Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Last night, my phone rang. I answered expecting to hear Laura’s voice, but instead it was a 7 year old voice. My niece Anne had called to ask Aidan about her 100th day at school. She had heard that Aidan got to dress up like someone who was 100 years old, and she wanted to [...]

This is what I get for reading to my children

I was reading Aidan a version of the “Puss-In-Boots” story. I didn’t pre-read the story, I just started reading, and it went something like this… “ONCE UPON A TIME a miller died and left all he possessed to his three sons. But he only had these three things- his mill, his ahhhh, uhhhh…ummmm… ::whispers ass::, [...]

Yeah…I’m famous.

I was asked by Tara over at The Cupcake Cafe to write a guest post for her blog, while she went on a trip. So, I did. Then a miracle happened, she actually posted it. I was just as surprised as you. The last time I wrote a guest post, they conveniently forgot about me. [...]

I’m not getting any younger, and you’re old.

What do you say when your dad tells you, “Hey, if something happens to me and I die, you’ll be richer because I took out a life insurance policy.” I’ll tell you what you shouldn’t say, “Oh, good.” That’s what I said. “Yeah, I was wondering how I was going to pay for that house [...]

I would love to do this to someone. LOVE.IT.

Books are my boyfriend.

I am most definitely, 100% sure, that I am homeschooling next year…probably. I’m going order our curriculum when we get our tax refund. I’ve wanted to homeschool since Aidan was living it up in my womb. We almost homeschooled this year, but with the new baby and using my pregnant brain to over think, virtually [...]

I love old photographs

Check out these 2 links. The pics are cool, and I love the story. It may be a good time to mention that I am naive, and will believe just about anything I’m told. I also, will not believe the truth. But, let’s just pretend that it’s real, because I really want it to be. [...]

I’m getting really tired of having to name posts.

This morning, I loaded the kids in the car, buckled them in, and put the car in reverse. I put my foot on the gas pedal, and as the back tires of van touched the edge of my driveway, Andrew said, “Are we there yet?” “No! We’re not THERE yet!” Andrew is amazing. We don’t [...]

Overlaod

It takes me 15 minutes to get to, or from Aidan’s school. In our 15 minute car ride home today, she asked me the following questions: 1.”I missed you at nap time mommy. What does “missed” mean?” “It’s when you want to see someone.” 2. “Like I want to see Grandpa?” “Yes.” 3.”Where are Grandma [...]

I have no idea what to title this post

Yesterday, I was in a little conversation with Beth from, Please Mom, Don’t Sing. From a comment she left, to an email, this is how it went: She left me this comment in response to the drama, drama, drama post: This is the funniest thing! I would love to read the email to your church. [...]
