Shopping for our cats is a weekly thing around our home. A large jug of litter will last us about two weeks, but we’re always making short stops at grocery stores and dollar stores for cat food. I’ve often wished there was a service that would deliver all of this to my home because I [...]
My little short guy turned 7 last Friday. I think a week to process this fact in my blown little mind (mah bay-bee is alll grown upppppp!!! *sniff*) is sufficient enough time to embrace it and become resigned to the fact that this really does happen to kids and someday he will sprout his little [...]
Remember the 80′s? Passing notes….watching the VCR….making “mix-tapes”? I never would have dreamed we would have the internet, cell phones (with internet!), and other gadgets and gizmos smaller than a Rubik’s Cube square that could hold music. While I certainly appreciate and use these technological advancements on a daily basis, I got a little nostalgic [...]
Tomorrow is E.B.’s 7th birthday. I wish I had the time to bake him some homemade cupcakes to take to school for snack tomorrow, but I just don’t. So, I did the next best thing…I high-tailed it to Kroger to pick out some cool cupcakes with mile-high frosting and decorated with something way cuter than [...]
I’m still getting a feel for my library, and every so often I run across vintage children’s books still on the shelves. Most of them have been weeded out, but if they are still in pretty good shape, they are still there. I found this old book the other day and just fell in love [...]

At some point this past week, it struck me how “noisey” my life is. Of course, working in a school, that’s a given. But that’s obvious noise. So is the television…so is the radio in the car. The silent noise was what gave me pause, and mainly about the things I read online. The blogs [...]
After the wonderful reading fair we had at the school 2 weeks ago, the district reading fair was this past Friday and…WOW! I was so amazed by the creative story boards these kids came up with. I am SO glad I did not have to judge this one because it was tough. They were ALL [...]
My husband drives a truck and runs across some of the funniest signs ever. Yesterday, he posted this gem he found while at a truck stop. Apparently, these places have no shame in trying to get your business. Or your wife’s. Because? “Your wife wants to tinkle here!”. Definitely an attention-getter.
This past Saturday E.B. got to experience his first horse ride. He went to a cowboy-themed birthday party at a real barn out in the country. It was absolutely freezing, but that didn’t stop my little guy from thoroughly enjoying himself. I was concerned that he might be afraid of the horse, but he couldn’t [...]
