Barking seal

Today I am thankful for Tylenol.
T has come down with croup. It seems to be a minor case of it – at least that’s what my mama’s intuition tells me. He had a fever last night but Tylenol took care of that real quick. You know he’s sick when he voluntarily goes [...]

Making progress

Sorry. All you’ll probably be hearing about in the next few weeks is moving. Packing and getting ready is consuming my time and my thoughts. I felt bad for not doing any packing on Monday night but I think I needed that time to recover from the weekend! Last night I [...]

Sunny days

Today I am thankful for the gorgeous weather we are having.  This weekend promises to be beautiful too!
We move two weeks from tomorrow!  I hope to get lots of organizing and packing done this weekend.
I made one of my favorite soups overnight in the slow cooker using black beans I made the day before along with [...]

Random Tuesday Thoughts

Anne, the Small Town Mommy has been blogging Random Tuesday Thoughts for some time now and I thought I’d participate.  What?  I can just throw some random things out there and not have to be coherent?  Awesome.
1) First things first.  Today, I am thankful that I went to get my teeth cleaned and checked out [...]

Giving thanks

I saw as someone’s facebook status update that they would post daily about what they are thankful for since this is month of Thanksgiving and all.  I’ve decided to start my blog posts this month with things I am thankful for.  Today’s thankfulness is also sort of a PSA:
I am thankful that hairspray will remove [...]

Touching Trucks

This weekend our city sponsored free a “Touch a Truck” event where they had lots of big trucks set up for kids to explore.  They had a fire truck, police command station, police motorcycle, a bomb squad robot, city bus, tractors, just to name a few.  Is it a sign that my kids spent the [...]

25 Firsts

I was tagged by Single Mommy who incidentally, I’ve “known” online for a long time.  I’m not sure how long, but my best guess is seven years.  There was a time when we would email each other daily – sometimes multiple times daily!  We have never met in person but there was one time in [...]

Ditching the list

Friday afternoon, I made a list of things I hoped to accomplish over the weekend.  By Saturday morning, I ditched my list and decided to ENJOY MY WEEKEND.  Sometimes, I find that I get more things done without a list.  I guess I feel like a failure if I don’t get through a list, but [...]

Rainy weekend

We’ve been having rainy, cooler weather and I am enjoying the reprieve from the heat!
Yesterday, some friends visited that we hadn’t seen in about six years! It was so nice to catch up and we got to meet each others’ kids. They have a three year old daughter that T enjoyed [...]

I finally met a Cookie I didn’t like

A while back I came across an offer for a free subscription to Cookie magazine.  I like magazines.  I like free things better.  I signed up and recently received my first issue.
It’s a family/parenting magazine and their tagline is “all the best for your family.”  According to them, my family does not get the best.  [...]
