To: Stevie and Alex From: Your Mama Date: April 7, 2011 RE: Just So You Know Dear Boys, What a crazy busy, exciting month it’s been around here.

Made From Scratch

April 5, 2011

Remember when I was screaming like a crazy person yesterday that it was 86 degrees here in Charleston? I’ll just have you know that I had no business making a grand announcement like that because today? Today, the high was 53 degrees. Which makes for a very cold baseball practice. And a numb butt. I [...]

I Love My Job

March 22, 2011

Thanks to muddy ballfields, I scrub mud from tennis shoes and cleats almost daily. I pick up countless hot-wheels every single day. There are transformers on the table and CARS color changers on the bathtub. I step on Legos and I admire drawings of Sonic the Hedgehog and his posse. I dodge paper airplanes that soar from our loft. I AM [...]

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 [...]

You Capture – Favorites Photos from 2010

January 6, 2011

The good news is, I spent most of New Year’s Day organizing every single photo on my laptop into descriptive folders. Because we really now how to party around here. The bad news is, there are so many favorite photos from 2010, I might not be able to narrow it down to ten. But I’ll sure try. Our [...]

You Capture – Halloween and Silence

November 3, 2010

I’ve got lots to show you this week, so I’ll just get right down to it and keep the mindless rambling to a minimum. But I will say that when I read that this week’s challenge was Halloween AND silence, SILENCE, mind you, I had to chuckle because me and the silence are not good [...]

Wild Animals

October 13, 2010

 I wasn’t sure I would be able to participate in this week’s You Capture challenge. For starters, I have a child who is allergic to all manner of animal hair and second of all, I can’t even remember to water a flower and keep it alive for more than five days, much less some sort [...]

October 7, 2010

To: The Dynamic Duo From: Your mama Date: October 8, 2010 RE: JUST SO YOU KNOW Dear Stevie, Well, after waiting seven L-O-N-G years, it has finally happened. That crooked, stubborn, front tooth that hung on and on finally met its demise when your old Sunday School teacher (who just loves to pull loose teeth) came at your [...]

Face To Face

October 6, 2010

I have a lot to smile about. As you may recall, I’ve been on an obsessive hunt for this cute soap from Bath and Body Works. Just look at all those scary faces! I ordered this on-line and couldn’t wait for it to arrive. Big orange pumpkin faces are so cute! And then there’s this sweet face, which [...]
