My brother and his wife are having a baby today! As I write, Jenny is being induced. They have kept the gender and the name a surprise, so I am super anxious for this baby to get here! Wishing I had something I could do to speed the process up, I decided to make cookies Read more about Pink or blue?[…]
Happy 4th to everybody! If you live anywhere near me, you probably had the same Forth of July experience that we did: WET. A couple months ago, we had booked three nights in cabins at Cheney Lake for this holiday weekend and were very much looking forward to it. Might as well have stayed at Read more about The Fourth, firecrackers and floods.[…]
A few weeks ago, my baby turned three. Not so much of a baby anymore. Although you wouldn’t know it by the incessant amount of hardcore whining, fit-throwing, diaper-wearing, milk-drinking that still goes on around here.

Is that enough reasons to party? I think so. Since it was Valentine’s, the theme for the party Read more about Birthdays and chocolate and cake, oh my.[…]
This little boy is into everything. I think we have our work cut out for us. He’s still not walking, but that doesn’t slow Graham down. He can move faster on four than I can on two! Whenever somebody has gone downstairs, he stands at the gate and yells at them. Contrary to how this Read more about Ornery.[…]
Last week, my neice Eva turned two and yesterday we celebrated. With an adorable Cookie Monster party theme. Now, if there ever was a little girl who loved cookies more than anybody in the world, Eva is her. She loves her cookies. So she was in heaven. There were Cookie Monster cupcakes, chocolate chip cookies Read more about Me want cookies.[…]

All moms do it, right? Things we’re not proud of. Things like skipping baths. Or “cooking” PB&J for four meals in a row, breakfast included.
