Oh.yes.we.did.

March 16, 2011

Today the kids’ new swim suits came via UPS, so what better way to celebrate?  We kicked off the river season! It was breezy, sunny, and in the upper 70s. A little earlier in the year than we usually get the nerve to hit the Frio, but it was a blast. The kids were so [...]

A bit o’ randomness

March 10, 2011

Random Bit #1: A few minutes ago, I asked Mia to pick up her blocks for the 243rd time. I included that if she didn’t clean them up, she would go straight down for her nap without finishing Jake & the Neverland Pirates! She promptly turned the TV off and said, I’m ready for my [...]

Mom Moments

March 4, 2011

There are so many directions I could go with this post. I could twist it to be a totally hilarious been-there-done-that mom moment. It could be a tear-jerker oh-my-god-I-don’t-believe-I-was-so-horrible mom moment. Mom Moments. There are good ones that make your heart soar to new heights. There are bad ones that crush your heart like a [...]

Happy Anniversary

March 3, 2011

Yesterday was my 8th wedding anniversary. How did that happen?! Brian and I have actually been together for almost 13 years. Just saying that makes me feel a little, okay a LOT, old. Or at least older. On a day to day basis though? I feel pretty young. So we’ll just ignore the numbers and [...]

Memories

February 7, 2011

Tonight, after the kids were tucked in to their cozy, warm beds and sound asleep, Lisa and I uncorked a delicious bottle of red wine. We pulled out the chips and homemade salsa with plans of scrap booking, but instead we talked. We talked about the days long before children, or even husbands, ever crossed [...]

Gone Fishin’

January 30, 2011

Is it really January? Because today it was ridiculously warm and sunny here in west-central Texas. Eighty degrees to be exact. (Don’t be a hater, Melissa. I know it was -19 there today. You should totally move here.) Since the weather was so fabulous, we put on our shorts (!),  packed up the kids and [...]

The perfect pants

January 14, 2011

I have indeed found the perfect pair of pants. They are Champion yoga pants and they are from Target. I love Target for so many reasons, and I love it even more now. They are perfect for running, walking, lounging, cooking and cleaning. Heck, they’re perfect for sleeping in, too. Just get up, put them [...]

Pimping the ride

January 4, 2011

I just requested the services of a fabulous blog pimper named Ryan. You might have read him over at the Sisterhood, or No More Bacon. He also pimps blog rides over at Revive My Blog (which totally should have been called Pimp My Blog, but he just wouldn’t listen). So in the next few days [...]

Hello 2011

January 3, 2011

In the past year, I haven’t written much here. Life has been busy. Other things have taken precedence. I may have been a little lazy. I really want that to change. I’ve been writing here for almost 5 years. FIVE YEARS. That’s truly amazing to me. I look back over those 5 years and I’m [...]
