I’m not sure if I’d be smiling if there was a squishy frog on my back. Ick. My big girl is at a sleep away camp for the rest of the week. She gets back the day before I leave for my trip to my mom’s house, so we’re apart for 2 weeks. That’s the…
This is the Award My Kids Would Give Me
I recently met a blog friend, Jill, at a local park. While there, Jill handed me her blog card. The card had the following picture on the front: I slipped the card in my camera case, where it sat for a few weeks. Last week, I emptied out the front pocket of my camera case…
Can I Book My Flight Tomorrow?
It’s about this time, every year, that I get to the point where I’m not sure if I can take any more. It’s not that I don’t enjoy my life as a mother of 5, a start-up business owner, and wife to a very hard-working man. I do. I am blessed. But sometimes (every August…
What Am I Going To Do With This Kid?
AJ has developed a few very odd habits lately. When he first made this odd sound with his throat, I figured it was a fluke, or a way to get everyone to laugh (he’s the classic age for craving attention). But he has continued. He makes the noise most frequently in the afternoon when he’s…
Lunch Date at Wendy’s
One of the things I will treasure the most about this summer is the time that I’ve had one-on-one with AJ, my four year old. For some reason, time together in the summer feels completely different than time together during the school year. Possibly because there seems to be so much more (fun stuff) to…
Give Me Your Best Shot – Planter
Is this what the doctor meant when he said I had Plantar Fasciitis? Ok, maybe not….Maybe this was just one of the fun pictures I took in Pennsylvania last week. I walked by this clever planter and had to stop for a picture. What have you been photographing this week? I’d love to see your…
I’m No Arachniphobe
I was uninspired this morning (at least in blogging terms) until I saw the spider dangling from a thin web above my bed. When I saw the spider hanging over the place where I had just finished sleeping, I knew what I could write about. It was MamaKat’s last writer’s workshop prompt that came to…
Are You Ready? It’s Back to School Time….
In respect of full disclosure, I wanted to start off by mentioning that this post was sponsored by Sears. However, all the opinions and words are mine. Could it really be time to start thinking about back to school? Could the summer really be nearly over? (we’re not excited or anything….) Despite our love for…
BlogHer 2010, Here I Come!!
Pinch me!I just won a full trip to BlogHer 2010 from Mabels Labelswith Kim (aka PrairieMama) !! On the last day of BlogHer09, I got an email from a blogging friend of mine, Kim, letting me know that she had entered the two of us in the Mabels Labels Wish You Were Here BlogHer 2010…
What Little Boys’ Dreams Are Made Of
Two years ago, we took a ride on this same train. AJ was 2 at the time, and he did NOT like the 45 minute train ride. He cried himself to sleep. We were all a little worried about how he’d react to a second trip on the Strasburg Railroad. So far so good….. We…
