Have you ever stopped to think about the impact we make on this world? Have you ever stopped to think about the garbage that we daily consume and throw out? Have you ever thought about what it would be like if we all reduced our trash for one day…much less, for an entire year…or *gasp* […]

Baby L has been incredibly cranky since yesterday.  It was only a few days ago that I could stash her in her playpen for a few hours moments as I cleaned and um…did other stuff blogged.  But, now?  This playpen thing is met with loud sobs and the “crumple face.”  The word “No.” even elicits […]

I got the itch again during Lorelei’s nap-time. No, I don’t have some weird fungal infection…I mean, the creative itch…I needed to do something with my hands…my mind.

I will tell you that the bossman was kind and he made an […]

Take a look to the left…it’s a new page.  “Bloggy Directory.”
So, I had this idea: Why not make a master list of cool bloggers all around the world and separate them out according to where they live??

Friday, Baby L got some mail (just in time for her birthday) from her great-grandparents.  My Ma (we call them Ma and Pa) had had surgery (kidney removed, actually) not too long ago and wasn’t quite feeling up to the party.  So, she sent a card and money…and here’s L with it on her Birthday […]

I am really really excited about tomorrow.  So much so that you’d think it was MY birthday!  I LOVE throwing parties.  I just finished baking 36 cupcakes and 2-3 mini cakes (technically 3, but I’m going to stack 2 of them …so we’ll end up with 2 cakes…these are the Lorelei cakes) AND I made […]
