My mom has 2 sisters. One lives about 5 minutes from me. The other? About 15 hours. We rarely get to see her and her family. It’s sad because when I was born, all my aunts still lived in Atlanta. And since I was the first grandchild/niece I was quite the center of attention. So, [...]
In case you’re like me and haven’t wrapped ONE present yet (yes, I know, it’s Christmas Eve!), here’s my favorite way to embellish a gift! I originally published this last year and love it so much I thought I’d share it again!
When my dad was growing up, he and his family were very poor. One [...]
Our 10th Annual Sisterchick Party was last week. (Recap coming at some point before 2010, I hope.) The above picture is all our desserts. Yes, they are on the floor. Becky made Pioneer Woman’s Prune Cake, Mandi and Staci made Christmas Crack and there were about 12 other dishes I can’t remember in my sugar-induced [...]
I think I might be in the Christmas Spirit. I know. It’s only November 6th but wowza—we went to Target today and it was SO Christmasy! Lydia was getting so excited about the snowflakes hanging from the ceiling she said, “I love Target now! I never want to leave here!”
I think I might feel the [...]
Today is Sarah’s Virtual Packing Party on MomTV (1pmET)! I hope you can join us…well, I’ll be there as long as I get a shower in first. That’s the bad thing about vlogging…
Anywhoo–last week Lydia and I hit up Target (50% off the Dollar Spot!) and the Dollar Store for some awesome gifts to put [...]
“Mommy, do you know what I want for Christmas?” Lydia asked me the other day.
“What, baby?” Surprised that she’s thought this far in advance.
“I want one of those dolls that move and make noise and you have to take care of them. Can you get me that, pleeeeeease?
If there was one toy that I would [...]
Last year when we were taking the Christmas tree down, I couldn’t move because I was watching Sara Groves DVD about her trip to Africa. Yesterday, we picked up Sara Groves new Christmas album and although it’s not even on the same plane as Africa…you still have to hear it.
I found it on video so [...]
…all the decorations are being taken down!
Really? When do you take your decorations down? I hope not today. I’d love to keep mine up forever but my daughter’s birthday is January 5th. At least it gives me a good cut off date.
Anyway, I just wanted to share my very favorite AFTER Christmas tip with you. [...]
I wish I could send a Christmas card to every one of my bloggy friends! But alas, I didn’t send a card to even one person. I have a newborn. That’s a good excuse, right?!
Merry Merry Christmas!
Love you all!

My brother and me. Late 80’s. Shocker.
Aren’t you sad you didn’t know me then? You could have got one of these in the mail! The bad thing is that my aunt in California has the one on the bottom HANGING UP in her house. Like right now! 2008! *shudder*
