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 […]

They Listened, Alright.

Disclaimer: This post discusses things that are ultimately of zero importance whatsoever, and I am well aware of this. I hereby pre-apologize for my daily dose of shallowness. Ali has this habit…when she’s playing a game or sharing her snacks, she will ask me something along these lines: “Which one do you want, Mommy? The […]

NYC, From A (Blogger’s) Observation Deck

I’m back safe and sound in my happy little Birmingham now, after my grand adventures in The Big City. Having never been to New York City before, I learned a LOT. Some things that I learned were confirmations of the way I had always “heard” it was. The stereotypes of taxi drivers – totally true. […]

A Matter of Taste.

I learned that I buy more products that I don’t normally use and forget to use the coupons for the products I DO use at the grocery store, thereby […]

The Unfortunate Case of Frog Duck-Butt.

(For the record, I can’t pronounce the title of this blog without getting tongue twisted. Go ahead, try it – I bet you can’t either.) Yesterday, we had a blissfully wonderful Memorial Day family outing to the mall. Now, in Birmingham, although we DO have multiple choices, “The Mall” automatically means The Riverchase Galleria. It’s […]

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 […]
