26 Days

I feel really terrible about how I’ve neglected this blog lately.  I’ve been trying to keep up with the business side of my blogging obligations, but life since the holidays has been extremely hectic.  Shall we count the ways? WORK District Reading Fair, Spelling Bee, and the Battle of the Books, not to mention just [...]

Easter 2013- Minecraft Style

I’m not THAT mom this year for Easter.  There are no Resurrection Rolls, Resurrection Eggs, Resurrection Gardens, and y’all…we didn’t even dye eggs this year! I know…I know.   But, we did make some cute Easter cupcakes. My son also created “Jesus’ House” and the cross in Minecraft (complete with purple sash, which he will change [...]

I got a pedicure yesterday.  I hate getting a pedicure.  I realize I’m probably the only woman out there who doesn’t enjoy going to get her feet “all prettied up”, but it’s not a relaxing thing for me and I would seriously rather go to the dentist than have this done. Yes, for real.  Don’t [...]

A Memorable Weekend

We had so much goodness jam packed into this past weekend that I’m still trying to physically recover from it all.  My baby (baby!) turned 8.  He was three when I started this blog.  I miss that sweet little three year old, but I love the young man he is turning into.  Each stage of [...]

Election Day Is Here

Today is the day we go to the polls and elect our President and other various state and local government officials. I’m not going to lie to you, I’ve been sitting on pins and needles about this ever since the debates.  I feel very strongly about this election, probably more so than I ever have [...]
