Good News

Dustin was oh so good to me this Christmas! I thought for sure I was going to end up with the usual…a stunningly perfect present weeks after the time to exchange gifts. But not this year! Nope, my man surprised me on Christmas Eve with….cue the angels singing…

I’ve never had a “real” camera before. I’m [...]

Throwback Thursday

From Dustin to Mary    12/27/01

A Poem For My Dearest.

Oh love come down and see me,
From you cloud up there
And melt my heart with glances
Born within the skies

Oh love come down and see me
Shouts heart in loving cheer
I know you are an angel dear,
I can see it in your eyes!

Snips and snails and puppy dog tails

Christian is a faux hawk rockin’, deep blue eyed, talking genius.  He seriously says just about everything Maddie does. His vocabulary and grasp of conversation constantly amaze me.
At dinner the other night, he looked out the window and said “It’s dark outside”.  He’s only a year and a half!  He sings the alphabet with Maddie, [...]

I give up - picture edition

At my meetup playdate:

Hey Renee, would you mind snapping some pics of me and the kids so I can get   the grandparents of my back some updated pictures?

Maybe this will work…I’ll just follow the kids around, showing up behind [...]

Throwback Thursday

December 27, 2001
From Dustin to Mary
“There is music and laughter lately and there’s praise. There are reasons to be so happy and beliefs to embrace. There are times to be so angry, I’d rather lie in the sun.  It’s the summer of my lifetime, I’ve been blessed with some fun.  I’m a season past Springtime [...]

And that folks is how to introduce your kids to the local fire dept.

Every time I’m getting my kids in and out of the car I’m reminded of this riddle:
A boy has a tiger, a goat, and some greens that he must take into town
to be sold. To get to town he must cross a river. He cannot go around,
under, or fly over the river. He must cross [...]

Household Tip

I’ve really been wanting an organized way to store my grocery bags.  As much as I love the shiny sleek Simple Human designs, I can’t justify paying the money for something that’s going to be hidden away in a cabinet.  So need + creativity + Eco-consciousness= brilliant (in my humble opinion) solution
I cut a hole [...]

Throwback Thursday

“The conception of two people living together for twenty-five years without having a cross word suggests a lack of spirit only to be admired in sheep.”  Alan Patrick Herbert
Yesterday I blew it and made my husband feel miserable all day just because I wouldn’t listen to his feelings. I can be so stubborn sometimes.  In [...]

Because I married a g33k

This list is primarily for Dustin.  If anything needs to be done (*ehem, hang my star on the wall puhleeez) or taken care of, my techie hubbie requires that I blog it.  So for you my love, (and may this grant me extra sparkly presents) I present to you:
