Oh, Good ‘N Plenty. How I love you. And how I wish that my stomach was bigger. When YOU have shoo-fly pie, do YOU sing in your head, “Shoo, fly, don’t bother me! Shoo, fly, don’t bother me…..Cuz I belong to somebody!” ?? Because I do.
It’s All About the Chocolate….I Mean the Kids
I learned a few things this last week: 1 – The restrooms at Hershey Park are nicely air conditioned. We had to make our first potty stop at Hershey Park before we got on our first ride. AJ’s bladder was particularly small last Monday when we were at the amusement park. When I walked into…
Give Me Your Best Shot – Hiking
Sometimes I am still amazed at the beauty of this place. Growing up in California was fabulous–beautiful–but a trip to the mountains took a couple of hours, and I certainly didn’t have anything like this in my back yard: AJ and I joined some friends for a day trip to a local Falls and lake…
Gimme Some WNBA Basketball! Washington Mystics Game
I have a daughter who is obsessed with basketball, and despite her height she’s actually pretty good at the game. So when we had the opportunity to go to the Washington Mystics WBNA game (vs the New York Liberty) at the Verizon Center in DC, I jumped at the chance. It didn’t even take much…
I Heart Faces – Wedding Bells
This week’s theme at I Heart Faces is Wedding Bells. ‘Tis the season! I do have a few weddings under my belt, so I figured I’d go through my files and pick a favorite photo. I decided to go for something different and fun today. Jumping shots don’t always work very well, but this group…
You Capture. Expression
I woke up this morning at 6:30, and to make a long story short…..didn’t “find” my energy until about 11:30. I am still feeling pretty crummy, but not as bad as I did this morning. I couldn’t even hold the books that I read to AJ and Reese. At first I thought I was getting…
Wordful Wednesday–My Weekend
My wordfully wonderful weekend top 10 (in random order): 1–Safe flights (five of them!), 4 with window seats. 2–A relief from my allergies, despite all of these: 3–Seeing my little brother (yes, he’s my Little brother!) and his wife ready to have a baby (and convincing him to take some pictures!) 4–Having a super cool…
Wordless Wednesday–The View
PS–my friend Tara is running a Wordless Wednesday giveaway for a 5×7 Cherish Bound book. You must check it out! PPS–Yes, I did take this shot. Window seat. No bungee cords or acrobatics involved! LOL
Here We Go Again….
I’m heading back home today. I’m leaving with a heavier suitcase but a lighter load. There’s nothing like being the kid for a few days instead of the mom to take a load off the mind. I am hoping that today’s travelling goes more smoothly than last week’s flights. All I need on this end…
9 Hours of Sleep Makes Everything Better
It’s amazing what a full night’s sleep in a quiet room and a comfortable bed can do for you. I mean for me. After 13 hours of travelling yesterday, combined with the 4 hours of useless travel the day before, and all of the stress from missing my plane and then having to fly stand…
