It’s been one of those weeks. We are still living with hand-foot-mouth. Henry came down with it Sunday and still has blisters on his hands today. So it’s been a long week of bouncing him back and forth between Andy and me. Restless nights, rearranging schedules, taking conference calls from home and trying to keep
A few weeks back I saw this cute idea on eighteen25. Egging someone. In a nice, Easter-egg type of way. And they even provided you a really nice free printable. Got to love those gals at eighteen25. So I can take no credit for this, head over there! So, of course I had to egg
As I’ve mentioned previously, traveling with toddlers is tricky. Especially when you are alone with them in the airport and on the plane. Especially when you have a thousand things to carry and your toddler (you know which one) has no patience, multiple tantrums, runs away, etc. I always feel the biggest sigh of relief
This afternoon we went to the pool at my dad’s complex. Charlotte was sporting her beloved puddle jumper and Stella tried out some new water wings. They are both extremely different in the water…Charlotte is a fish and Stella screams in horror when the first water droplet hits her face. We’ve battled this with Stella
Just opened some inter-office mail from a friend. A friend who knows me well. She had included this. The coaster says it all…I totally agree! Made my day…thanks friend! – Posted using BlogPress from my iPad

So many of you know me as such an extrovert and also very comfortable with myself. And I am…usually. But not always when I’m in a situation when I’m by myself…like when I’m traveling alone. So here’s the thing. I hate eating alone in restaurants. HATE. I feel like everyone around me looks at me
There are so many things going on right now that it’s hard to juggle it all. Almost like the crazy and devestating storms that were nearby on Friday sent my world a bit out of kilter. I’ll just ask for comforting thoughts for a friend and healing thoughts for a relative. And lots of prayers for
Last year’s Ashes – no picture today! Yesterday a co-worker and I were talking about Lent. She stated something like “Oh, right, tomorrow’s the day you get dirty.” Um, what? Oh, ashes. Yep. Is that toner on your forehead, ma’am? Nope. It’s ashes. Ashes? Yep. (Conversation really happened when I lived in Alabama…not a
I am a complete sucker for the Trefoils (shortbread) Girl Scout Cookies. So when I got the call yesterday that my cookie order was in…and then realized it wasn’t Lent yet…OMG! I scheduled an immediate pick-up. And yes, when Andy and I sat down to watch the latest episode of How I Met Your Mother
Random thoughts today from a tired momma. Yes, I should be in bed. But I just got home and needed some wind-down time first. 1. At church school on Sunday one of Stella’s friends shared with her that her fish had died. My Stella is very sensitive and caring and so we thought it would be
