  • Today I was featured on our local NBC news station during their live broadcast of the midday show.  It was tons of fun and very cool to be on live TV.  I’d definitely be up for doing that again.  The only thing that caught me a little off guard was being outside for the interview…

  • Something totally random and weird happened today.  As I was sifting through my mail I noticed there were three envelopes with the Target logo all over them and thinking they might be credit card offers or some other kind of junk mail, I almost threw them away. Well, good thing I didn’t.  In each envelope…

  • I have been living it up these days with it being so hot and steamy for a change.  I keep trying to push back the thoughts of how in just a few short months it will damn freezing cold, icy, slushy, and depressing outside.  The thoughts of how I'll have to let the car warm…

  • Anyone who knows me well enough, knows I don’t enjoy cooking all that much, and that I am not particularly good at it either.  The other night while D and I were watching our DVRd episode of one of our favorite shows, I was totally determined to find a good recipe for Bulgogi (Pul-Kogi), a.k.a.…

  • Today we lived the epitome of a summer day here at the T household.  The kids and I busted out our kiddie swimming pools and wacky sprinkler thingy and I am not too proud to say that even I enjoyed a few runs through the sprinkler with the kids!  This was just the sort of…

  • In this week’s edition of Five Things, I’d like to share some rather interesting (yet random) things I’ve found while cleaning out the house over the past two weeks. A lamp I’d bought about a year ago at Kohl’s for about $3 on clearance.  I have NO idea why I actually bought the lamp or where I…

  • Renewal.

    For the past two weeks I feel like I have been in a constant state of renewal.  I have made major overhauls and redecorating decisions throughout several rooms in my house, have been afforded the opportunity to actually focus and pay attention during church, attend daily mass more often, and have been able to journal…

  • My achin’ bod!

    ,

    I hurt.  That’s all I can say.  I am so wiped out from painting all day today.  D has been wonderful to work with and a huge help, but I am still pooped.  We’re moving the boys’ room into a larger bedroom and repainting.  I’ll have to post pics when all is said and done. …

  • Okay, as if the cookie bouquet weren’t enough, today the gal I’ve been working with at the media/marketing firm sent me this little goodie as a thank you!  As if my kids don’t have enough computer games and movie soundtracks to keep them occupied.  They will love this little surprise, though!

  • Today I finally received my cookie bouquet that I’ve been expecting!  Let me explain.  I’ve recently contracted with a nationwide media/marketing company that helps national companies market their products and services to moms.  They contacted me a few months ago about working with me as a partner to help reach Kansas City moms – who…
