal surgery plus complications (and having staples still in your belly from it – very chafing if you wondered), being in the hospital for five days, having a brand new member […]
The Second Annual Holiday Shopping (Un)Guide.
It’s that time again…the time that all of the crazy baby catalogs in my mailbox have to move over to make room for all of the even crazier toy catalogs. I seriously just need to put a dumpster out front – the mailbox just isn’t cutting it. And, since I wrote you a shopping guide […]
Pumpkin Fever.
Our week has been pretty low-key, thanks to a fever virus that Ali contracted quite suddenly at 2am Monday morning. Although, if a kid’s gonna get sick, I prefer the fever virus over all other ailments, because, a) parents/other adults seem to be completely immune to it, b) there are no other awful side effects […]
Mail-Order Baby.
There is indisputable proof that the moment a woman conceives, a magical bulletin is immediately sent to every baby and children’s retailer in the world. She wakes up the next morning, as of yet unaware that she is with child, only to be completely puzzled by the stuffed state of her mailbox – full of […]
Football and Kid’s Market: Two Different Forms of Crazy.
So Saturday Football did not disappoint. I mean regarding my Scavenger Hunt, of course – what, you thought I was talking about the game?? It was good too. The “interesting” fans were out in full force. Amanda B. did quite well on the Scavenger Hunt, and Green Door Girl did a fabulous job creating an […]
Alabama Gameday Fashion Photo Scavenger Hunt.
We get to Tuscaloosa on Saturdays bright and early in the morning, regardless of game time. And so, on late gamedays like this coming up Saturday, I have plenty of time to photograph the oddities people watch. And believe me, Gameday Fashion offers a LOT of people watching opportunities. And since I love a good […]
Across My Path as of Late.
Need a great Daycare? In Birmingham, we have only the best: …I bet those kids take GREAT naps. We were browsing through the baby section the other night and ran across belly mold kit – you know, so you can always remember exactly how gargantuan pregnancy makes you. Although we didn’t buy it, we learned […]
