• My Right Now.

    My Right Now: I am loving my under-eye concealer.  Having a 4 month-old who has reverted to waking up every two hours is taking its toll on my beauty sleep & routine. I am more fully embracing the season of Lent more than ever before.  And loving the fresh, new…

  • STRIKE!

    So I blogged before about the cutest little book my kids got me for my birthday.  Today was the day for us to try out one of the cupcake designs.  And since my middle child, Will, is quite the bowling fantatic, we opted to try those first!  I am so…

  • Happy Valentine’s Day!

    Nathan & Will had a great time checking their Valentine countdown mailbox for the last time today (which incidentally is also Chinese New Year!)  I love the little traditions we've created together as a family.  What are some of your favorites?  ♥  

  • Will’s Valentine’s Day Party

    Today Will had his class Valentine's Day party.  He had a ball eating, drinking, crafting, and playing with his classmates and I know all too well how fast this time will go by.  I love going to his preschool parties and seeing him interact with his friends and teacher.♥  …

  • Birthday Recap.

    So I turned 35 yesterday and so far it's been great.  I am officially in my mid-thirties and I've also realized that I have been with my husband, David, for OVER HALF OF MY LIFE!  Very cool but very weird at the same time!  Man, where does the time go??!…

  • I’m a Droid Mom.

    My kids would love to hear me say that, if only it meant what they thought it did.  I love my smartphone by Google.  I love Droid.  Apple? Not so much. One of the funniest things about my phone is that my kids absolutely get a kick out of playing…

  • Everyday is Nutella Day Around Here.

     Happy World Nutella Day, peeps!  Yep, this is what I had for breakfast this morning.  It's been my usual for a few months now only today I was out of bananas so I had to go without.  Still it was completely yummy though and looks like I might've used the…

  • Sure, I Could Use An Extra Benjamin!

    Although I took a much lighter approach to the holidays this past year, what person in their right mind wouldn't or couldn't use an extra hundred bucks?? I blogged a couple of days ago about how the kids and I will be making a spring getaway back to Austin soon,…

  • Ambitious One.

    This evening on the way to violin Nathan told me, "Mom, when I grow up I'm going to be a newspaper boy and an astronaut." – very matter-of-factly. I had to make sure I'd heard him correctly.  He then explained that he indeed would wake up early, go throw his…
