Today was Pinewood Derby – Girl Scout style! And it couldn’t have been a more different experience for us. First of all, it’s not a Pinewood Derby or a Pine Car Derby. It’s a Powderpuff Derby. I suppose technically the name should be the Rainbow Sparkles Powderpuff Glitter Ponies Derby but that’s too much of… Continue reading Pretty in Pink

Threads of Gratitude: “Sew” Grateful
You know what? I’m really blessed. I’m blessed with a wonderful family. A family that makes me laugh, cry, and pull my hair out. A family that keeps me on my toes and grounds me to this earth. A family that makes my life crazy and keeps me sane. I couldn’t live without ’em and… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: “Sew” Grateful
Dance Fever!
It’s official – we’re dancin’ fools! This evening Matt and I went on a date. We went dancing! But we didn’t dance together the whole night long. In fact, Matt went out with a younger woman. I was escorted by a younger man. And we were both okay with the whole thing. WHAT?? Before you… Continue reading Dance Fever!
“Time for Tea!” (A Happy Birthday Story)
Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Crisana. She was a happy little girl, especially happy because she had just celebrated a birthday. She wanted to share this birthday with all her friends, but how? “I know!” cried Crisana. “I’ll invite my friends to a Teddy Bear Tea Party!” And so she… Continue reading “Time for Tea!” (A Happy Birthday Story)
Threads of Gratitude: Lab Coat Edition
What can I say? I know there’s a lot for me to be grateful for this week, but in my mind there’s really only one worth mentioning. This week, I’m grateful for healing. I’m grateful for doctors who provide medicine and care to help sick people get well…people like my husband, who as of this… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: Lab Coat Edition
Six Things I Love About You
It wasn’t that long ago that I was doing this. No, really. Just last week, as a matter of fact. But this time, it’s Crisana’s turn! On January 22, 2003, we welcomed a precious little baby girl into our lives. Everything about her has been a surprise, from finding out we were expecting another baby… Continue reading Six Things I Love About You
Smart Cookies
Today kicks off the annual Girl Scout cookie sale. And for the first time in my life, I get to participate!! Of course, I’ll be helping Crisana sell, but we all know it’s a lifelong dream fulfilled for me. Too bad they don’t make those cute little Brownie uniforms in adult sizes, ya know? In… Continue reading Smart Cookies
Sounds of the Season
I need to do a comprehensive Christmas post, but that involves uploading videos and resizing pictures and writing witty and creative content – none of which I am willing to do right now. So, in the meantime, I present to you my two most favorite piano students performing their Christmas songs. Enjoy! Note: The camera… Continue reading Sounds of the Season
Threads of Gratitude: Christmas Stocking Edition
*Â To be read to the tune of “The 12 Days of Christmas”* The first thing at Christmas that I am grateful for is a husband who loves me. The second thing at Christmas that I am grateful for is two awesome kids, and a husband who loves me. The third thing at Christmas that… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: Christmas Stocking Edition
Picture Perfect!
It’s a holiday tradition at our house that we take our children for Christmas portraits. That doesn’t sound so unusual until you realize that their birthdays come less than a month after Christmas…and they get portraits then, too. It doesn’t make sense to Matt, either, but in my mind there’s a perfectly logical reason. I’m… Continue reading Picture Perfect!
