Notice anything different about my sweet, happy little boy? Well, unless you had spent the last few days in my house you wouldn’t know that he has been extremely whiny and fussy and clingy lately. Driving me crazy. Yes, this sweet little boy has been driving me bonkers.Apparently, he’s been driving everyone else a little…

Quotable Sunday–C.S. Lewis
This week, my book club met and discussed C.S. Lewis’ Mere Christianity and the Screwtape Letters. I loved our discussion…..and the fact that there were cool quotable sayings on every single page! Here are just a few that I gathered from Mere Christianity: The best of (human beings) will make mistakes; all of them will…
Anatomy of a winning photo
I was shocked and thrilled beyond words this morning to see that my photo of Twizzler WON the I ? Faces kids photo contest! What an honor, considering all of the incredible photographers who entered this week. Hello! There were 258 entries!! CandyMan was very proud of me when I told him, although his first…
Cocoa Rx
Chocolate gets rid of headaches, right? That’s what I’m going on tonight. And if it doesn’t get rid of my headache, then at least I’ll suffer happy. (-er)
The Ugly duckling and some crazy chicks
It’s a miracle, my friends. All of the kids went to school today! After 2 weeks of not leaving the house in daylight hours, I went out!! I picked up my sister and niece at the metro station and we planned a day of play. Unfortunately, the two little kids, AJ–age 3, and Nessa–age 2,…
Flashback to Winter 1992

How many times have you said the words, “Say Cheese!” or heard another photographer say those words? And how many times have you ended up with…

Thousand Word Thursday, baby style
Remember how I mentioned that I was going through old pictures to make a slide show for Twizzler’s 8th birthday. There are so many pictures that aren’t on my newer Mac, and I don’t see them often enough. I came across these pictures yesterday. If ANY pictures are worth a thousand words, these are. First,…
A difficult decision, a leap of faith, and Peanut Butter
I loved MamaKat’s writing prompts this week and spent quite a bit of time tonight thinking about where I could go with each one. I haven’t been feeling very inspired lately, most likely due to my being home-bound for nearly two full weeks. Thursday marks the 10th straight school day that I have had at…
