Not Me Monday

Tuesday, June 30, 2009 by Leave a Comment

What? It’s not Monday? Hmmm…..Oh well. You don’t mind, do you? In case you were wondering, I am not feeling the slightest bit guilty about the fact that I promised to take AJ to McDonalds when we went to the mall for an errand today…..but kept putting him off because I wanted to finish up […]

Contest closed! Winner is #36, Lindsey of A Kindred Spirit’s Thoughts. Congrats! As a teenager, I had pretty nice skin. Strangely, it was in my early 20s and into my child-bearing years that my facial skin took a turn for the worse. Not only do I have a tendency to get pimples (yuck!) my skin […]

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 […]

Give Me Your Best Shot (or Two)

Friday, June 26, 2009 by Leave a Comment

I typically pick one favorite shot of the week to display on Fridays, but I couldn’t pick just one this week. On Wednesday, AJ and I spent the day surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery I can imagine. One picture wouldn’t do the day and our experience there justice. This day needed more […]

Living the High Life as a Pirate’s Mother

Inspired by one of MamaKat’s writing prompts today, I decided to interview AJ in the car on the way to pick up the big kids. Here’s how our interview went (I wrote it down on the back of a grocery store receipt while I was waiting for the kids to be done. I didn’t want […]

Summer: Even my Head is Swimming

Tuesday, June 23, 2009 by Leave a Comment

School has been out for a week now. Here’s a little re-cap of what we’ve been up to, and what we have to expect for the next little while, along with some random thoughts in my head today. Because that’s just how my brain is working right now. Summer started off with some rain. The […]

Bella Sara Giveaway!

Tuesday, June 23, 2009 by Leave a Comment

*CONTEST CLOSED* The winner is Elizabeth, comment #3! I remember quite clearly the day when Necco, my tomboy, came home from kindergarten with a poem she had written all about her love of Yu Gi Oh. I thought it was a very strange subject considering she had never seen the show on tv and we […]
