Seeing as how he was my first baby boy, I didn’t know what to expect. 
I’d heard horror stories, from moms of boys.  They warned of lizards in pockets, rocks in dryers, and bloody skinned up knees.
Perhaps those things are in my future.
I’m okay with that.
For now, I’m enjoying the sweet parts of this perfect little man, [...]

Yeah, so I’m curious how often these things happen in households across America.  Tell me how yours compares to mine.  
1.  The bathrooms in our house are cleaned once every two weeks. 
2.  We allow TV during dinner, but only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.
3.  Seafood is served, um, precisely, never.  (Shame on me, I know).
4. I [...]

     During our first summer in Arizona we went to the Grand Canyon.  We were campers then.  Granted we had a tent trailer, but c’mon we still had to walk to the nearest bathroom to use the facilities so I consider it camping.  I guess technically we didn’t have to walk to the bathroom.  It [...]

     Aren’t there more weddings in June than any other month?  I think I’ve heard that before.  Not that it matters really, cuz’ I haven’t been invited to any.  But, I did hear this really cute toast when I was at Disney World in April for the blogging event and I filed it away in [...]

I saw this video on the Today show last week and it really shook me.  It’s footage of a hit and run caught by a surveillance camera in Connecticut.  While it shows the impact itself, that, believe it or not, is not the most disturbing part of the video.  The part [...]

     Kellie tagged me for a meme.  It’s not your typical meme either. 
     What’s been one of the scariest (in a terrifying or humorous sense) thing you’ve ever experienced?
     I had to think awhile on this one.  I’ve been blessed to have not ever been involved in anything overtly terrifying.  Kellie wrote about her experience [...]

     You remember how I wrote here about Cassidy being my own little starlet?  Well, the proof is in the pudding right?  I thought I’d share some pictures of her last day of school.
 
 
 
     This child was an autograph signin’ fool that day!  Everywhere she turned there was a yearbook or a water bottle or a [...]

     I thought it might be fun to post pictures of the bits and pieces of my house.  Well, not my house really, but some of the things in my house that I love.  Since we’re just getting to know each other and all.  I mean, seriously, the inside of a person’s house says a lot about [...]

     I’ve got a quick and easy Finish This Sentence Friday for you.  Here goes:
     When it comes to ____________, the place I live has the market cornered.
     For me, this one is too easy.  I’ve always said that the sunsets here are the most gorgeous I’ve ever seen.   Especially during monsoon season.  After the downpour we’re frequently [...]

     Tomorrow is a sad day for us.  A day that I’ve known for a long time would eventually come but one that I’ve dreaded nonetheless.
     Our best friends are moving away. 
     They are more like family than friends really.  They’re certainly the closest thing we’ve got here in Southern Arizona. 
     Kelly and I became friends nearly four [...]
