A much needed ego boost
Thomas: Mommy, you never have to worry about the robbers coming to take you away. Me: No, sweetie… I don’t need to worry about robbers stealing me. Thomas: Dat’s wight, ’cause you’re too heavy to carry.

Sick…. again….
I’ve been wiped out this past week with… I’m not sure what. A minor cold with a horrific cough that goes along with it. Pretty darn draining. The kids got it this weekend, so now we’re all sort of melting into the furniture — finding a comfortable spot, covering up with a blanket, and dozing … [Read more…]
Never forget
What were you doing, 6 years ago, when the towers fell and life as we knew it changed forever? I was in my room, playing with my (then) almost 4 yr old Sean. He had been asking me all week long about planes, and what would happen if they accidentally hit something. Strange questions, I … [Read more…]
What on earth is going on in my kitchen?
Welcome to a new great toy for kids… a bucket full of 25 lbs of wheat berries! Mommy, they won’t let me get in there! Seriously. It was a child magnet. Every single one of them (you can’t even SEE poor Kathryn in the picture! She’s buried in there next to Reilly) was compelled to … [Read more…]

That’s OK… in just a few weeks I’ll be on the couch, recovering from my c-section (AND staying up most of the … [Read more…]
Another fun conversion post
This time from Red Neck Woman over at the Postscripts from the Catholic Spitfire Grill.
My latest project
And I am so excited!! Behold the lowly bureau (and yes, I know there’s a lot of mess around it! It was a rough day around here)…. This ugly, ugly piece of furniture has been my bureau for the past twenty years. It was a freebie I inherited when I came down to South Carolina … [Read more…]
Good stewards
So, for the past, oh, month or so, I’ve really been pondering what is the best way to be a “good steward” of what we’ve been given. For most of my married life, I assumed that I should look for the less expensive options — ie, buy generic when possible, strive to be thrifty, not … [Read more…]
