I found and fell in love with these dolls months ago. And it didn’t take me long to find a holiday to justify buying one for each of my girls. I just didn’t know which holiday that would be. Turns out they arrived just in time for Valentine’s Day. Which is actually perfect, for several reasons. First of all, these… Read More
two men standing
Today Sophie and Isabelle came down with “the sickness”. Chris got sick on Saturday. Jude got sick Thursday and Shepherd on Friday. Before that it was Vivi. And then Dalton. That leaves only two men standing. Asher and me… hoping and praying we don’t get sick. It hasn’t been a miserable winter, though. In fact we’ve had much much worse…. Read More
forever
What a day! I gotta say, having gotcha day in the middle of the afternoon made for one long day. In fact, by the time it was time, Asher and I were beside ourselves with excitement. And pit sweat. And nausea. At least I was. That is one thing that doesn’t seem to change, no matter how many times I’ve… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: Zach
Zach. My oldest son. I still remember the joy of holding him in my arms for the first time. He was (and is) so darn adorable. Even the labor nurses exclaimed how incredibly cute he was with his little shock of cotton-white hair and piercing grey-blue eyes. He turned 15 this week. So, technically, he’s not my baby anymore. But… Read More
the gingerbread house
Take an ordinary, out of the box, gingerbread house kit. Add a bunch of kids. Some homemade frosting. And every topping you’ve got in your pantry. And you’ve got a party. The kids had so much fun decorating this ordinary little house. Even the big kids had fun. At least, that’s what they told me. Isabelle was obviously smitten with… Read More
the new year
Happy New Year. We decided to ring in the new year with some seriously exciting stuff. Lots and lots of hanging out in our jammies. Playing the insanely fun “Killer Bunnies” game. And eating ridiculous amounts of leftovers. We also managed to squeeze in some beauty shop time. Isabelle has been dying to get her hair cut. Short. I’ve resisted… Read More
our wish. for you.
Wishing you and yours the very merriest Christmas. May you receive your heart’s desire 🙂 With love, All of Us Crazies
Sunday Snapshot: Christmas Cookies
Ahhh, the Christmas cookie. I’d love to be able to call this a Christmas tradition. But it’s not. It’s really more of an excuse- for- mama- to- indulge- her- sweet- tooth- and- justify- it sort of a thing. With bonus points for me because the kids think I’m a stinkin’ rock star for buying all those yummy candies for decorating…. Read More
Christmas tree hunt
My husband decided that today was the day. The day to get our Christmas tree. When I asked him where we were going to get said tree he replied matter-of-factly, “Down the road, at the Christmas Tree farm.” Uh… huh? I didn’t remember seeing any tree farm down the road. An hour later, kids bundled and ready for the Christmas… Read More
monday? full moon? or just me?
Dude. I had so many big plans for today. None of them were realized. It was a regular Monday gone bad. And Mondays aren’t usually my best day anyway. And the big cherry on the top? Chris is working verrrry late. So no break, no respite in sight. It’s all me today, baby. And that just ain’t pretty. I won’t… Read More
