Best Laid Plans…
I drew giant butterfly wings on our sidewalk for some cool photos with the kids. Nikki saw the wings and immediately complained that there were no antennae. I grumbled something under my breath and then just said, “Don’t worry about it, just let me take your picture.” She sighed with EXTREME frustration and said, “I guess I’ll just use my arms.” Wes, on the other hand, didn’t quite understand the concept. He rolled around in the chalk... Read More
Thank You, Harry
Thank you, Harry. For being a comfort back in the Spring of 2000 when I needed it most. I came home from a trip to the bookstore having splurged on the first three books in the series because I needed a distraction in my life. I was struggling as a single working mother finishing her college degree and those three books – which I finished in one weekend – brought me the joy I needed most during those anxiety-filled days. Thank you, Harry. For introducing me to... Read More
And The Tooth Fairy Had CASH Last Night! Which Is Lucky As She Normally NEVER Has Cash.
Guess What? WE LOST A TOOTH! Well, we lost a tooth the old-fashioned way.

This picture cracks me up for NUMEROUS reasons. Which I need today because I’ve been a little BLAH lately. And do you know why? Because I haven’t stopped eating in, like, three days. That’s the worse part about binging. It makes me want gain weight and lethargic, but it also makes me GRUMPY and IMPATIENT and also…well…a beeyatch. But this picture? HA! It makes it through my bitch barrier no problem. I always feel a tad guilty when I’m having... Read More
A Fun-Filled Productive Weekend
This is the ONE idea I’ve executed recently that I can not directly credit Pinterest for. I’ve had the idea for awhile after seeing it on some design show. Covering canvas with fabric. I’ve been wanting to do it in the dining room because it is a hard-wood floored room filled with wood furniture. PLUS it seats 8. Do you know what all of that added together creates? Conversational echos. It bugs me slightly and I hoped putting something fabric on the walls... Read More
