• We’re not Irish, but no one noticed.

    August 30, 2008

    I took the kids to Irish Fest today and we had such a great time.  The kids got to get their faces painted, jump on bounce houses, be part of a cool concert, and eat some yummy food!  They split a fresh squeezed cherry lemonade and some hot kettle corn. …

  • Five Things: Labor Day Weekend

    August 29, 2008

    Although I never take a day off as a mom (as I am sure many of you can relate to), I am looking forward to a few good things this weekend. I am finally getting a much needed – and deserved – haircut and color.  I am excited to try…

  • We’re getting ready!

    August 28, 2008

    N is getting quite excited about starting Pre-K next week.  We began our countdown earlier this week with a cool countdown paper chain that N gets to take a link off of each day as we get closer.  And I'm sure we'll end up having one last hurrah this Labor Day…

  • It’s only a matter of time.

    August 26, 2008

    Recently I've been telling N to "act your shoe size, not your age!" when his behavior is less than acceptable.  I am not looking forward to the day I have to actually declare that as an opposite statement because that will mean he's getting bigger!  He's such a great helper to…

  • Friends & Fondue.

    August 25, 2008

    Tonight I enjoyed a fun night out with a few local moms for some tasty treats!  We celebrated Ladies Night at Melting Pot.  I hadn't been there since the time I took my sister there and it was just as good as I remember it. We got a steal of …

  • Declining industry.

    August 24, 2008

    I had an appearance this morning on KCTV 5 news, a station I actually had not been to before today, and I totally learned about something I never thought would actually happen. You know how when you watch the news and you see the anchors there, looking into the camera lens…

  • Stinky Saturday.

    August 23, 2008

    Today the kids and I went to Mr. Stinky Feet's 10 year anniversary celebration down at the Plaza library.  We were all super excited to be going to help Jim celebrate.  We were the first ones in line! The show was incredibly awesome and the kids and parents were having…

  • Five Things: Before I was a mom, I never thought I’d:

    August 22, 2008

    Be brave enough to stick my hand inside my kid's diaper only to confirm that, yes, he had in fact taken a poop.  Be jumping at the chance to finish the half-eaten peanut butter and jelly sandwich or cold toast that my kids left behind, because it was the only small chance…

  • Tuna with a twist.

    August 21, 2008

    After my great workout today, the kids and I came back home to grab lunch before heading out for errands.  I decided to try out the recipe I'd seen on the back of the Ranch dressing bottle the other day and I must say, it was quite tasty and has…
