Do Kids Need This Crap (Pun Intended)??

The above picture is a poop emoji. For those who have never seen it before, it is part of our pop culture now. You can literally type "poop" in a text message and this emoji becomes an option for you to insert into your conversation. I suppose I understand certain scenarios where this emoji would … Continue reading Do Kids Need This Crap (Pun Intended)?? →

Christmas 2022 – A Look Back

Hello, my friends. When I last blogged, we were gearing up for a big snow storm. While we didn't get as much as they were saying, roads were still dangerous and as a bonus we got our white Christmas. I had to laugh at something I saw on Facebook, and had to share here. This … Continue reading Christmas 2022 – A Look Back →

Pre-Holiday Weekend Wrap Up

It is hard to believe that we are just 4 days away from Christmas. Someone observed that time moves a whole lot faster in December if you are an adult. This is so true! As a kid, it seemed to crawl by as we waited for Christmas. SNOW! This weekend kept us pretty busy. We … Continue reading Pre-Holiday Weekend Wrap Up →

2022 Holiday Photo Shoot

We were supposed to get some quick holiday photos last week. The day before our appointment, the kids were still under the weather. I made the call to our photographer and asked if we could either reschedule the session or put the money toward our future appointment for Ella's birthday pictures. She graciously said that … Continue reading 2022 Holiday Photo Shoot →

Under The Weather

We've had quite the run of germs at our house. First, Andrew had the runny nose, cough, and ear infection. Then Sam got a wicked sore throat that seemed to last for days. Ella has been congested, coughing, not really sleeping and fevers off an on. I have a nasty sinus infection with a cough. … Continue reading Under The Weather →

Are We Creative Enough To Do This For a Month?

I swore up and down that I would never do the whole Elf on the Shelf thing.  Sometimes, however, circumstances make you go back on your word. My mother-in-law sent home an Elf on the Shelf before Thanksgiving.  So now, we're in it to win it.  Ok, we'll do the best we can to make … Continue reading Are We Creative Enough To Do This For a Month? →

Thanksgiving 2022 Recap

The holiday weekend is winding down and I hope that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Ours was a good day filled with great food and family. The day started with a quick game of hide and seek. We watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The kids loved seeing Josh from Blue's Clues and Bluey in … Continue reading Thanksgiving 2022 Recap →

Giving Thanks (Updated)

When I worked on the radio, we would often “recycle” bits. We would take something we had done in the past and “re-run” it, often updating it to be current. This blog is actually a recycling of an earlier Thanksgiving blog from three years ago, updated for 2022. I have gained many new followers over … Continue reading Giving Thanks (Updated) →

Gulp!

I had to take Andrew to have a Barium Swallow Test this week. It was yet another test tied to the laryngomalacia. Since he had his surgery, it seems like he is having trouble swallowing food and drink. If you've never had one of these, I don't recommend them. I had one done some time … Continue reading Gulp! →

Frosty Fun

We've had a few snow flurries in the area over the past few weeks, but nothing that actually stuck to the ground. I snapped the above picture along I-75 on my way home from work yesterday morning. I absolutely love when the snow coats the branches of the trees. It is just so beautiful. When … Continue reading Frosty Fun →
