This week is spring break for us. We won’t be going out of town or doing any of the fabulous vacations so many in this area seem to do – but I always enjoy the time just to reconnect with friends and hang out with my kids. The past few days it seems my house… Continue reading Spring Break, Day 1

Little Miss Smartypants
The following is a transcript of an actual conversation that occurred between us and our now-5-year-old Miss Smartypants. We were walking into Target for a few things and Little Miss Smartypants kept wandering into the traffic aisle of the parking lot. Matt reminded her several times to come closer to the parked cars, but by… Continue reading Little Miss Smartypants
Pine One Derby!
So Trey calls the Cub Scout Pinewood Derby. Last year, conflicts with Upward Basketball’s picture day prevented Trey from being a part of the Pinewood Derby. This was doubly sad considering that out of the whole pack only 3 Tigers entered last year, preventing them from having a design competition in that age division. But… Continue reading Pine One Derby!
Ace of Cakes
I can’t really consider myself to be a true Ace of Cakes, but I figure I’m about a 10 – maybe even a Jack! Despite my lack of professional training, or even professional tools, I think I did pretty darn well on my kids’ birthday cakes this year. And because of that, I’m allowing myself… Continue reading Ace of Cakes

Here goes: 5) Chatty Cathy: It’s been said that women use an average… Continue reading A High-Five for Crisana!
Feeling Gr-8 ‘cuz Trey is 8!

In honor of our new 8-year-old, I’d like to offer a “Top 8” list of the things I love most about Trey: 8 ) Such an easygoing personality – Trey could make friends with a lamppost. 7) King of… Continue reading Feeling Gr-8 ‘cuz Trey is 8!
Night at the Museum
It wasn’t exactly like this… or this… but we DID manage to sleep in a room with dinosaur bones!
I want YOU! (for a birthday party)
Good news that really is!
The angels are rejoicing tonight, and so are we! For the first time in quite a few years, we have a newborn in our house. She’s upstairs sleeping peacefully right now, but a few hours ago this family was quite excited about the new addition to our family…our spiritual family! That’s right, Crisana has asked… Continue reading Good news that really is!
Roller Derby Queen
If you were a child of the 80’s you probably remember with me the glory days of the roller rink:Â skin-tight Sasson (or Jordache) jeans tucked into Riddell skates with a lucky rabbit’s foot hanging off of it, skating to the music of REO Speedwagon, Abba, or Boston (or – God forbid, DISCO!)…waiting desperately for… Continue reading Roller Derby Queen
