I am out of here!

March 24, 2013

If any of you were around here last Easter you know it was the holiday that almost sent me to the NUT HOUSE. Innocent sweet pastelled bunnies and pretty painted eggs. Right? Well, the antics in my house inspired many things for me to share with you from my craftier side. The crafty side that [...]

The Girl Who Cried Redbook (but I am really in this months issue, REALLY!)

February 8, 2013

Me, (nervously texting husband Jim at his doctors office) “Ummmm. We are in Redbook this month. Don’t kill me.” A very long period of time goes by. I even gave him allowances in case he was resuscitating someone. My mind wandered that he was so mad he was on his way home and I may need resuscitating. [...]

Oh Deer! Not on a Friday Please.

Ridiculous Resolution to Seize the Monkey!

January 2, 2013

I despise resolutions. If I knew I needed to change something about myself, and luckily I don’t as every year I get more perfect(ly imperfect) I know I would realize my flaw on or around January 20th. Knowing myself, I would “shelf” my personal “remodel” until January 1, of the next year because that is [...]

No Words Just Smiles and Laughing

December 20, 2012

My grandmother, several years ago, gave the boys this silly singing snowman from Hallmark. Peter thought it was magic. Would find him under the tree or on the kitchen floor watching it endlessly. My beloved Mamaw passed away last year and when we get it out it makes me smile too. Here we have yet [...]

My Mistakes May Help Other Parents

December 19, 2012

Tragedies chip away at childhood. Yesterday I kept reading stories of children hearing about the Newtown tragedy incident from other children or teachers at school. These posts are from parents that wanted to shield their young children from this heartache. I know several parents posted, the day that the tragedy occurred, that they would not [...]
