A Hallowed Occasion

Well, we’re here, the big day.  I basically had one work week to pull the boys’ costumes together, and, although I was forced to use WAY more duct tape that I had hoped, I think they came out ok.  I think I mentioned before that Max wanted to be a robot.  I decided to stay [...]

PHILLY PRIDE!!

WAY TO GO PHILLIES- 2008 WORLD SERIES CHAMPS!!  The whole town is doing a happy dance.  I was in such a state of anticipation last night, I almost threw up.  It was a weird & wacky ride, but thank goodness they won, I don’t think I could’ve waited through another game!
On another note, I have [...]

Um…. Excuse me, Mother Nature?

This is the view outside my front door today, October 28th at noon:

And out my side window:

For anyone who is following the World Series, you know that last night’s game was postponed in the 6th inning due to the messy rain conditions. At this time, they still don’t know when they’ll be able to resume   [...]

How blogging has affected my marriage

This is the conversation the other night in my house, after the kids were in bed.
Bill:  I’m running to the store for milk, do you need anything?”
 Me:  “Ummm…. no, I don’t think so.”
 Bill:  “I was just wondering, in case you wanted a Snickers Bar or something”.
 Me:  “Well… <thinking>….. I wouldn’t be upset if one happened [...]

Politics and Religion- Oh Boy!

Just kidding…. no offense to anyone, but I’m quite weary of the above two topics.  All this bickering is making my head hurt.  I don’t agree with every idea out there, but I’m not going to try to sway your hard earned opinions just because it suits MY agenda better.  That’s just my own personal stance.  It’s ok if [...]

Through a Child’s Eyes

We had a Mother’s Tea the other day at Maxfield’s school.  I, along with the other moms, came back for the last hour of school to enjoy a snack made by the kids, stories, a “do together” craft, and some quality playtime.  It was fun to let him take the lead and show me around [...]

I’ve done it again…

I took the plunge and signed up for another craft show.  Tomorrow, I’m dropping off work for Crafts in the Barn, an annual local show that I’ve been wanting to participate in for quite a while now. It all happened so last minute… It’s kinda why I haven’t listed much else in my etsy shop [...]
