Some things are just Not Right…

Watch the attached video and you’ll see what I mean….  Geez, I feel bad for this little boy and his six-pack!  The greatest insult of the video is when all his siblings are dancing to R&B music in the background while he is busy burning off his 1.2% body fat! Talk about a lean, mean, [...]

Grinning from ear to ear

Last night after dinner, Jon was plugging away on paperwork at the kitchen table and I was watching David Gray music videos online.  I decided to check out David Grays website out of curiosity and boredom.  I clicked on the tab stating TOURS and discovered that he will be playing in San Francisco in 2 [...]

Harvest fun

I love Saturdays that are pleasant with my daughter.  I phrase it like this because she is 4 years old and Saturdays are not always pleasant.  Today however was quiet enjoyable!  Last night we baked amazing cookies so this morning we were in the fall mood!  The day started with Claudia wanting to send a present to her [...]

Cookies a four year old can make…

One of my favorite things to do with my daughter is to bake together!  I enjoy doing this for a few reasons.  First, it’s fun.  Second, it’s pretty inexpensive and doesn’t involve video games!  Lastly, I worry cooking/baking could become a lost art with so many convenient options in the market for us to grab and throw in our microwaves.  [...]

You CAN judge a book by it’s cover!

I am such a girl.  I have a weakness for adorable girlie things.  That is a huge reason why Etsy is on my top list of websites to visit often to look, dream, want, but hardly ever purchase.  I would KISS the botanist that created a tree where $$ grew on it! While reading a [...]

Currently in October

I have stolen this fun post from my fellow blogger, whom I draw much inspiration from JustATitch Current Books: I just finished Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn.  It was a really fun book, about an 18-year-old girl who lives on the fictional island of Nollop off the coast of South Carolina. Nollop was named [...]

Cold Pumpkins

The other day my daughter and I were driving in the car after purchasing some tiny pumpkins for our Autumn decor.  Claudia was carefully holding her pumpkin when she stated, “Mommy, the pumpkin is kind of cold to touch.” “Really, let me feel it”, I said. She handed me the pumpkin and I agreed that [...]

Fat Calves

Fat calves.  That is the topic of the hour.  Apparently Elle Magazine has declared tall boots the most fashionable thing to own this fall.  That is terrific!  I want to be fashionable, but apparently my genes don’t.  Yes, that’s right.  I have fat calves!  I have tried to find a pair of boots that will [...]

Seasons change…

It has been a while since I’ve last wrote. I’m still new to this blogging world and it can be a little overwhelming! A lot has happened in my life in the ±6 weeks… In the world around me the leaves are changing colors and falling to the ground, Autumn making its statement. Personally, I [...]
