Over the holidays I let my flickr stream get a bit messy and as a result I haven’t really showcased some pictures from various events. This is one of my favorite pictures from Christmas. It was the evening we had raclette (which was a substitute for our Christmas Eve tradition …

2010 has begun and the gals at I ♥ Faces are celebrating their first birthday! I missed last week’s challenge, but really hope to participating in more I ♥ Faces challenges this year.
This week, as they get their birthday celebration going, they ask for our “Best Face Photo” taken …
One of the highlights of my Christmas was the gift my guys gave me. Damon knew it was something I really, really, really, really wanted and it was probably going to be obvious when he gave it to me. So, he and Fuller worked together to make the actual giving …
Wednesday the stomach bug hit Damon. It had already been through my sons, so I guess it would seem natural to hit me as well. I guess I had blinders on because for some reason, on Wednesday, I was already looking forward to Thursday and spending a snow day with …
As is the case with my side of the family, Christmas get togethers mean group photos. Usually in clothing my mom picks out and buys for us. This year I was able to assist in the picking out of clothes and my sisters and I received cashmere sweaters! (I’ve wanted …
Yesterday we took a trip to the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Preserve. I had an exciting time taking way too many pictures. I uploaded over 300 pictures and narrowed it down to about 150.
I’ve been deleting pictures and editing those I want to keep with Picnik. One of the features …
I’ve decided to start a photo project to be completed while I am here in Wichita Falls, Texas. I’m scouring downtown (the area where my parents live) for interesting letters of the alphabet. I’ve done this type of project before, in my own neighborhood.
I thought it would be fun …
Easing into a vacation is always a good idea. Get to your destination, rest up a little, glance around, take a nap… then get into the nitty gritty of seeing the sights and making sure you “be there, do that.” And, I’m happy to report, thanks to yucky weather, we …
Before I write this review, I have to say I think I was a little off my rocker to sign up for this. Finding time to read was difficult, but I soon figured out how to nurse and hold a book in one hand.
When I was asked to review …
Today I didn’t expect to:
1) burn my thumb
2) slice my pinky
3) ruin a shirt with food coloring
Today I wanted to:
1) put things away in the attic
2) get out the suitcases
3) start packing
Today I actually accomplished:
1) making and decorating cupcakes for the school our Moms Group supports
2) four loads of laundry
3) …
I have been exhausted all day, and Tebow is definitely not to blame!
When I was up at 2:30 last night/ early this morning, I felt this painful lump in my neck. I’ve been having problems with allergies (who hasn’t?)- mainly itchy throat and stuffy nose- so I figured it was …
I’ve been getting more sleep lately, thanks to Tebow’s new found respect for the concepts of night and day. Last night I only had to get up once, which made me fine with starting the day at 6:30, the next time he woke up.
But since I’m better rested, I …
Yesterday was Free Cone Day at Ben and Jerry’s. Our family made sure to be there for our free ice cream. We went last year and it will probably become a family tradition.
When I was taking the kids downtown (with visions of ice cream in my head), Damon called to …
As I’ve been trying to find my footing in the path to our “new normal” I have been thinking a lot about priorities. I think the idea was planted in my mind by Besty and her kind suggestion of putting only three items on the to-do list.
I have tried, …
No matter how you say it, ten is the number of years Damon and I have been married. April 10, 1999 was a beautiful day, full of joy and happiness for us both. The last ten years have been a roller coaster of events, emotions, and dreams. And I know …
