On our way to the Pioneer Woman’s place… kinda out in the middle of nowheresville. At one point, Colleen and I both needed to use the little girls room. We passed one truck (that’s during the entire time we were on this stretch of road) and they stopped when they saw us. The blue Odyssey must have been a dead… Read More
I’m almost outta here! Not gonna lie, I am the tiniest bit nervous. I might have brushed the dust off the salt scrub in the shower. And used it. And then a few extra swipes of deodorant. Anything I can to avoid actually smelling as nervous as I am feeling. I know it’s going to be a great time, though…. Read More
Jude turned 3 last month. He’s pretty darn proud of that. He’s a thoughtful little guy… often with a lot to say. Usually about his favorite toys: Thomas and Posse. Or his favorite _____ (insert book, TV show, passtime, activity here…) also Thomas and Posse. He loves certain things passionately. His noodles. His mama. His pillow. His dog, Seamus. And… Read More

I really wasn’t intending to make it a mystery, I figured my little c o d e in the post would spell it out. Literally. It’s The Pioneer Woman, silly! Of course! THE PIONEER WOMAN!! If you don’t know her, hold on to your boots. The lady has some mad skillz. I use a ‘z’ at the end of the… Read More

For this occasion, I’m going with definition number 2: “so remarkable as to strain credulity; extraordinary.” So here it is. You ready??? I won a contest. A contest I really, REALLY… Read More
I love this picture of Vivi. She looks like such an angel, it’s the one I have framed next to my bed. I think it’s my favorite picture of her, at least it’s my favorite picture this week. I really love all of them, she’s such a beautiful baby girl. All of us around here are totally and completely in… Read More
Where have I been, you might ask? Where have I been? Why, right here. At home. Then why haven’t you been posting? At all? Uhhhh… because, right here at home, my life has spun ridiculously out of control. Actually, no one has inquired into my whereabouts, I’m just hoping speculating that someone might have noticed my absence? Maybe? But I… Read More
I was quite the spectacle today. My kids didn’t know what to do with themselves. When I laid down. On the couch. Sophie snuggled up next to me, in her usual manner. Always lovin’ on mama. Isabelle laughed at me. And poked me. Shepherd played. And looked incredibly cute. Even in the mismatched duds. No making fun, folks. My husband… Read More
Sophie turned 5 recently. Over a month ago, to be exact. We did celebrate her big day with a full-out Hello Kitty party, and the most fantastic Hello Kitty cake on the planet (thank you, Colleen!!) But the truth be told, the pictures from our little fete were awful. There wasn’t enough light in the room and I had to… Read More
