How do you know that you are a total and complete cawfee addict…..a freak of giganticus proportions?
When your 2yo daughter does not immitate you cleaning, but knows the sequence one must follow in order to produce the perfect cup of macchiato because she has seen it more times than she has seen you clean the [...]

You know, the photo montage down below that I posted a few days ago……..there is a little snip in the middle with some video of a little skateboarder. It seems slightly out of place with the photos. Well, that was Quinn. The significance of it is that he was using his [...]

He did not get them from me.

I can’t even begin to tell you how much fun it is to be with my husband. He is such a good time. Surfing, swimming, soaking up the warmth and laughing ’til our faces hurt.

I feel lucky to still be so damn deep in love with my husband [...]

Now you know where Mia and Cory get their aqua eyes.

Another turning point
a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist,
directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test
and don’t ask why.
Its not a question
But a lesson learned in time.
It’s something unpredictable,
but in the end its right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
The Time of our Lives
Thank you all [...]

Okay, so! If you answered “C”, you may move on to Part II! As much as I would like to say that my daughter did not play in her poop, you can only imagine my relief that she did not eat change. She had raided the boys piggy banks and there [...]

“Don’t worry Mom, we climb down this way every time. Just watch for snakes.” said to me by my oldest as I peered down into the vine and brush filled slant toward the creek.

After sliding down the leaf strewn hill, this old chick and her 2 boys climbed along the ground under a [...]

I have been tagged by Black Belt Mama for the Weird Meme.
Meme’s are new to me. I used to make fun of them, but this one was fun to read from others, so I did it…..I’ve actually completed it before, but can easily find 6 more weird things about myself, so here [...]

It is not our anniversary. Nor is it his birthday. Nothing special. I am just thinking about him.

He is my heart and soul. I love him more than I will ever be able to show.
I wait with excitement for him to come home.
I catch myself staring at him.

I WANT [...]

It was time. Time to hit the stores and venture down the Easter section at Target, Walmart and Walgreens. I had avoided it long enough. If I waited any longer, my kids would be getting the combed over remnants, which included sugar free chocolate rabbits (the horror) and Peeps (gagamaggot, this years [...]

Our water heater started leaking……..actually, it has been leaking drop, by drop for at least a month. The boards were wet under it, and it was slimy and icky. Bill extracted the heater yesterday afternoon, bought a new one and installed it. It leaked too. Then he had to go into [...]

Today was especially bad. The boys [...]
