(I just woke up, and feel almost completely back to normal! Yay! What a difference a day makes! I just wish that Day hadn’t been my birthday. Oh well – I’ll have a redo tomorrow – and really try to psych myself out that it’s the 9th!) Well, regarding Ali’s winnings (or really Ali’s Daddy’s […]
(insert your indignation here)
So. . . Chris and I have always had an affinity for entering into a good ole’ football squares game. He likes brackets during March Madness also, but since I hate basketball more than cleaning out the refrigerator, I don’t do brackets. We are not normally gambling people, but an office pool is always fun […]
Women’s Intuition Starts Young
I was changing Ali’s diaper Friday afternoon, and when I got the old one off, she threw her legs up to her head and said,” TEMP-ER-A-TURE!!” She had felt a little warm, and I had even been thinking about taking her temperature, so I followed her instructions and took it. Sure enough, she had a […]
If she wakes up screaming, at least I’ll know why. . .
Ali’s bedtime routine includes a bible story and prayers. She loves both, which is so wonderful. I love that she begs to read the bible and to pray! Ali has her own bible, a children’s bible, of course. She calls it “Ali Bible” (which sounds a just a little bit like “Ali Baba”). Being a […]

Caught
Late yesterday afternoon, Ali asked for some M&M’s. I knew that Daddy would be home soon, so I wanted to wait and let Daddy give them to her, so I told her that Daddy would give her some when he got home. However, the idea sounded appealing, so while she headed off to watch for […]
Silly Shoes
I have been very, very fortunate to be the beneficiary of an extremely large collection of baby and toddler clothes, socks, shoes, etc that have descended from a long line of wonderful cousins. And when I say large, I mean large. My cousin (the one that was the latest possessor of and greatest contributor to […]
Deception and Parenting
I know, I know, I know. Everyone always says to always be 100% honest with your children. But I certainly remember my Dad’s “magic powder” that made every boo-boo feel better. He ALWAYS had some in his pocket. Who wouldn’t have magic powder if it makes a child immediately feel better? I have noticed lately […]
