Well, here we are getting ready to enter my favorite season of autumn and I've entered a new season of being stay-at-home mom, as well. I feel like I've been put through the ringer over the past few months. It's been a whirlwind to say the least. After our visit to...

Message to the Ice Cream Man
Please consider taking your break during peak nap time hours instead of driving through subdivisions promptly at 2pm EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK with your LOUD calliope music that wakes up sleeping children from the nap that they and their mothers so desperately need! We...
Thank Goodness for Guardian Angels
I really do believe that each of has a guardian angel. I've been through too many "close calls" to believe otherwise and now I thank God every day for keeping my children safe in spite of me! Call it laziness or stupidity, but I had stopped buckling Anna in her...
Body Envy
Audrey loves singing songs about whatever she feels like singing about. It's often about what she did that day or her current thoughts in general. One evening after going fishing with Justin and our next door neighbors in our subdivision pond, I was giving her a bath...
Words from a 2-year-old
It's becoming increasingly difficult/funny to explain complex concepts to Audrey because the short, child-friendly explanation is sometimes no longer sufficient for her and it's so funny the way she sometimes gets things mixed up. Some cases in point:#1. The other day...
I Cut Hair At Least As Well As Great Clips
So, either Justin really trusts me or he just really doesn't care about his appearance. We purchased an electric razor with guides, so we can save a few bucks by having me cut Justin's hair. Today was the first attempt and I must say it didn't end in disaster, which...

So, I mentioned our possible move to the desert. Justin has a job opportunity that could take us out to the Phoenix area in about a year. It's not something we'd have to do, but he's always wanted to live out there and I feel like this is the time in our life for us...
Desert and Dessert: Big Choices Ahead
If someone would have told me 2 months ago that I would be doing the following I would have called them nuts. It's amazing how your world can change in a matter of days. There's so much behind each of these statements that I'll write about each of them in detail...

The Scene: Me sitting at the table as Audrey comes into the dining room after going potty.Audrey: Mom, I have a coupon in my underwear.Me: What?Audrey (completely serious): I'm pretending the toilet paper is a coupon.Me: What do you mean?Audrey (with exaggerated...
Brain Dump Forthcoming
Ok. It's been so long since I've been on here that I have a million random things to write about. There's been much going on and processing it all has taken every last brain cell I have, so blogging had to wait. I've found that I have to internalize things and stew...
