One of the most fabulous things EVER about my family (namely, my mama) coming to visit for the holidays (or any reason, for that matter) is that David and I can get the Grammmy World's Best Babysitter to watch the kids if we want to catch a movie (that's not…

Men…and why can’t they ever get it right??!
Let me preface this post by saying I love my husband very much. I am true to the vows I spoke over 8 years ago. But as I write this, I'm pretty darn irritated. This day has been full of activity…only the third real day of school for Nathan, a…

My husband’s better than your husband.

Golf outing.
N is out on a golf outing with D today and I'm excited to hear how it went. This is the first time since W's been born that N's gotten a chance to go sans his little brother. He and W went a few months ago with D and halfway…

33 and counting.
We celebrated D’s birthday today so you know what that meant. CUPCAKES! We set out to find cupcakes this morning since N had a very clear picture of what kind of cupcakes he wanted for his Dad. He clearly described them as needing to be Incredible Hulk and other superhero…

Meat lovers, listen up!
If you have not made it to a Ted's Montana Grill restaurant before, find one fast! D and I had the pleasure of dining out there this evening for an early dinner before I headed to a meeting, and we were pleasantly surprised. They have an extensive menu of great…
