• David’s Birthday Recap

    You can’t have a birthday without cake (at least not in MY house!) so this tasty treat from DQ was just the thing for everyone. Nathan and Will enjoying their day with Daddy. After hanging out at home for most of the morning and afternoon, we headed over for Twilight…

  • Birthday wishes.

    Happy birthday to my dear husband today. Now he’s finally my age and I am no longer his elder (for at least seven more months). I should say that I am a bit jealous of this birthday gift from his brother. Don’t think I won’t find a way to get…

  • Grandpa came bearing gifts.

    Nathan and William officially have their first car. And, they of course have to share it. Nathan was quite the impressive driver jumping right in and giving Will a ride in the driveway and on the grass. He’s still got to get the hang of steering AND pressing the gas…

  • I’ve won something yet again.

    I received a call two days ago from a gal at Whole Foods that they’d drawn my name out of those who had entered and I’d won a fishing rod. Kind of offbeat, I know, considering I’ve never gone fishing in my life. But, I remember being there about a…

  • New favorite gaming site.

    SCORE! We’ve recently been watching a ton of EWTN programming for kids and as such, Nathan’s been asking about their games since they’re plugged between all the kids episodes. He’s LOVING these new computer games and so am I!

  • My first interview.

    So this afternoon I did my first interview about KC Metro Moms with the Editor of a local publication. I was excited and nervous, but hey, I’m never at a loss for words. After figuring out what exactly she was calling about, I immediately made a beeline for the basement…

  • It’s time.

    I think it’s time that I finally let my family and friends in on a little secret. As many of you know, I started my first website back when Nathan was just a little nursling. My goal in creating it was truly to provide a forum for moms to meet…

  • Crossing projects off my list feels freakin’ great!

    I’ve finally got the basement fit for human life. I am so thrilled with the results and although I still have some ideas for decorating the space, for now it’s awesome! The boys and I have been going down there several times a day to play and hang out for…

  • Sweet nothings.

    This morning while fixing my hair and makeup Nathan was watching me while playing with his little stuffed toy caterpillar that he won from Worlds of Fun the other night. He looks up at me (I can see him in the mirror) and says, “Mommy, you look so gorgeous, I…

  • Happy 4th!

    The kids and I headed out this morning at about 9.45 over to the Village Fest in Prairie Village. From the website, I knew it would be tons more fun than our neighborhood’s bike parade and when I asked Nathan which he preferred to go to, he of course said…
