I was getting tired of the maroon, so I switched up the look on the ol‘ blog. Please be patient, as I don’t have time in one sitting to update all my links and whatnot. * A new thing this last week was that Sydney got to sit in the big bath with Carson. They […]
OK, so it is no secret that I am not an animal-lover. For the record, I would like to remind everyone, I am NOT AN ANIMAL HATER! I despise seeing animals hurt or abused in any way. I enjoy an occasional trip to the zoo. It’s just that I do not have any desire to […]
Typical morning. Carson gets too silly around Sydney when she’s trying to “eat” and stops to look at him, causing me to get annoyed. Carson: Mom, why isn’t Sydney eating?Me: Because she thinks you’re so exciting.Carson: Well? I AM so exciting!* In the car after church on Sunday…Daddy: Carson, tell us about your story in […]
We have a small house. It is great, and I love it. The way to get to the garage, where we park, is to go through a small laundry room. Well, my dear husband irons his own shirts, which is also great. But he usually leaves the ironing board up when he goes to work, […]

While Trent loves his mom, he has a serious, […]
I have many pictures to post from our fun little budget vacay to Northern Cal, but first, I’d like to dedicate a post to the driving portion of our time away. There is something timeless about the idea of a road trip. My mom tells of traveling along 2-lane highways in a station wagon with […]
Before Christmas, I posted about my entrepreneurial endeavor of making Christmas photo cards for some extra Christmas money. It was fun! Thanks to all those who let me experiment with their cards.* Another side business that I started last fall was selling Uppercase Living products, which are vinyl designs/expressions you rub onto your wall.

I was scolded today for slacking on the blogging. Sheesh! But I do want to post pics of Cmas Eve to fully cover this year’s holiday, because, as I’ve mentioned, a huge part of blogging is for me to record stories and pictures for my own memory and keeping.* But first, really quick, I need […]
BE ALARMED! He would like everyone within earshot to know that the WORLD IS OFFICIALLY ENDING. That’s right. We have serious (and loud) weeping and gnashing of teeth here. We have screaming, shouting, flailing of all four limbs, shaking of the head and what is really quite an impressive sharp, jerking movement of the torso. […]
