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…
I’ve Got My Sister With Me
Francesca of Three Bay B Chicks here today. On Laura’s last day of vacation, she allowed me the pleasure of hijacking her blog. Rather than writing my own introduction, I’ll just say that I hope Laura doesn’t regret giving me this type of power… As I sat with my sister, Gianna, at an outdoor cafe…
R.I.P. Dear Red One
After I woke up yesterday, I made my way to the refrigerator for my morning glass of Instant Breakfast and, out of habit, glanced out the kitchen window to gaze at my lone red tomato. She was becoming more red and more plump daily. Just the evening before, I had contemplated picking her, but figured…
The New Craze in Gardening
Forget the backyard garden plot. Forget buying fertilizer and watering daily. Weeding? It’s a thing of the past. The gutter! It’s the new craze in gardening. No need to water. Great access to sunlight. Low up-keep! I am going GREEN! A few weeks ago, I looked upward when walking into my house and noticed green…
Not Me. The Printer.
Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week. Boy, do I have a good one for you. It’s absolutely pitiful when life happens, and all I think about is how good…
Living the High Life as a Pirate’s Mother
Inspired by one of MamaKat’s writing prompts today, I decided to interview AJ in the car on the way to pick up the big kids. Here’s how our interview went (I wrote it down on the back of a grocery store receipt while I was waiting for the kids to be done. I didn’t want…
When Animals Attack
A word from Lolli: This post was written by my husband, CandyMan. I haven’t seen him enjoying anything lately quite as much as tonight, when I suggested that he write today’s story in a blog post. Enjoy! When we were in college, we discovered a new show – “When Animals Attack.” It was the cheesiest…
If I Were a Butterfly…..
This came home in Twizzler’s back pack today. He is way too literal for his own good. We need to work on his imagination…. The prompt: If I were a butterfly, I would…. His response: Fly as much as I wanted, drink nectar a lot, mate and get married, lay eggs, then die.
What’s in YOUR fruit punch?
Yesterday, by the time the kids got home from school, I was practically passed out on the family room arm chair. I haven’t been able to figure out why I have been sooooo tired and–I don’t know–simply not feeling myself. My eyes have felt weighed down. I’m not thinking straight. I have a constant ache…
I’ve Already Lost All My Dignity.
So what harm will another embarrassing picture do? Bring it on! Tonight after dinner, we read some stories while Necco braided my hair. And then we put some music on. Loud. And we danced. Our night’s activities were actually inspired by a Fishful Thinking Ingredient Activity. Mood music. We explored how different kinds of music…
