My Annual Recap

December 31, 2010

My long-time bloggy friend, Jo-Lynne from Musings of a Housewife is hosting a blog re-cap carnival (complete with a snazzy button) and I thought it would be fun to play along, just as I did last year when I posted My Year In Review. I’ll be looking back at the first line (or two, or three depending [...]

You Capture – Holiday Favorites

December 29, 2010

This might possibly be the most difficult You Capture post of all time. I say that because I have so many favorites it will be tough to select just a few. I’ll do my best to keep this short and sweet. And speaking of sweet… My favorite sweet treat this holiday season happens to be calling my [...]

When we moved into our home eight years ago, we found out pretty quickly that we had been blessed to move into a wonderful neighborhood surrounded by kind neighbors. During the Christmas holiday, we were surprised at the number of neighbors that showed up on our doorstep dropping off baked goods, ornaments, chex-mix, and gifts [...]

What I Learned This Week

December 28, 2010

I have very little patience. Which is very funny because McDaddy wrote the book on patience. In the past week, my patience has been tested. And then tested some more. I learned a lot in the process and I thought this would be as good a place as any to share it with you, my [...]

A Whole Lot About Nothing

December 26, 2010

So. Christmas 2010 is but a fleeting memory. I am reclined on the big, blue, bloggy couch and Alex is playing quietly at my feet with a CARS rug and another set of the CARS clan. As if he needed ANOTHER set of CARS cars.McDaddy and Stevie climbed aboard the heap, ahem! I mean Jeep [...]

A List Of Things

December 24, 2010

A list of things straight from my brain, because that seems easiest. 1. The boys are in the floor battling Sonic the Hedgehog against Transformers. I love having boys and I love that they are awesome playmates. 2. Which reminds me that I could have called this blog ‘From Inmates To Playmates’ and probably doubled [...]

I love everything about Christmas. Especially the cute little gems I happen on at the Wal-Mart that scream TAKE ME HOME! From as long as I can remember Christmas was a magical time for me. Bright festive colors, the hustle and bustle, pretty wrapping paper, Christmas plays, A Christmas Story, baking, holiday cheer. You name it, I love it. [...]

Christmas Party Game

December 22, 2010

I am shopped out. Worn out. And just plain spent. My afternoon was spent baking cookies and goodies to pass out to friends and neighbors, along with an hour or so at Stevie’s school for his class Christmas party. I’m almost embarrassed to admit that I thought Stevie had one more day of school before Christmas break. [...]

In at attempt to win the cookie exchange crown and 2010 title, I prepared five dozen lemon chewy cookies to participate in a cookie exchange. Just have a look at all this [unfocused] cookie goodness.

Going For The Crown

December 19, 2010

In case you’re wondering, I feel like my head my explode at any moment. On top of that my nose is raw from wiping it approximately 4,821 times today. Give or take two or three. Plus, I’ve been preparing breathing treatments for Alex all day because he must have been on the same train with [...]
