I attended this great parenting workshop at church last night. Have I mentioned how much I love our new family church it just fits so well! The workshop had some great and simple concepts that just clicked. In fact just in the past day I’ve seen how they can really change parenting approaches and sometimes [...]
Well rounded

It’s funny how one word can really mean so much. There are so many things that I am proud of mb for. I love hearing how she is so worldly and loves learning about new cultures. And sneakily checks out a book about learning Italian. But it’s this word that stuck with me this afternoon. [...]
It’s over

Kindergarten is over. I will admit I am still in shock. I don’t know where this year went. I look back at the work MB did this year and the pictures of her throughout the year and I can see how much she has grown. How her pretty princess pictures have gotten more detailed. How [...]
Love watching brains grow

I laid in bed this morning and did some reverse role play. “I am starving, who is going to feed me”. They opted to take me to First Watch for breakfast. I splurged with pecan pancakes. Extra extra yummy. But that is watching my belly grow not brains. As with all family friendly eateries…they had [...]

Just like that. No bells or whistles. A couple of nice bottles of red. Hanging out with my love and his family, watching Tin Cup. Then the ball dropped….and it was 1/1/11. We spent 1/1/11 heading home. We picked up MB from her dad’s and caught our flight back to AZ. Back to the sun…and [...]

Ok so MB would probably hate that I was writing this post, but fortunately she can’t read just yet. Today seemed like a normal day. We got MB off to school and then I sent TB off to work. After a full day of this and that I headed to the bus stop. Off came my little [...]
A surprise visit from Czech

The “big” gift for MB this year was a visit from Czech. I was very lucky to have had a live-in au pair when MB was an infant/toddler. I had one girl from about 3mths to 1 year and it was good….then I had SJ come join us. She was amazing. A kindergarten teacher from [...]

Today is your birthday! 6 years old. I can’t believe it. You are just as sweet as you were the day you were born. This past year has been another eventful one. Never a dull moment with you sweetie. Here are just a few of the recaps from your 5th year of life. We went [...]
Spiders, Spiders, and a Pillow

Leave it to grandpa to bring out the best Halloween memory. When I was little I was scared of spiders. I still don’t really like the 8-legged creatures, but I have learned to kill them. Well my dad had the cure. He got the biggest ugliest nastiest black plastic spider he could find and put [...]
