my thoughts on motherhood, kids, books and stuff
I have to admit that Brett is the far more organized half of us. The computer room looks so much better and when I get into the closet now I don’t have miscellaneous toys, books, dvd’s, or empty boxes or bags fall on my head. I would post a “before” and “after”, but since I [...]

My son Lincoln is having a party for his 4th birthday next week. I have never really thrown a “friends” birthday party for the kids yet and I hadn’t really planned on starting them yet for Lincoln yet. I figured we would just take the kids to Chuckee Cheese or have his cousins and Aunt [...]

This is my three year old son Lincoln’s: “Once upon a time it was Christmas and we were throwing snowballs and we hit a car. And then somebody hit another car. He hit somebody. HE throwed snowballs on the floor. And [...]

I love to do puzzles. I especially love to do puzzles around the holidays. As a little girl I would cover my parents huge dining room table from end to end with finished puzzles between Christmas and New Year’s and I always got a few puzzles as gifts each year. After I was married I [...]

When I was a little girl Christmas was always a magical time of year that I looked forward to more than anything. My Mom was a decorating enthusiast and our house was always red and green from floor to ceiling. I remember one year that we had at least six trees in the house. Some [...]
