As we near the end of January (how did that happen so fast?!) it’s time to start thinking about the next big holiday. Valentine’s Day (cue the horror music) photo by Whipped Bakeshop on flickr CandyMan and I have never been very good at making Valentine’s Day special. In fact, my most memorable….no, my only…
A Year Ago Today, At Chick-fil-A
Do you ever go through your pictures and check out what you were doing a year ago exactly? I got curious tonight and checked out January 26, 2009. Last year, my mom had just come into town in preparation for my son’s baptism. When my mom comes to visit, we party. We shop. We laugh….
Everyone Needs an Alice
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Alice.com. All opinions are 100% mine. Remember Alice from the Brady Bunch? Of course you do. Alice did everything. As a kid, I remember wondering what it was that kept Carol Brady busy. Alice cooked, cleaned, shopped, was always there to stop the kids…
PBM Wins Suit
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of PBM Products. All opinions are 100% mine. I am happily finished with formula and baby food and diapers. But in the many long years of raising babies, I certainly spent my share of money on those products. becoming a new parent (for the first…
A Nine-Year-Old’s To-Do List
I was cleaning up the family room just now and found this to-do list. Number eight and thirteen (and the fact that he was completely serious) were so funny, I had to share: I can’t wait to see how he completes his list. What would be on YOUR kids’ to-do list?
Burn, Baby, Burn!
I earned the coolest mom award this afternoon. KitKat and her friend were over here after school and started joking about wanting to burn their posters from Spanish class (sadly, they really don’t like the teacher, and he has just about ruined the language for my daughter). I heard them scheming in the kitchen, and…
We Are Family
This is not my family. This is my good friend’s family. This is my good friend who, 8 years ago, encouraged me to pursue photography. Eight years ago, this family was the very first family that I did a photo shoot for. They’ve grown a lot in the last 8 years, and I am happy…
Lost and Found
Last night, I was determined once and for all that I would find Doug. (If you haven’t seen the rest of the Doug saga, check out these two posts first: It’s a Mom’s Duty and Missing Doug) I dumped out the huge Rubbermade tub that is lovingly referred to in our house as the “Boy…
The Goldfish Guide to Raising Optimistic Kids
Today I am going to stay away off my computer and enjoy my family. I’m going to play games (like Bananagrams, which is our current daily game), read my book (if you’ve ever considered reading Three Cups of Tea consider this your motivation to do it–it’s great!), and maybe even sneak out on a lunch…
Missing Doug
A week ago I wrote a post about losing Doug. Doug is more than Twizzler’s favorite toy. Doug accompanies him to friend’s houses, he helps him do his homework after school each day, and he keeps him company in bed every night. Doug is still missing. Yesterday, Twizzler couldn’t sleep. He came to my room,…
