Madeline’s got this new obsession when we go shopping. She is very fascinated by the mannequins in the stores and has started to ask me to take pictures of her posing with them. The other night she and I went on a little shopping trip together and this is when I noticed this new quirk [...]

The Best and Worst of Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving has come and gone and I missed my opportunity to tell all of you how thankful I am for my husband, kids, Starbucks, and all of that other stuff. If you’ve read my blog for any length of time you could probably fill in the blanks. Maybe next year I will do a better [...]

Terrorizing the Portrait Studio
Today we braved the portrait studio in an attempt to capture some Christmas pictures. Part of me thinks I shouldn’t post these, since we will be sending out Christmas cards with these pictures, but I’m not a very patient person so I’ll just post them now. Just pretend like you are in shock and awe [...]

The Rat’s Nest
My posting has been lacking lately, mostly because nothing all that interesting has been going on for us lately. David’s been busy hunting (he shot a buck with his bow, and a doe with his gun…so far!), and besides Madeline’s new preschool it’s just been business as usual for me and the kids.
Madeline continues to [...]

Out With the Old, In With the New
Madeline finished up her second day today at her new preschool. I can not say enough how happy I am with her new preschool! I was worried that Madeline would be sad about not going back to the old one, or that she would miss some of the kids but today when she hopped in [...]

You Just Might Be A Parent If…Reason #812

Back in the day when it was just Madeline and I all day long I would put her down for her afternoon nap and [...]

Our Afternoon with Elmo
Today David and I entered new territory with Madeline and braved the wonderful world of oversized, stuffed, dancing, cartoon figures better known as Sesame Street Live. I have to admit that I was slightly excited about going to the show. I have fond memories of going to various Disney on Ice shows as a child [...]

Oil-Cleansing Take Two
As promised I have an update on my Oil-Cleansing Method post I did a while back.
So, my skin was going crazy, and all dried-out. Horribly dried out! We’re talking chunks of skin randomly peeling away.
I did a few days of the oil-cleansing method and immediately after doing it my skin looked really soft and had [...]

Change Is In The Air
Yesterday was Madeline’s last day of preschool at her current preschool. You may remember my post a while back about some of my concerns about Madeline and preschool. I had gotten to a point where I was just letting things be since Madeline didn’t seem affected by any of it in the least.
2 weeks ago [...]

Baby Cuddles
Neither of my kids are big cuddlers. For a while I felt bad about it, because I had this image in my mind about babies being these sweet, cuddly creatures and my kids would sit with me for all of 5 seconds before wiggling their way out of my arms back to the floor. Then [...]
