The Life Of The Party

February 28, 2011

Facebook reminds me of a big, flippin’ party with lots of different guests. I imagine all 600+ of my Facebook friends wandering around a big room holding various drinks in their hands trying to talk above all the noise. There are those who are party poopers and those who are party animals. Then you have party planners [...]

X — Marks the Spot

February 25, 2011

McDaddy is out of town again this week and it is quiet in our house. The boys are asleep and I’m doing my nightly blog post from the couch while watching American Idol. A week like this one is not rare for us, but it never gets easier. McDaddy is no doubt saving the world one control system at [...]

Thursday Thirteen – The Last

February 24, 2011

While peddling cookie dough on the Facebook tonight for Stevie’s school, I ran across a status update from a friend that said, “WV girls on Toddlers and Tiaras” tonight.  Oh snap, Ryan Seacrest will have to wait, because ohmyword, the drama?!?! I flipped the buttons on the TiVo remote in a hot minute looking for [...]

You Capture – The Letter L

February 23, 2011

It’s another one of those weeks where I’m living by a list, which translates into I’M SLAMMED THIS WEEK. The PTA is kicking off a cookie-dough fundraiser today. The book-fair is this week. There are popcorn popping duties on Thursday. The laundry overfloweth. I am hoping to travel with McDaddy next week on business, which requires [...]

What I Learned This Week

February 22, 2011

Guess what? The mousetraps are still sitting empty. AND, we have not seen a trace of the little sucker since that fateful night. But I’m not here to talk about that. Instead, I’m here to share what I’ve learned this week. In no particular order, may I present what I learned this week: 1. If [...]

Welcoming Visitors

February 21, 2011

I am a huge fan of the Google. In fact, I most recently consulted Google regarding the best way to catch a mouse, and then again just a few days later when researching pinewood derby cars. Even at eight and five, our boys will tell you that Google is a trusted name in our home. Google is also a great [...]

The Way I See It

February 17, 2011

Back in 2006, I had my eyes lasered. Eighteen days after surgery I had better than perfect vision. It was, and remains, the best money I ever spent. Five years later, I still see very clearly, though if I’m being honest I’d have to say the thirty and seven years I have working against me have probably [...]

Thursday Thirteen – Random Road

February 17, 2011

Back when McDaddy was deployed, I made the decision to use Thursday Thirteen as a way to count down the weeks. He was gone for 26 weeks and so it made sense to use the 26 letters in the alphabet to work my way through the alphabet. Every week closer to “Z” also meant another week closer [...]

God’s Heart For Me

February 15, 2011

Several weeks ago I had the opportunity to review an item from (in)courage and Dayspring. I received a beautiful piece of jewelry and I just knew I was going to love it. The necklace – a beautiful unique conversation piece – is called “God’s Heart For You” and I love the message behind it. Engraved [...]
