Clean socks are a privilege, not a right
This is me right now, but with yoga pants and an Old Navy cardigan. I have NO energy. I have been sick with coughs and colds since BEFORE Christmas and I feel WORSE now than I did then. Tara has been hacking away too. I did get her on antibiotics and I think […]
We love Phineas and Ferb. It is one of those cartoons that is clever enough for adults, yet safe and entertaining for kids. The dry humor and crazy song lyrics make for laugh out loud episodes for young and old. Needless to say, we were VERY curious to hear more about a touring LIVE show. […]
Tara is now two and a half. Time to shop for a big girl bed. We are looking at bunk beds to help with the tight confines of the room she shares with her big sister. But (I suppose) this time the crib won’t be disassembled and stored away until “next time.” There won’t […]
After her shocking last breathes in my arms in the back of the car last Thursday, I am not really ready to write about her or what happened. It is still unreal and simply put..the house is empty without her. Instead..here are a few posts from the blog that have been about her and her […]

We are getting to the fingernail biting time of trying to finish your shopping – BUT! But if you have a few tween and preteen girls on your list and are near a Michael’s, who carry this line, these are good products to grab. We received the Ribbon Barrette Maker and the Friendship Bracelet Maker from […]
I honestly can’t think of anything more frustrating. I attended the kids Christmas concert this morning. Yes, with Tara.
