Let Me Entertain You :: Julie & JuliaPosted by Alli on August 6, 2009
Earlier this summer Damon emailed me a link to a movie trailer. It was for, Julie and Julia, a movie based on the book of the same name. He thought, since I was a blogger, I would know about it. Truth was, I had no idea about the blog or the book, let alone the [...]
Let me entertain you (or life without cable)Posted by Alli on July 30, 2009
When America made the switch to digital television (it’s a law, ya’ll!), we ditched our cable and hooked up an antenna on the top of our house. We get a very clear picture on the stations we currently get (14 total). With the reduction in channels, it is very easy to turn the television off [...]
Library Day for MomPosted by Alli on June 18, 2009
This afternoon I had two sleeping boys and I read for about thirty minutes straight. It was so nice and a very rare treat for me. And I have the library website to thank for it. Thursday is usually library day for us. We go so Fuller can participate in Story Time. While he listens [...]
MadnessPosted by Alli on March 2, 2009
As is it now March and it is our family tradition, we are looking forward to next week. We will pack up our family of four and head down to Tampa for the Men’s SEC Basketball Tournament. We are excited because it looks like Auburn has a chance this year to play in more than [...]
Game nightPosted by Alli on February 28, 2009
Our church hosted a game night today. Fuller and Damon had a lot of fun playing different games and I just enjoyed being out of the house. Tebow was tucked away in his carseat, sleeping the entire time.
Girls Night OutPosted by Alli on January 24, 2009
I’m posting my photo a day now since I have no idea when I’ll get home or if I’ll feel like touching a computer. We spent a good portion of the day sorting toys. Part of the process was emptying bins and getting out the stuff that didn’t belong there. The vehicle bin (mostly cars, [...]
Who doesn’t like movies?Posted by Alli on January 12, 2009
A few weekends ago, Damon and I started using the Redbox DVD rental kiosk at the local Walgreens. While it hasn’t been an every night activity for us, it has allowed us to cheaply get back into watching some movies. Yesterday we watched Indiana Jones (not even worth the $1 rental fee) and then after [...]
December 23rd :: Cookie funPosted by Alli on December 24, 2008
Yesterday I was craving sugar. I wanted fudge, frosting, and anything else I could get my sweet tooth wrapped around. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any of those things in the house. So, when I went to the grocery store to gather the goods for the Christmas breakfast, I picked up a tub of sugar cookie [...]
December 18th :: Photo ops everywherePosted by Alli on December 18, 2008
Who needs to stand in line at a mall to see a bearded white guy in a red suit? Who needs to head to expensive amusement parks to see holiday lights and hear holiday sounds? We just take our camera with us everywhere and I tell my guys to stand in front of things like [...]
December 15th :: MemoriesPosted by Alli on December 15, 2008
Today the postman brought back another piece of my childhood- The Best Christmas Pageant Ever on DVD. Last year I had a hankering for A Christmas Memory. This year, when Carrie wrote about The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, I added it to my Amazon cart before I had my second cup of coffee. I watched [...]
