Really Cute Homemade Valentines

February 1, 2012

Last year, I created some great Valentine cards for the boys. I have never been a huge fan of the little character Valentines because the boys end up ripping half of them just trying to get them separated. So when I saw several versions of these cute homemade Valentines in Blogville, I decided to give it a shot even [...]

Me, My Boy, and The Girls

January 9, 2012

I remember the night well. It was a Sunday, and it was approximately 7:30 P.M. when we walked through the door with him. I remember looking at him, and then back at McDaddy and asking, “Well, now what do we do?” Our household had just grown by two feet, and we were the proud [inexperienced] [...]

Letting Your Life Speak

January 2, 2012

My favorite thing about the start of a new year, is a brand spankin’ new, fresh calendar. A new year also seems like a perfect time to START anew, though, do we really NEED a brand new year to do that? Of course, we don’t NEED a new year to start new, but I suppose a [...]

Courageous

October 26, 2011

McDaddy and I are busy people. He is busy with work and I am busy with all manner of stuff and people and organizations. I was thrilled when he lined up a sitter for Alex and a ride to scouts for Stevie so we could spend an evening together, on a date. We shopped for [...]

Everyday Is Payday

October 21, 2011

Before we got pregnant (and by we, I totally mean ME, except that it was a decision we made together), McDaddy and I decided that I would quit work once our baby was born. It was an easy decision, still, I knew it would take some getting used to. When I worked at the jail, I shared an office [...]

Room With A View

July 24, 2011

I am typing this post from a fourth floor room at a hotel in Pennsylvania. The boys and I are tagging along with McDaddy on a business trip, which we often do during summer vacation. One of my first things to do when we arrive at the hotel, is to look out the window to [...]

Mother’s Day Miracles

May 9, 2011

I had a glorious Mother’s Day weekend with my people. And even though I did not take this shot, I set it up for my dad and then had to talk him through the process fifteen times, so I had to include it. I kicked off the weekend with one of my favorite activities – [...]

Learning As I Go

April 12, 2011

McDaddy and I attend a lovely little church. It is a small Bible believing, God fearing, non-denominational church. In our Sunday school class (Foundations) this past week, our Pastor’s wife (Susie) taught a wonderful lesson on parenting. She is a licensed [middle school] counselor and mother of four boys. She gave some really good parenting tips and at times [...]

The Joy Of My Life

March 8, 2011

I spent most of the day sitting at my dining room table with three other PTA mothers processing cookie dough orders. It was the second fund-raiser of the year for Stevie’s school and was necessary because the budget for this school year has not been met. After processing 168 orders ($23,000) I am pleased to say our fund-raising [...]
