I am earning a new Mommy Scouts badge over here. And not one that I want to earn.Yup, the dreaded “My Toddler Has a Stomach Virus” Merit Badge. Ali woke up during naptime crying. I went upstairs pat her back and tell her to go back night-night (happens a lot during naptime). But once I […]
When it Rains, it Pours Creamer and Coke.
I’ve got some absolutely adorable pictures to show you of our fun this weekend, but first I’m going to tell you about my last two hours. Because it’s my blog and I want to. First, the background: So as coincidence would have it, while I was over here in Atlanta having good girlfriend times with […]

Fool Me Twice. . .
Okay. So you remember my pledge against designer jeans after my first pair ever (that I bought for $22 – 90% off) shredded in 6 months? And then remember how all of YOU kept going on in the comments about how GREAT designer jeans are and how I must have just gotten a bad pair […]
A Sadly Tasty Curse.
Did you ever watch “Northern Exposure” in the early 90’s? Well, you should have. I did, but only vaguely remembered it (since I was like, uh, 9 years old when it started), but remembered enough to know that it was a fun show with super-quirky characters. So Chris (who had never seen it) and I […]
It Must Be Heartburn.
I’m feeling very odd today. Actually, I have felt bad all week. It all started Monday with waves of nausea all day long. Obviously, I took a pregnancy test, and it was negative. On Tuesday, I woke up with a sore throat, fever, aches, chills, extreme sleepiness AND nausea. The nausea got so bad by […]
And You Wonder Why I Don’t Have More. . .
I went to lunch with Jennifer and her three kids today. We had a great time, and Ali looooved getting to see “Amy Beff”, until I was holding her, then she didn’t like it so much (she kept saying “Amy Beff Scare you”, but what she meant was “I’m really jealous of Amy Beth”). I […]
An Order of Mini-Blogs.
I saw a little girl around Ali’s age and her Daddy at the grocery store yesterday. She had on a new and shiny dressy brown and pink polka dotted shoe on her left foot, and a raggedy old tennishoe on her right foot. Being that the tennishoe was taller than the dress shoe, she was […]
I Swear That This Sweater Didn’t Look Straight from 1986 When it was Hanging on the Rack. . .
When paired with the rest of the coordinating “Children’s Place” fall collection, this sweater looked hip, colorful, and cool. It was too big for Ali when I bought it, so I tried it again last week and it fit. Only now, the memory of it’s coordinating collection has faded from my mind and all that […]
Satan the Squirrel: Quantum of Solace
So what could be worse than a squirrel chewing through my shower wall while I was in the shower? The squirrel coming back, of course. Once a squirrel has shown that he is able to EAT your HOUSE at will, there is nothing that chills your bones as hearing that horrible chewing noise. Termites? That’s […]
