Wow. This is getting ridiculous. Like the title says, I feel like an enormous toddler right now! Why, I could even be tempted to throw myself (gently) onto the floor right now and flail my arms and legs like a 3 year old screaming “BUT I WAAAANNNNNAAAAA!!!!” if I thought it might work. Seriously. Where [...]

Some days (like this one) I just can’t believe that Daryl and I have been married for almost 6 years, we’ve been Momma and Daddy for almost 4 1/2 years, and in August we’ll no longer have “a child” …we’ll have “children”. When did I grow up? When did I become responsible? When did I [...]

So, my husband (a.k.a. suspected werewolf) and I had three movie “date” nights on the sofa at home watching the three Twilight movies last week. I’m no Twilight super-fan, but I do enjoy those movies as just what they are – movies. I haven’t read the books, I don’t go to the movie premiers dressed as [...]

Along with the much anticipated change of seasons (which I hope happens for good really soon), I’m anticipating some changes within my life and my home, as well. The most exciting and most obvious one, of course, being a BABY in August! We’ll still have to go through another change of seasons (I miss you [...]

I have a love/hate relationship with weather. On a day like today: It’s sunny, the clouds are perfect, the temperature is 62 degrees and there’s a little breeze playing with the trees and the leaves and the weeds grass. The birds are singing for the first time in months! And I know they are because, [...]
