Don’t try to follow my train of thought. It derailed awhile back.
1) Speaking of trains, Ferris “rode her potty train to the end” this week. We started with her Special Potty Day last Monday. Yesterday (Monday again) she finished it off by getting 26 stickers (successes) in a row on her chart!! Woo-Hoo.
Her reward was [...]
As you know, I’ve been busy. Things are crazy around here these days.
School, housework, graphic design projects, dishes, laundry, registering all of our town’s Babe Ruth / Cal Ripken baseball players, preparing for a baby shower we’re hosting for a friend, laundry, baking cookies, dishes, and all this while my husband goes a mile a minute [...]
It’s really cold and snowy here in northwest Indiana. I really need to do some grocery shopping.
Nate’s work schedule is crazy busy this week… But the idea of taking 6 kids grocery shopping and trying to unload the cart and buckle seatbelts with wind swirling the zero-degree temps around us just didn’t appeal to [...]
Today’s my birthday. I’ve reached that point in my life when I’d rather celebrate my kids’ than my own. I don’t mind getting older though, because heck, these 6 kids had to come with time, right?
Anyway, my husband surprised me this morning by giving me a gift that’s big, shiny, sleek and RED.
Ahhh!
*Squeal!*
No, it’s not [...]
We’re celebrating the birthday of my dreamboat husband, today! Wooo-Hooo!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BABY!
The ingredients are ready for your birthday meatloaf, mashed potatoes and turnip / collard greens. A chocolate mayonnaise cake is in the works.
Six darling children and one smokin’ hot wife is waiting for you to return home from the airport so the festivities can [...]
Yesterday, we celebrated our 8th anniversary!
Neither of us can believe it’s been 8 years. Yet, we look around and see six smiling faces and know it must be true!
My husband is a treasure to me in so many ways. He “gets me” better than anyone else. Case in point:
The flu has hit us [...]
The only thing cooler than having your Dad show up at the playground to play with you in his squad car is when he pushes you, your brothers and sisters, and half the neighborhood of kids really, really fast on the merry-go-round.
So fast that your brother flies off.
He’s that cool.
Yesterday, we visited a “new” playground. [...]
I’ll admit that I’m not the best pregnant lady out there. My poor husband! I figure, since he’s half the reason for my condition, I should be allowed to complain to him about whatever’s ailing me…
This pregnancy has been a plethora of symptoms, one right after another, but often overlapping. I realized the other day [...]
My dreamy husband Nate and I were made for each other. While one of is smart, the other is smarter… When one of us is goofy, the other is goofier.
We were just discussing the idea of taking up the carpet in our living room due to the discovery of Brady’s allergy to dust mites. (The [...]
Saturday was Valentine’s Day… and this year, Nate and I actually got to go on a date! Nana was visiting, so she watched the crew while Nate and I went to our church’s Valentine Banquet. It was great fun!
We don’t generally exchange gifts on days like this. I’m much too practical. I always think of [...]
