  • Mini-update

    1) We haven’t made it to the glasses shop to buy Skyler glasses yet. It’s been a crazy busy week for both Ronnie and I, and after two doctor appointments for Skyler last week, we just haven’t had time to take off. I hope Target Optical is open on Saturday, because that is when I…

  • Weekend Update

    I hate getting behind on here. Every day that goes by that I haven’t updated about certain things adds to the stress of having to write one long, boring blog post. And so then I keep avoiding it and the problem spirals deeper. We are anxiously awaiting Spring! Last week we had that little tease…

  • Edited

    Sometimes I think I might shut down the blog and cease writing. Each week goes by and I realize I haven’t yet written a post, and this doesn’t sit well with me. Isn’t it an unwritten rule that bloggers have to write at least once per week and really good ones do far more than…

  • 2010 Recap

    1. What did you do in 2010 that you’d never done before? Family vacation with Skyler, including, riding in a Bentley. Ran my best pace in a race. Negotiated down the price of a car, all by myself! 2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year? Halfway.…

  • Life as We Know It

    If you start a blog post out with “Not a lot of excitement in our household lately…” it’s probably not the best way to keep anyone who happens upon this post enticed to keep reading. So I won’t. But, I guess we’re in kind of status quo land lately. Ronnie is super busy at work…

  • Hodge Podge

    – Halloween was a success! I was going to do a whole blog post on it but haven’t had the time…maybe that will come later. Skyler’s persistence to be Goofy worked out despite the lack of readily available costumes. It just forced this mama to get creative, and who doesn’t love going to the craft…

  • Testing, Testing 1, 2, 3

    That’s what Skyler does to me on a daily basis. It seems amplified since having spent almost 24-7 together the last 12 days. I made it back to work yesterday, which was actually a much needed break for me, but then today had childcare fall through and had to stay home with her. Vacation was…

  • Needy

    I need more of these things, at least… – Naps – Favorite jeans – Quiet time reading a good book – Date nights – Long runs – Time and scenery to take photos – Time to download photos – Long vacations – Three day weekends – Time to paint – Decorations for this house –…

  • It’s the Little Things

    Our household has faced a few hurdles these past couple weeks, mostly related to household appliances. First was the thermostat that we thought had crapped out on a nearly 100 degree day. Luckily it was just batteries, but we didn’t have it totally figured out till after my brother, who works for a KC heating…

  • My Fabulous Life

    Almost three years into this chapter and role of my life, I still question myself if I was cut out for this parenting thing. I figure I always will. I never wanted kids that bad. It wasn’t a 100%, but I knew I wouldn’t have ever missed it had it never happened to us. I…
