One On One

I took Tucker, who just turned 8, to NYC this past weekend as our gift to him. He has wanted to go to NYC for years and this year it just seemed right. He is old enough to remember the adventures and to put it simply, he deserved the trip and we were able to … Continue reading →

How To Wash A Car: A Pictorial

I love to write, but I know that sometimes words are utterly pointless. I can recognize when it is futile to even put my fingers to keyboard and attempt to capture a moment. Honestly, I believe that images often tell a story with greater impact than any word or words can do. Here’s hoping your re-entry into Monday has a … Continue reading →

Cheap Thrills

Not sure about you, but to the extent that I can save a buck, I’m a happy mom. The weather’s been great and the sun shinning. While the pollen levels have been cataclysmic, we’ve managed to spend hours outside thus far on our Spring Break.  While my fellow mom friends are hitting up places like Disney World, … Continue reading →

Drum Roll Please…

I must confess we’ve known the sex of our baby since 16 weeks. Sorry for being so sneaky and all, but we couldn’t help ourselves. After passing out at the hospital (story here) and having two ultrasounds during my overnight stay there, the two OB’s who saw me were very confident in what they had seen and we were … Continue reading →

Opening Day

Two boys. Two teams. Two schedules. and… Two unique personalities. Makes for one great spring spent at the ball fields.

New Traditions and What If’s

With Paul off with Cooper at Home Depot collecting materials to build a fire station for his collection of life-size fire trucks around the house, I hung out in the backyard with Tucker playing football this morning. He seemed rather quiet and contemplative so I asked him if he wanted to take a walk. He perked up … Continue reading →

Super Belly Bowl

Since the Jets took out our beloved Patriots in the playoffs my super fans devastation has only recently worn off. New England Patriots Super Fan: Playoff Loss Devastation   As fans, we have no real passion for tonight’s game, but we’ll make the best of it and choose a team to cheer for and put our heart and voices behind. Consensus, last … Continue reading →

Milestones

I opened my eyes this morning only to have two eyes and a button nose staring back at me. “Good Morning Mommy! Can I have my Eggs and Bacon?” he called running out of the room. I rolled out of bed, stepped into my slippers, grabbed my glasses and headed to the kitchen scrolling through the 23 emails … Continue reading →

What We Saw

We ventured out today to fetch some needed groceries. Staples like more eggs, sandwich makings, bribery candy, yogurt and anything that would fit in my backpack.   We walked. The exercise was great and we survived at least a half-dozen near wipe outs on the ice and the boys ate enough snow and ice to keep them … Continue reading →

Snowmageddon Southern Style

Tomorrow is day three of being stranded at home.   Unless you’re living under a rock, the South got slapped with a nasty winter storm. It’s chaos here. Measuring just over 7 inches of white fluff at our house with a sleek layer of ice on top from hours of sleet Monday, it’s a beautiful disaster. At … Continue reading →

Plain and Simple

I’ve been a slacker lately and taken a bit of a mental break from writing. I’ve been listening to your recent grumbling about my silence and I’m sorry for the break. Trust me, there’s plenty coming down the pike, but to be honest, I’ve enjoyed the mental break and distance from my computer.   We enjoyed an outstanding Christmas and … Continue reading →

Merry Snowy Christmas 2010

Courtesy of a rare Southern snow storm, we’re being treated with an extraordinary white Christmas here in Atlanta. A Christmas we’ll remember for years to come not simply because we’ve spent the entire day in our PJ’s , but because wishes can come true when you’re little and wish for snow on Christmas.  Here’s a … Continue reading →
