    N & W have been wearing their cowboy boots EVERYWHERE lately.  And when I say everywhere, I mean everywhere!  N has worn his out virtually every time we go out for dinner or just to make a Target run.  He's also resorted to using boots [bow-tas as W says it]…

  • I got my butt kicked today…and other fun stuff.

    This morning straight after breakfast, the kids and I packed up and headed to the gym.  I had hoped to make it to the 9:30 a.m. hour-long cycling class, but by the time I got the kids checked in to the children's area, it was 9:34 and I hadn't even…

    All evening I have been going through my entire email box trying to whittle down the number of starred messages that require my attention.  I started out with 98 starred messages - messages I marked as needing attention or a response.  Some are business, some are personal.  I am down to…

  • Look, Mom! No Floaties!

    Today marked the first day of me taking the kids with me to the extraordinarily awesome pool at our new gym.  We arrived at about 12:30 p.m. after lunch and I dropped the kids off at the very posh childcare facility.  This place is a very well thought-out area that…

    This has been such a busy month already!  Here are a few things I am totally digging at the moment. CB2 has become my new favorite online store.  I seriously think it's all due to my Domino subscription.  I saw these featured in a recent issue and had to run…
