• 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…

  • I am pooped!

    Today has been absolutely exhausting!  I got to run to Sam's by myself this morning to pick up a few essentials while D stayed around with the kids before heading into the office.  I love being able to buy two pounds of organic strawberries for just under $5!  What a…

  • Five things.

    Here are five random (but wonderfully satisfying) things I did today: Vacuumed and clean the floors (I have to tell ya', I absolutely LOVE that feeling!)  I even moved the couches and such around and was amazed – and appalled – at what I discovered.  Apparently, someone was trying to…

  • I love that smell.

    That's the smell of my kids, I mean.  No, not that been-playing-outside-for-only-half-an-hour-sweaty smell, but rather the smell of baby-like skin as it brushes up against the pillows in my bed.  I am constantly smelling my kids, even when I just seem to go in for the kiss on their cheeks…

  • This Daddy rules.

    D's had a great day – I'll take the liberties of speaking for him on this one.  He was teeing off at 7 a.m. this morning and then came home to have lunch with the kids and I.  The best part about his homecoming was that as soon as N…

  • This does not sit well with me.

    I can't decide how I really feel about the latest charge from Obama where he says – among other things - of black fathers, "They have abandoned their responsibilities, acting like boys instead of men. And the foundations of our families are weaker because of it".  Are these the kind of…

  • Buggy fun.

    I took the kids to the local library this afternoon for this weekend's edition of Get Buggy.  They had a fun time buzzing around the books, blocks and doing the craft-of-the-day, which happened to be a paper bag bug.  The boys started out by decorating a brown paper lunch sack with markers all…
