• Another surreal moment in news media.

    Today I was featured on our local NBC news station during their live broadcast of the midday show.  It was tons of fun and very cool to be on live TV.  I’d definitely be up for doing that again.  The only thing that caught me a little off guard was…

  • Random gift cards.

    Something totally random and weird happened today.  As I was sifting through my mail I noticed there were three envelopes with the Target logo all over them and thinking they might be credit card offers or some other kind of junk mail, I almost threw them away. Well, good thing…

  • Hot weather is good!

    I have been living it up these days with it being so hot and steamy for a change.  I keep trying to push back the thoughts of how in just a few short months it will damn freezing cold, icy, slushy, and depressing outside.  The thoughts of how I'll have…

  • Inspired to cook.

    Anyone who knows me well enough, knows I don’t enjoy cooking all that much, and that I am not particularly good at it either.  The other night while D and I were watching our DVRd episode of one of our favorite shows, I was totally determined to find a good…

  • Five things.

    This week's edition of Five Things includes a collection of various things I've enjoyed the kids saying over the past week.  They crack me up (and make me smile)! You're a good mommy.  You're the best mommy ever! N said this to me in the most loving way today while…

  • Summertime.

    Today we lived the epitome of a summer day here at the T household.  The kids and I busted out our kiddie swimming pools and wacky sprinkler thingy and I am not too proud to say that even I enjoyed a few runs through the sprinkler with the kids!  This…

  • 33 and counting.

    We celebrated D’s birthday today so you know what that meant.  CUPCAKES!  We set out to find cupcakes this morning since N had a very clear picture of what kind of cupcakes he wanted for his Dad.  He clearly described them as needing to be Incredible Hulk and other superhero…

  • Back to life.

    And back to reality!  The kids came back at 7:45 on Monday night and we haven't slowed down since.  They have been enjoying their new rooms – bedroom and playroom – and having fun with all their old toys.  Pictures of how their room turned out are forthcoming.  All I…

  • Five things + a funny.

    In this week’s edition of Five Things, I’d like to share some rather interesting (yet random) things I’ve found while cleaning out the house over the past two weeks. A lamp I’d bought about a year ago at Kohl’s for about $3 on clearance.  I have NO idea why I actually bought…

  • What kind of blogger would I be if held out on ya’ll?

    I’ve recently started blogging about contests and/or giveaways over on my business blog for local moms to get the dish on bloggity goodness.  But then I got to thinking, maybe my mommypalooza-ers would like the dish on that, too!  So, here goes: KCMetroMoms.com is giving away four tickets to Kansas City’s Ladies Time…
