All Meaned Up

August 30, 2010

The {little} man in my house is embarking on a very big transition this week: preschool. Honestly, I didn’t have preschool in mind for him.  He’s my baby, after all.  I feared preschool would–and I know this might sound silly–but I feared preschool would “mean him up.” I don’t want him meaned up.  I like [...]

Fun. Relatively Speaking.

August 29, 2010

A certain someone in my house is of the belief that “fun” escapes me. A certain someone is of this belief because I’ve always told this certain someone to “work first, play later.” A certain someone seems to have misunderstood that to mean work when you’re young, play when you’re old.

Yes, I’d read the book (and subsequently sobbed my way through the ending mind you).  I’d also seen the previews.  And of course there was the fact that adorable little Abigail Breslin played a starring role; I loved her so [...]

May 29, 2009

There are plenty of reasons why I like to shop alone. 1. I don’t have to search for my children as they hide within the racks of clothing. 2. I’m free to take all the time I want in deciding between two shades of the same shirt. 3.  There are no strollers to impede my [...]

Watch Your Language Preacher Man

February 22, 2009

Today will go down in history as the day we wore out our welcome at church. Didn’t think it was possible to wear out one’s welcome at church didya? Apparently you haven’t met Cassidy. Little backstory here: A couple of weeks ago I read a post written by the fabulous Michelle at Scribbit.  In it, [...]
