Many of this week’s favorite shots were taken during my recent trip to New York City. Especially the gorgeous Goldfish centerpieces. Love them!

I have mentioned here and there about the incredible opportunity I have been offered to speak at the upcoming Casual Blogger Conference at the end of May. Since a few people have been asking me about it, I thought I’d give everyone a little run-down on this incredible conference. You can find more information on…

Fishful in New York

A few years ago, if you had asked me what I envisioned for the year 2010 I would have said, “More of the same.” Honestly, for me motherhood has been a lot of the same routine, day in and day out. Month after month and year after year. Motherhood has its highs and its lows,…

Tuesday, March 2, 2010 by Lolli 14 Comments

Visit my co-host, Manic Mother!

My Kids Have Never Seen the Olympics

Monday, March 1, 2010 by Lolli 13 Comments

I’ve heard that the Olympics have been going on the last few weeks. Every once in a while, like when I check my Yahoo mail, or when I am listening to the radio in the car, I am reminded of the big event that has been going on this Winter. I had to do a…

Here It Goes Again…

I am spending the day with my sister and niece (who I haven’t seen since October!!) and sorting 200 boxes of Girl Scout cookies that Necco sold this season. It’s a busy and WONDERFUL day. For your viewing pleasure…..A video that everyone should watch: I have super-exciting news, and can’t do it justice today, but…

Thoughtful Boy, Silly Boy – GMYBS

Thursday, February 25, 2010 by Lolli 31 Comments

I don’t have much to say about my favorite pictures of my favorite boys this week. I enjoyed using my new/replacement 50mm lens, and caught AJ watching for the big kids to come home from school, as well as Twizzler blowing up a big yellow balloon. It’s been a busy week. The best part of…

Bella Notte. Bella Vita.

A year ago tomorrow: February 26, 2009. Reese and AJ shared a piece of spaghetti. My own little Lady and the Tramp. I love looking through my old pictures and remembering happy moments–the big moments as well as the small ones. I love that my kids love each other. I love that they do silly…

How often have you been sitting in a movie theater or in your own family room watching a DVD and had the thought: “My life is way more interesting than this!”? Have you ever been in the middle of a parenting catastrophe and imagined the scene acted out on the big screen? I certainly have….
