We’re Back!
Lily is taking first grade right in stride, just as I knew she would. This little fashionista is her mother’s daughter, though, I promise you, I didn’t have NEARLY the fashion sense she does at age six. Anyway, she jumped out of bed yesterday and rushed off to meet the rest of her life. These […]
Do Your Best
I decided to organize a little Back-to-School Feast for our beautiful first-grade queens, Lily and Julia. They head off on that big yellow bus in the morning, but tonight: lasagna, cupcakes, crowns and a fashion show! Our theme: Do Your Best! Miss Lily will have Mrs. Starkey, who was MY first-grade teacher 25 years ago!! […]
Sweet Fair Days and A Tribute to Belle
So, when I was about 12 years old, my parents convinced me to take a pig to the fair as a 4-H project. I wasn’t too keen on the idea, but my sister, who must have been 14, and my brother, 11, were taking pigs as well, and the care was split three ways. We […]
To Have and To Hold
Wow. I sure am glad I have this handsome man to have and to hold the rest of my life. As predicted, it was a big weekend full of emotion. Saw some meteors, went to a fantastic wedding, saw old friends and family… and had some tense and sad moments as well. But I’m through […]
Warning: Big Weekend Ahead
Colby passed out in a precarious position on the loveseat after a long morning of yard sales and cleaning the house. Meanwhile, the other two kids were proud to show off their yard sale finds….We’ve got a very special friend campfire to enjoy tonight, a wedding that will be gorgeous, fun and kid-free tomorrow and […]
Back to the Basics
Somewhere around here, I have a couple of gorgeous photos of my husband and son, Max, in a field with a barn in the background. It was taken my my aunt Patti after a fall hike on her and my uncle Terry’s farm. I had the pleasure of spending some time there tonight “working” and […]
A Perfect Weekend
My sweet Colby and I about to dip into the lake! I’m pretty beat tonight, but I made an effort this weekend to take more photos of my life to share with all of you. After a Friday morning of yard sales with the boys, I headed off to shop with Lily. It was fantastic! […]
The Fight for Pillow Pets
So, yeah, have any of you other moms seen the Pillow Pets commercial on TV? My kids have, and they want Pillow Pets! So much so that when I told Lily I have arranged for the two of us to finally have “Girl Day” tomorrow afternoon for school shopping and other fun, she said all […]
Quiet on the Mind Front
So I feel a little bit like Lil looks in the photo above. I guess I’m a little burnt out on blogging right now, but I’m feeling pretty peaceful and comfortable in general. I’m gaining weight, or at least gaining a belly. I tell ya, the fourth shows quickly. I’m bidding farewell to the first […]
