There have been so many things I have wanted to write about this year, but I decided to put blogging on the back burner so I could focus on my job and family and attempt to keep myself sane. I would ...
Ellen graduated from high school! This is her class at Baccalaureate a week before they walked across the stage in their caps and gowns. Clay and I both cried when the slide show of Ellen’s bab...
Helllllooooooo. I sort of feel like I could strip naked and walk around in this blog without disturbing a sole, because I’m pretty sure the place has been vacated. I’m still without a co...
My computer died. I took it to the doctor. The doctor said, “Just think of this as an opportunity to upgrade.” I asked the doctor if he could save the photos. The doctor said, “Sure...
Look! I have decent photos of Seth. Of course you know I didn’t take these and as always I have my friend Mrs. Mama to thank for documenting my kids’ lives in good photos for me. Seth i...
My two little boys ask everyday, “Mom, do we have games tonight?” and they don’t mean are they playing a game, they mean, are we all traveling to a basketball game for their brother...
I know, I’m sorry….I’ve been a bad blogger. I thought I would share what I just downloaded from my camera and maybe you all can piece together the last few months of my life. Levi i...
Clay has been on vacation since Christmas. It’s really great having him at home, except for the massive piles he creates. Like this pile of Andes mint chocolate chip cookies, it’s not s...
Clay and I have been hunting for new jeans to replace the two pairs of shredded fabric he’s been wearing around for the past couple of months. I took the advice of a friend who is marri...
I have been watching episode after episode after episode of Grey’s Anatomy for the past several weeks. It’s my mind altering drug of choice. It’s been sucking all the difficult thin...
You know, my boys they get into EVERYTHING! A while back I thought it would be cute if I filled a little wooden box with feminine products and put it on a shelf that sits next to the toilette so all ...
I distinctly recall informing my older two children that if they should get a detention this year they would need to figure out how long it would take them to either ride a bike or walk the ten miles...
My family suffers greatly from dry skin, and it gets really bad during winter. The moment the heater is turned on, we all start to shrivel and flake. Finding the right remedies for our skin and hair ...
As we drove home from school she said to me, “Mom, why don’t you put on something cute and be in my pictures with me.” I refused because this was her day, her photo shoot, it was n...
Raise your hand if you’ve prepared a lot of turkeys in your life? Now keep your hand up if any of those turkeys were dry, and the only way to get your family to eat it was to disguise it as a p...
Oloh? Hello? This poor blog has been neglected hasn’t it? Yesterday was the wrap-up of four months worth of work on three events I planned for the little school my kids attend. This year it ...
I’m not a fan of dryer sheets. That’s a pretty big statement considering I decided to sign up to do a review for the new Bounce Dryer Bar. But, the bar is not a sheet. A pile of laundry a...
This is my sweet, dear friend Kiana giving Ellen some pointers before she started shooting her Senior pictures. I can’t believe this is her last year of high school. It’s crazy! It made...
If he wasnt so cute... This is my little slice of Hell year. Today I reached my melting point. I knew it would probably come, but I thought I might be able to power through it. Right now is the bu...
Salt This is Salt. My kids found her and another kitten abandoned in our barn when they were about 3 weeks old. I very reluctantly agreed to nurse them. Her brother’s name was Pepper because...
We’re headed to Missouri to meet up with our friends Bryan and Melanie for a long weekend. The problem is our friends have just returned from a very long vacation and are still recovering from...
My oldest son, Seth, is an idea person. He likes to reinvent everything. When we play games he’ll want to rewrite all the rules. When we’re trying to build something he’ll think ...
When my children were sweet tiny newborn babes I remember taking long whiffs of their heads and thinking I had just sucked in a small bit of Heaven. Fast forward 12 years and I found myself dealing w...
Clay and I tried to attend a Sunday school class on marriage the last couple of weeks because we love the teacher, but then we decided we couldn’t go for several reasons. 1. Clay said he...
Okay, sorry I haven’t called or written. I’ve been kinda bus-ay…k-k-k-kinda bus-say (I know, right? I’m all Lady Gaga on ya right now.) Where to start? The Boys or The Littl...
This is what I look at when I walk out onto our decaying porch. It’s supposed to be a brick path, but instead it’s a shallow grave. Yesterday, when Clay and I were outside trying to dec...
I started approximately four billion projects this summer and I finished exactly one. This one in fact. Recovering one of the many hand-me-down pieces of furniture we have. Have I ever complained a...
Standing on the decaying porch steps are my two oldest children heading out to conquer their first day of school. They had zero interest in posing for a nice photo for their dear old mom. One thing ...
This is Clay laughing at Gary and the dude on the end that you can’t see is Todd. You can read more about these three amigos in Clay’s Life. Clay and Gary have known each other si...
If you give a girl an apple peel… She’s going to want to play Lady and The Tramp with it and then… She’s going to want to jump rope with it. If you give a girl a piece of pie&...
