Hot Salad

Todd left at 5:30 am with Var, off to the hospital.  They had bloodwork to do, then the chest x-ray to see if he’s clear enough for surgery.  I have prayed that he’s cleared, and am hoping that he’s either IN or on his way TO this surgery he needs so bad.  If not it [...]

I think it’s finally here.  Our seeds are started.  The bird feeders and baths are full.  The sedum are creeping up through the dirt.  It’s still unseasonably cold here, and it actually snowed over the weekend, but I think that will be the last snow of the year.  Thaddeus and Mags are so gleeful when [...]

What is the point at witch a poopy switches over from coming to you, happily, in Magdalena’s case, walking backwards saying “ewwwwewwww” so that I can check her butt and know it needs to be changed, to waiting, stinking, smooshing, and then going through massive headshaking, lying and distracting to deny the fact that such [...]

I made my 4yo son a pair of pants out of that yummy JAs thermal knit. Well, the only thing that worked was the knit waist band, I’d picked the wrong size obviously. The rise brings the waistband to bra height, and the inseam has the pants dragging on the floor, not to mention the [...]

I don’t know if I’m just motivated by the super cool new thing, new direction I’m taking my biz in, but I’ve been purging and it’s been a weight lifted, I can tell you.  I’ve sold almost every fitted diaper, pocket, and AIO/2 except for a few “keepers”, that will be tucked into baby boxes, [...]

You know I love my kids because these came and I shared.  There was one for each of the solids consuming children, classic chocolate for my Thaddeus, Strawberry for Mags and Chocolate Rasberry for Steph (the best of both worlds, pink AND chocolate).

 
These are incredible, wonderful cupcakes in a jar from FatDaddyLovesYou Bake Shop on [...]

Over the weekend I was able to move some clothing into the drawers in my bedroom that had been occupied by diapers til now.  As I was moving Mags’ clothing I found some favorite “hand me down” clothes, items I had been waiting for her to grow into.  They’re a little long, but finally - [...]

Thaddeus has finally decided that our smiles are a great reward for telling us he loves us.  It really is such a wonderful thing to hear, my heart skips a little beat every time.  Magdalena will chime in as a person leaves with “Iyou!” and that’s all the more sweet.  Yesterday, as the building inspector [...]

Giggling when  the guy gets eaten in “Jaws”,  sad when the shark dies.
And no.  I didn’t pick this movie for morning movie time, he got a Shark Ship from Awesome Aunt Jen and Toddo wanted to show him a shark cage.  Yes, that means we own “Jaws”.
