I’m not a huge mushroom fan. I’ll eat them without complaint but I don’t go out of my way to put them in my food. However, I AM a huge fan of taking pictures of mushrooms. I can’t explain my weird fascination with photographing mushrooms, but every Fall I can’t help but hunt them down,…
He Loves Me More Than Ice Cream – Wordless Wednesday #Linky
I was skyping with Janice from 5 Minutes for Mom last night, along with both of our youngest kids – her Olivia and my AJ. Janice asked AJ if he loved his mama. “Yes,” he declared. Janice then asked, “Is she even better than ice cream?” “Yes, I love my mama more than ice cream!”…
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows CLUE
My kids and I LOVE playing games together. I’m sure their love of games came directly from their parents. CandyMan and I used to play games together every night after classes and work. Having kids put a wrench in our game-playing routine. Either we couldn’t pull our games out for fear of little fingers getting…

Growing Up is Bittersweet
On Monday, I sent AJ off to his first day of First Grade. He confidently donned his backpack full of school supplies and ran (yes, literally RAN) to school. A year of kindergarten taught him to love school….and I love that! Every day AJ reminds me that he is getting bigger and that I no…
Sisterhood of the Bloggess’ Traveling Red Dress
I wrote this post the day after BlogHer ended, and it has been sitting in my drafts since. I didn’t make it to BlogHer this year and was pretty sad about missing it until I attended a local HomeHer party for all of those who couldn’t make the conference. I go to many local blogging…
