Security Blankets

For this week’s Fun Monday, Candid Karina says “Show me your security blankets!” She wants to know about the stuff we feel the need to haul around with us all the time, and would be lost without. 
I seem to have a couple layers of things  that I haul around with me.  My first layer, that I always, [...]

I Proclaim it Officially Cold Out!

If it were up to me, the weather would stay somewhere in between fifty five and seventy eight degrees.  Preferably remaining at my preferred temperature of sixty eight degrees.  (I know, I know…all of you sun worshipers think that’s insanely cold, but this is my perfect weather.  Now you know why I refuse to move to [...]

Being a Mom

When KT was tiny, she was taken care of by my parents…well mostly my dad…(the same one that swore that he wouldn’t be taking care of any brats when he first learned that we were expecting!).  After Mimi came along, Dad decided that he just couldn’t handle two of them and told us we needed to [...]

Logos and Such~Fun Monday

It’s time for Fun Monday again! This week, Willow Tree wants to see “clothing art”.  Anything our family has with “interesting, funny or artistic graphics”  Hmmm….our clothes are kinda on the boring side…
My first thought was to take a picture of each of KT’s fish shirts.  She is proud to own enough nautically themed shirts to [...]

We Got The Power!

When we first moved into our house nine years ago, we quickly learned that living in a heavily wooded area is quite unlike living in city.  Our home is located on the very edges of the ‘burbs.  We aren’t exactly in the sticks, but pretty close to them.  What we really are in is the trees.  [...]

A few months ago, I followed a link from one of the craft blogs that I lurk on (Yes, I’m an in-the-closet craft blog junkie…deal with it!) to find that I had arrived at the blog of someone that lives a mere town or two over from me.  I immediately added her to my blogroll [...]

How We Met

For this week’s Fun Monday,  Janet wants to know that story of how we met our sweeties.  She actually wants the “cute meet” story.  Now, I’m not exactly sure what that means (I’m so behind on all the cool slang nowadays!)  I’ll just tell it like it was…more or less…  (I tried to get Mimi to [...]

Daily Drama #256

A  phone call at 6:45 in the morning is never a good thing. 
As I reached for the phone, I breathed a small sigh of relief when I saw that it was one of Mimi’s friends. In a quiet voice, she asked to speak to Mimi, then whispered to me who she was.  (As if [...]

Being Mature

The other day, Shaun and I were headed home from somewhere when we had a bit of a disagreement about something really dumb.  Somehow, it got all blown out of proportion and I, in a very dramatic moment, (I think I learned that drama from Mimi) declared that I simply wasn’t going to talk to [...]

The Front Porch

This week’s Fun Monday is being hosted by the adorable Pamela.  She says  “I want to see what you see on any given morning this week; from somewhere very near where you live. Front porch, back porch, down the street, around the corner. Just makes sure it’s your neighborhood. Post a photo that will send me [...]
