  • I am ISO the perfect handbag.  Here's what it would look like if I owned a production plant and could design and make it myself: Nude or bone color – the perfect neutral. Big, tote style without being too square.  Think large hobo style bag. One wide shoulder strap.  I detest bags (like my current…

  • 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 82 at this point after…

  • 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 boasts a huge human jungle…

  • What I’m Loving.

    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 to my computer to place…

  • This weekend has flown by!  On Friday the boys and I headed over to a friend's who was hosting an all-boys water fun backyard bash.  None of the kids wanted to leave by the time the afternoon had come to a close.  They played tons of fun water games like water balloon toss, and they had…

  • I am sitting (sans kids) at the public library to pass the time before my next meeting and I am so irritated at how loud the library is!  Has it been this way for a while or have I just had too many loud kids with me befeore to notice?  Even the library staff are…

  • Here she is in all her glory.  Clementine is a happy and energetic little fish who is no doubt enjoying the her bubbly and colorful surroundings.  The kids are already warming up to her as they love to watch her swim about and point out that she waves to them with her rapid little fin…

  •  Despite the kids being away at vacation bible school this evening with D’s mom, I decided I’d make dinner for my wonderful hub and I because I’ve been wanting to try out this great new recipe for an Easy Mexican Casserole.  I know – being a Latina, I should be ashamed of myself for even looking for…

  • We played a lot of Wii Fit this wiikend.  Check out the lovely photo that my wonderfully photojournalistic husband managed to snap of me while trying to play a game on the Wii Fit balance board.  I swear, I’ll probably break my neck one of these days, but at least the kids get a kick…

  • Today the kids and I made use of some of the goodies I picked up a while back at the Target dollar spot.  They were these little capsules that you put into warm water and let sit for a few minutes until finally they turn into fun foamie dinosaurs.  The boys had fun doing one…
