Just another day in paradise
Life through the wardrobe is every freakin’ thing it was cracked up to be. The smile on his face says it all. We had a day together today. Alone. Just he and I. It was simply radical.
Love is, a day at the beach with your friends. The laundry can always wait, ya know.
But life, it just breezes by so fast. So, make bad choices…. But only if they involve views like this and this Love you girls. The day was the best.
…..is directly related to how bright, cloudless and caribbean blue the sky is today.  Running, listening to music, and feeling good. A rare self portrait for you all on this amazing, 80 degree day.
At noon on the 23rd, my husband will come home from an 8-5, M-F job, and on Monday morning, will still be home. It is his last week of work, and as he closes that door behind him, another one has opened in front of him. A door leading to a good job, with great [...]
In an effort to try my hand at homeschooling, this semester I started doing some supplimental science projects with my kids. I ordered a dissection kit and each week we are tackling one marine creature. This week it was the squid. My background is in marine biology, so I was jazzed when the big box came…..several weeks ago. [...]
Bill gave me a lovely Valentine card. It was very sweet and thoughtful. Sort of mushy and such. It was how he signed it that made me LOL and have the strong urge to bottle him and sell him to those less fortunate. Happy Valentines Day! Thanks for being such an Awesome Good wife and mother! Love, Billy Obviously, we have a catch-phrase to [...]
Cody, one year of age. His fingers, toes, those rolls of fat everywhere….and those giant cheeks! That child was scrumptious. Like a big, giant popover muffin. Smothered in strawberry jam. And butter. I can still remember how he felt in my arms. Like a 20lb butterball. Like a piece of a puzzle. Perfect. **We call him Teeter, because when [...]
I put Pig tails in my daughters hair. Bows too. I thought that she looked adorable.
So, what did my daughter do? She cried. Alot. And she said “Mom, I don’t want these curly things in my hair. They are awesome dumb”. Add bows to the list of “things that must never touch my daughter or she will shriek [...]
He looks so young and wonderful. I want to climb into that hammock with him and run my hands through his hair….or nibble his neck. I promise I will get back to posting very soon, but my family broke or something. It is like Pharaoh still won’t freakin’ let His people go and the plague has [...]
Dude, you are mine!
My oldest had the flu all weekend…..then he missed 3 days of school because he was so ill. Then the middle one got fever, sore throat. Aches. Now I sit here with Quinn sleeping on the floor of the bathroom so he can make it to the toilet in time to barf. The school called and [...]
Awesome. Amazing. Beautiful. Go see for yourselves. Bring a tissue.
The day I learned that I really could lay down my life for another human being
Teenage Bill, surfing in Hawaii And I wonder why my kids are so naturally thin.
I have another kiddo down with the flu and he is feeling pretty bad, so photos will work, right? We really enjoyed our weekend away. It was a delayed b-day celebration for me, having been sick last week. Kemah/Clear Lake was the destination. Having fun and looking at boats was the goal. We scored on both levels. Top [...]
In a beautiful pea green boat, They took some honey, and plenty of money, Wrapped up in a five pound note. This weekend will mark the first official weekend that Bill and I actively begin the quest for the perfect sailboat. This is also where the problem begins. See, my idea of what a sailboat should be and his [...]

The owner has it set up with wonderful little tables everywhere, and intimate little groupings of furniture. You can grab a foreign [...]
