I’ve Got My Sister With Me

Friday, July 31, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Francesca of Three Bay B Chicks here today. On Laura’s last day of vacation, she allowed me the pleasure of hijacking her blog. Rather than writing my own introduction, I’ll just say that I hope Laura doesn’t regret giving me this type of power… As I sat with my sister, Gianna, at an outdoor cafe [...]

Blogging Neighbors

Thursday, July 30, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Jill is the kind of witty blogger I wish I could be, but somehow all of the witty ideas in my head never come out when I’m sitting at my computer. So I won’t even try. For those of you who have ever wondered….Jill is NOT scary at all in person. In fact, I think [...]

Chick Chat Sisters

Wednesday, July 29, 2009 By Leave a Comment

You will be able to tell right away that my sister Andrea (The Hatchers and Their Hatchling and Andrea Marie Photo) is way cooler than me. And despite the fact that we are both photographers, we are NOT very handy with the video camera. Seriously, I think we had 8 takes and about 2 hours [...]

Tuesday’s Tribute with 7 Clown Circus

Tuesday, July 28, 2009 By Leave a Comment

I hope you are up for a little work today (if you are so inclined). Not only have I highjacked Lolli’s blog so that I can ramble in her turf (isn’t it always more fun somewhere else? I’m like that little kid who isn’t hungry when the food comes from their house, but offer me [...]

A Giant Game Of Deja Vous

Hey! Mama Kat here…I’m jumping in as a guest poster for Lolli this week. I’m not nearly as sweet, but love me through it. Lolli thought it would be fun to go with a sister’s theme and I gladly stepped up to the plate. Here goes:It was so easy to get my little sister Baby [...]

Out of Office

Friday, July 24, 2009 By Leave a Comment

I’m making a midnight run to the airport tonight. My mom is coming to town! And in celebration of her visit and our trip to Pennsylvania, I am taking a blogging break. Don’t worry, though, I am leaving you in good hands while I am off eating chocolate at Hershey Park and ice cream in [...]

Give Me Your Best Shot – Hiking

Friday, July 24, 2009 By Leave a Comment

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 [...]

Giddy

Thursday, July 23, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Am I giddy? I don’t know. I don’t think I get truly giddy very often. Giddy is a pretty strong word, and it makes me think of 13 year old giggly girls. But if I were giddy, I would be giddy about meeting a whole slew of area bloggers last week (Scary Mommy, parenting BY [...]

Gimme Some WNBA Basketball! Washington Mystics Game

Wednesday, July 22, 2009 By Leave a Comment

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 [...]

The Best Taco Salad Recipe Ever

Monday, July 20, 2009 By Leave a Comment

When I saw that the MckLinky Blog Hop theme for this week was recipes, I decided it had been far too long since I had shared a recipe. I skimmed through my recipe blog (which has been as neglected as my dinners lately) and found this recipe for Taco Salad that had my mouth watering [...]
