• I guess it IS hip to be square!

    Today while taking a leisurely stroll through Target for some basic grocery items (plus a few extras), I noticed they now have square bagels in the refrigerated case.  I fall for new stuff all the time, so naturally I picked up a package.  I guess I just wonder what in the…

  • Yet another smart move by me.

    A couple of weeks ago I received a promotional email about purchasing this year’s Entertainment Book for $4.99.  Now, normally I would’ve already purchased mine for the year but for some reason hadn’t yet.  So, naturally I went online and paid for it and a few days later it was…

  • Dating for married folk.

    D and I have truly been enjoying our time together since the kids have been in Texas for the past few days.  Not that we don't miss them or talk about them and their little nuances constantly, but we are getting to do a few things together that we haven't…

  • Five things.

    So, here are my Five Things for today.  With it being a full 24 hours since I last saw the kids, I've discovered five things that I've enjoyed doing thus far. Shopping for sunglasses is a breeze without the usual suspects trying on every pair and dropping them off of…

  • And, they’re off!

    Grammy and the kids took off this morning at about 8:30.  Of course, I got a little teary-eyed.  Who wouldn’t?  W just kept waving his little hand at me saying, “byeeee!” and N was as eager as ever to jump into his carseat and get all settled and ready for…

  • I love red meat.

    There's no two ways about it.  It's yummy.  It's good for you.  It's expensive.  It's worth it.  Now I'll be the first to tell you that I'm no cook.  Nah.  Nothing like my younger sis who can just whip up a batch of homemade pesto from scratch.  But, I'll be…

  • 7 years ago today (and, on an island!)

    (If you can't view the show, visit it here). So tonight to celebrate our 7 years of wonderful married bliss, we'll be enjoying a movie and dinner at my favorite restaurant!  Last night we also watched our wedding video with the kids and had a fun time laughing at how…

  • I think we’re the first to have these.

    Today while D & N went to exchange some of our mail-in Blockbuster movies, they managed to pick these up as well: It's the long awaited Wall-E & Eve.  N & W have known these characters by name for months!  The movie finally opens this weekend, but alas, they will be on their…

  • Grammy + bubbles = smiling kids.

    Today was an exciting (and long!) day for the T household.  Of course, when does it not feel hectic around here?  After heading home from a birthday party this afternoon, the kids and I took a two-hour nap!  I have no idea why I felt the need to sleep so…
