Back to School Giveaway Week, Day Two: Before CandyMan and I had kids, we spent nearly every evening playing board and card games together. When we got together with our friends, we played games with them, too. And so it stands to reason that now that our kids are old enough to join in, we…
Apparently, I’ve Become THAT Kind of Mother
I was doing so well sending the kids off to school this morning. Everyone woke up at a reasonable hour (meaning, no one refused to wake up), everyone ate a good breakfast and got dressed in clean clothes. Hair was brushed. Shoes were put on. Pictures were taken. And then, I got a text message….

This week will be full of fun and lots of great prizes (including my first ever photo editing giveaway….a la Lolli…try it….
Getting Our Craft On! PhotoStory Friday
I am not a party-thrower. I love attending parties. When someone else is in charge of setting up and cleaning up. So the fact that I threw a party for a handful of friends just days before school went back into session was huge. And guess what? I survived. And we had fun. We got…
The Face of a Happy Child
This is the face of a child eating a Happy Meal (she doesn’t get to eat those very often!). This is the face of a happy child. This is the face of a child enjoying her mama’s undivided attention. A child with an unexpected, spontaneous 3 hour mommy-daughter date. This is the face of a…
Knock, Knock! Mommy, Are you There?
Effective parenting means taking the time to listen and to understand the hearts of our children so that we can grow together in faith, friendship, and love. This video was a great reminder to me of what I need to do more often. Here’s to a happy, unplugged Sunday.
Pink and Black Do Not Go Well Together
My room was dark. I was awakened by CandyMan, my husband, calling my name. I was vaguely aware that he had gotten out of bed earlier to go running. I was happy to stay in bed and sleep for a few extra….precious….minutes. My bed was warm and the house was cold. The kids would still…
Joy
What brings me joy? How to answer that question? The trouble is that the answer might be different every day, depending on my mood and circumstances. Some days, listening to the rain fall outside brings me joy. Other days, the hot sun shining down on me makes me happy. Babies make me happy. I loved…
Best of BlogHer 2010
I think I have finally made it through looking at all of the pictures I took at BlogHer. Hmm. I take that back. Half of the pictures I took at BlogHer were taken on one of my fabulous roommate’s cameras. There just wasn’t any sense in taking 3 of the same shots everywhere we went….
I Heart New York – PSF
I’m blogging now from the Hilton in New York City, where I’ve already exhausted myself had SO much fun meeting my blogging friends. The bloggers here in New York City are different than I was expecting. Wetter, in fact. Actually, we are all wet and sweaty from the extreme heat and humidity here today. Hot…
