I remember saying once I wanted to be a veterinarian. Then I realized I had to give animals shots. I’m positive I wanted to be a princess before I found out I was a commoner and all the princesses lived overseas. At certain points I wanted to be a mom and wife (hey I got … [Read more…]
Go HERE and read her article. If you’re pregnant or nursing or sensitive.. have a tissue. I’ll wait… okay. Did it make you cry? When I read it, tears fell heavy into my lap. No sobs, just heavy tears. I feel like this is a life changer. Or it should be. I want it to … [Read more…]
Hey this is me with my head above the water! Woohoo! I mean granted the baby did this whole ‘up half the night’ thing and the bags under my eyes each clearly have 3 packed suitcases as if they’re going to Florida and want to be extra prepared, but.. you know. Bygones. (Ally McBeal reference … [Read more…]
So…. I’ve had a cyst on the corner of my eye for like 3? 4? years. Even I hadn’t noticed how big it had gotten. Usually I have on big thick glasses. So…you just don’t see it. My doctor did a double take at it and suggested I have it removed before it starts blocking … [Read more…]
My computer was out of commission for a while doing some picture updates (back ups, etc).. so I didn’t post over the long weekend. I’m bummed about that, but I have a short window here while the kids watch tv and the baby naps to blurt some things out. So on Memorial day, after thinking … [Read more…]
Last week was EPIC as far as cloth diaper drama. From shaming and dragging people’s kids into it, to outright bullying and internet policing by manufacturers. I’ll say this much, the cloth diaper world was the last place I would have expected to see this all go down. So, for a little lighthearted fun, I’ve … [Read more…]
As I was washing windows for the first time in oh… a year.. I was thinking about my mom. How she said that the minute she cleaned, we’d run up to the sparkling windows, press our fingers and noses on the glass and say ‘PRETTY MOMMY!’ I wondered how long these clean windows would last … [Read more…]
Sorry, I went a little 1990’s on you there. You’re welcome. I’ve been thinking for a while now that it’s been 10 years since the ’90’s’…hmmm. All the music and etc. that I loved is now somewhere in the neighborhood of 15-20 years old. Good Lord. That means they’re ‘classics’… *shudder* I officially understand why … [Read more…]
Lately, I feel like all I do is sit fences. One foot on one side. One foot on the other. Listening to the rodeo on one side, and the audience on the other. Sure there’s all manner of each type of folk-from clown (shudder) to gentry. I just don’t know enough about any one topic … [Read more…]
We LOVED this book! Loved. I found it on some list or another, and was so thrilled once we got it that we did. I’ve renewed it twice so I could get a chance to write the review, which is going to include copying down a lot of quotes out of the book for myself. … [Read more…]
