Up until a few months ago, Devin had the smallest of our three bedrooms. Even though we were only officially occupying two of them. The third, as big as our master bedroom, housed my office. I never thought the office deserved such a big space, but eight years ago the […]

It’s a hat actually, but “me and my hat” didn’t sound as nice for a title. It’s winter. Cold, snowy. I love my hat for such occasions. I took my dog for a walk tonight. The flakes were drifting down and it was so quiet and peaceful. Those are the […]

‘Nuff said.

I get so geeked each year to take out all of my Christmas decorations and festive up my house. Once Thanksgiving dinner is over, I’m dying to drag out the boxes. It’s amazing to me how in just a few weeks’ time it’s all over. Time to put everything back […]

My kid was on fire with the helpfulness today. He always loves to help, but sometimes his interest only lasts a minute. Or 10. Today he gladly pitched in with the laundry, putting away Christmas decorations, getting dinner ready and setting the table. (He even set a fourth spot and […]

So we were goofing around on our bed today, hiding beneath the blankets and pretending Daddy was a bear. After Scott left the room, he was still in Bear Mode, so he asked me to be the bear. I’m a bear that tickles rather than mauls. He was grinning so […]

Devin loves adventures. But for him, going to the gas station is an adventure. Going to the bank. Or the mall. He’s easy to please in that way. So I knew when I picked him up from day care today he’d be happy to hear that we had to run […]

One of the other reasons I wanted to get this blog hassle out of the way was to start my new 365 project. You know. On Day 1: Jan. 1. Let’s not let one day derail that, tho. I made it through 365 days of photos a while back. It […]

At least that’s what it feels like this morning. All I wanted to do was set up a new blog.  But I started that process last night at 9:00, which was not a wise idea. I’ve transferred domain hosts, lost my email address, retrieved my email address, lost my husband’s […]

Did you have a happy holiday? Here it was pretty warm and merry and cheerful. The kid happily zipped through his presents. The dinner came together pretty easily. And we enjoyed some darn good family time. One more holiday left to celebrate. One more week left in the year. I […]

I’m trying to get back into taking photos. I’m mad at my camera so I’ve been giving it the cold shoulder. Instead, I really should give it some TLC and try to milk some more time out of it. I was “this close” to buying a new one several weeks […]
