Random thoughts, in no particular order, inspired by Mama Kat’s Writing prompt : 1. The biggest thing on my mind right now is Cub Scouts. Twizzler went to his first Cub Scout Den Meeting last night with the brand new Den Leader…..ME! Yes, I was asked to be the Den Leader. I have zero experience…

I’ll take the 2-hour delay…..
I’ll even take the 70 minute drive to the store… The kids went to school today (they had a 2-hour delayed start) AND Mom, AJ and I were able to make it out to my favorite store of all time (is it sad that my favorite place to shop is a thrift store??) About 10…
Bloggers Unite Against CPSIA
Two women who sell on Etsy have put together a very informative post on CPSIA. See their thread here, or read on….Personally, as an avid (read: addicted) thrift store shopper, I am scared to death about what this act would mean for my ability to clothe my kids. I do not buy clothes new. That…
Snow Day Bonus!
You can imagine the hoorahs this morning when I checked the school district’s web page and discovered the news….. NO SCHOOL TODAY! So the kids got to spend another day at home with Grandma. What perfect timing! Yesterday was a teacher work day, and today was a snow day. Extra time with Grandma! After a…
Grab a book and get comfy…..
….because we’re staying in for another day. Just when KitKat was feeling well enough to go back to school, my dear Twizzler woke up this morning, gave me a pitiful look, and headed straight to the bathroom to throw up. So we’ll be doing a lot of this today: Thank goodness for books, comfy sweats,…
What are you avoiding?

{The Lemonade Award} Joanne from Barely Domestic Mama gave me this blogging award (my first!). I feel loved. :) This award is given to blogs that show great attitude and/or gratitude.

Check out this BOKEH!
Don’t know what bokeh is? Don’t worry, neither did I….until I did a little research. As most of you know, I am a self-taught photographer. I love to take pictures, but up to this past year, I knew next to nothing about the technical aspects of photography. I had a semi-fancy camera but kept it…
