In about 37 hours I will be boarding a plane bound for the happiest place on earth. I am totally excited. Actually, excited doesn't even begin to cover it. As a stay-at-home mommy, my world is my kids. Making sure they are fed, clothed and happy is pretty much all I do every day. They… Continue reading Disneyland Prep

Lock your doors!
Buuzzzz! Buuzzzzz! Buuzzzzz! At 4 o'clock this morning, I was awakened from my dreams to the sound of my alarm. It took me a few minutes to recall why on earth I was waking up at such an ungodly hour. As I blinked bleary eyed at the green numbers switching to 4:01 I remembered -… Continue reading Lock your doors!
“Mommy I have to go potty!”
Ah, potty training. Is there a more wonderful thing in all the world? I think not. My daughter Madison will be three in October. As of last week, she was still going in a diaper and I, her mother was changing her (sorry - little potty book humor for you moms out there). We tried… Continue reading “Mommy I have to go potty!”
A steaming serving of guilt
Today I will be returning to visit Jim. Jim is not a friend. He is not a member of my family. In fact, he doesn't really exist. Jim is what I call my YMCA. Actually, it's more than that. Jim is who my YMCA is to me. I created the concept of "Jim" shortly after… Continue reading A steaming serving of guilt
For Shame!
I realized today (thanks James) that I haven't blogged in - well, far too long. Shame, shame on me. I'm so sorry! I'm currently decompressing from an incredibly busy day and preparing for a new (equally hectic) day on the horizon. I started watching a friend's children today, and will have an infant, two 2… Continue reading For Shame!
Just a little happy day
Spent some time outside enjoying a GORGEOUS Seattle day today. Ahhh. It was awesome. Burned my shoulders, grew lots of new freckles and discovered that Donovan is NOT a fan of the lawn mower. Took some photos of the little man, which he is a big fan of. The little girl has decided to become… Continue reading Just a little happy day
Please don’t burn the house down!
This morning as I sat at my computer desk running through my normal routine (e-mail, facebook, wordpress) a strange wisp of white floated past my vision. "Weird" I thought. I figured my eyes were playing tricks on me - that I hadn't been awake long enough and I was seeing things. But then it happened… Continue reading Please don’t burn the house down!
One t-r-i-l-l-i-o-n dollars…mwah, ha, ha.
I talked to my mom this morning regarding the "tea parties" going on today to protest the massive government spending plan. Americans are joining together in cities all across the country to take a stand against their growing tax burden and out of control government spending. Both sides of the aisle are guilty of reaching… Continue reading One t-r-i-l-l-i-o-n dollars…mwah, ha, ha.
Introducing the shock of your life
Thank you Kevin for posting a link to this on Facebook so I could be inspired. Those of you who haven't yet seen this video will (I'm sure) think I'm exaggerating when I say that I have never been more shocked at anything on YouTube. Susan Boyle lives at home with her cat - never… Continue reading Introducing the shock of your life
I can’t leave you alone for one hour!
Earlier this week I decided to make a quick trip to Costco, leaving the munchkins with my husband. When I returned an hour later, I returned to hear the following story from Zack. (imagine a hot 30-something relaying the following) "So, shortly after Donovan woke up, the doorbell rang - I answered it, holding the… Continue reading I can’t leave you alone for one hour!
