The other day I got an email from my friend about an unusual request she had. I found the email quite amusing, so I’ll share it: Hi Lisa! I have a big favor to ask. Can I borrow Disney & Christopher for a photo? It’s a long story — My grandson Ben colored a “Flat […]

Our almost 5-year-old Sammie is the firecracker of the group. She likes to be the one to stir things up, and she sometimes has some crazy ideas. My mom sent me an email with the following video and a message: “I’m surprised Sammie hasn’t tried this.” I can’t imagine what those poor parents were going

I was musing today about something… Sometimes my son gets this look on his face where he looks more like a kid than a baby. He’s 9 months old, so he’s still very much a baby, but more frequently I can see on his face how he might look as a toddler. It’s hard to

With the return of warmer weather comes the return of our locally famous wagon o’ cuties: Except what’s that in the wagon, a little red elf? Now I might be biased here, but that is the cutest elf I’ve ever seen! This is the first time I put that little sweatshirt on my son. I

About a year ago, I had a blog post called “The Mayor And The Macarena”. It was about my family’s first roller skating outing (it was a birthday party for the Girl Scouts organization), and my post was so titled because our county’s only roller skating rink is owned and operated by the town mayor.

Today my son is 8 months old – how time flies! Gone are the days when I could cradle him like a newborn baby and sing him to sleep. There is no better way to relax than that, and I really miss it. Yesterday when I was in Walmart, I literally almost cried when I
I had to share this funny little story because something our almost 5-year-old daughter Sammie said the other day had my husband and I in stitches. She calls out from the bathroom – “Dad! I have to go poop but I can’t… Oh, nevermind!” Hmmm, now that I’m reading it, it’s not quite as funny.
