Mommy, do you want to dance?Posted by Alli on October 15, 2009
How awesome is it when you put on some music and suddenly your five year old asks you to dance? Melts your heart, right? That’s what happened wen I put in the latest Harry Connick, Jr CD, Your Songs, on the CD player in the living room. Fuller and I had a sweet ten minutes [...]
Five years of motherhoodPosted by Alli on October 5, 2009
What five years of motherhood looks like. Fuller turned five today. This means I have been a mother for five years. I wanted to be a mother for such a long time. I knew I wanted to be a mom before I knew I wanted to be married. I even had grand plans to be [...]
Decompression before debriefingPosted by Alli on September 27, 2009
Late last night I was driving home from Asheville, counting the miles until I was pulling into my parking spot. And once I was here, I worked quickly to get Tebow and our stuff inside so I could get us both to bed. Even with sleeping late and taking a nap this afternoon, I’m still [...]
I came, I saw, I’m having fun!Posted by Alli on September 24, 2009
This morning I left my driveway at 10 a.m. on the dot. With a bit of traffic to deal with and a couple of stops to help Tebow, I made it to the Type A Mom Conference. After registration (complete with swag bags), I let Tebow explore the room while I got situated. A little [...]
Happy Birthday Moma :: Top Ten TuesdayPosted by Alli on August 11, 2009
Today is my mom’s 60th birthday. I feel badly that I can’t be there to help her celebrate this momentous occasion (momentous because it is a birthday that ends in 0) or bake her a cake. But she would say we shouldn’t eat the cake, so never mind. Instead, I give you my Top Ten [...]
I Heart Faces :: Funny, Silly FacesPosted by Alli on August 10, 2009
So this week’s I ♥ Faces theme is Funny, Silly Faces. As I was gleaning my pictures from the weekend, this picture of my niece Genevieve made me giggle. First, it is just funny how messy an almost-two year old can get. Secondly, we just had a fun weekend with my sisters and this picture [...]
It feels like a 3 day weekendPosted by Alli on August 8, 2009
My sisters are in town and we are getting a lot of fun visiting in. It has the feel of a three day weekend, since the fun started on Friday and won’t let up until tomorrow afternoon. And I’m starting to get the cold Fuller passed on to Tebow, so just check out the happy [...]
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 [...]
My Babywearing JourneyPosted by Alli on June 12, 2009
Stephanie over at Adventures in Babywearing asked for readers to show off their babywearing stash. Babywearing isn’t something I really have written about, but it is now a part of my life. Since I wanted to show off my stash, I thought I would share a little bit about my journey to calling myself a [...]
Meet up in real lifePosted by Alli on June 1, 2009
A few weeks ago I was reading another homeschool blogger’s recount of visiting her area homeschool bookfair. What she was most excited about wasn’t drooling over the books and discovering new ways to teach her children, but meeting other homeschool bloggers! I was a tad wistful, wishing there were homeschool bloggers in my area I [...]
