How to Ruin a Surprise (or Not)
about 4 months ago - 1 comment
Yesterday was Brinley’s 5th birthday. Scott and I had given her all of her presents from us at her family-and-close-friends party on Saturday and were felling a little bad that we didn’t have anything to give her on her actual birthday. So on Tuesday, after Brinley got on the bus for school, I took Nora More >

I’m not one of those parents who forbids their children to watch TV. I loved watching cartoons as a kid and can’t imagine keeping that joy from my kids. But let me be clear, we don’t have the TV on at all hours of the day so the girls can just go and stare at More >

So, school’s out for summer.. well preschool is anyway. Brinley has been done with school for two weeks now. Gone is her routine of waking up and getting ready for school on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Gone are my 3 mornings a week with only one kid in tow. Now it’s the three of us More >

Last weekend, Brinley danced in her very first dance recital. Since September she has been going to dance class once a week and learning some ballet and tap moves. She absolutely loves going and adores her teacher. Of course wearing a leotard, tutu, tights and ballet slippers/tap shoes makes it just about one of the More >

Amazing how fast time just flies by, huh? Sometimes I have to stop and think back a few days, weeks or months to really get a grasp on what has been happening in my life. Would you believe that I turned thirty, yeah 3-0, back in December? Honestly, how did I get this old? I More >

Losing Control

I have been a mother now for four years, five months and eleven days. For the majority of that time I have felt in control of most things baby/toddler/child related. I determine when my children eat, when they bathe, when they get to watch TV. I determine where we are going on a given day More >
Highlighter Tears

Remember how cool black lights were? I’m not implying that they’re no longer cool, it’s just that it’s been years since I’ve seen one. When I was in college they were all the rage. All of the parties and clubs my friends and I went to had them. The best were the highlighter parties where More >

This is our first holiday season in our new house and I am beyond thrilled about it! We never had much space to decorate in our townhouse because our main living area functioned as our living room, media room, play room and entertaining space. It was jam-packed with furniture which left little room for holiday More >
How Keurig Changed My Life
about 1 year ago - 5 comments
Have you ever seen a product and though, “Sure that’s cool, but I’d never need it.”? Well, that is how I felt about the Keurig coffee brewers when they became uber popular about three years ago. They definitely seemed cool, modern, and life simplifying but I never really thought that I needed one. Funny thing More >

Seriously. Someone make the laundry stop! Maybe we should turn the girls’ clothes inside out to get an extra day out of them.
