• My sister.

    Isn’t my sister so cute?? She posted this along with other pics on her blog and this was my fave. I just had to share with you all. “Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair.”

  • Temperature was not an issue.

    Today was my turn at hosting playgroup so I had planned for us to meet at David’s mom’s neighborhood pool since they have a way-super-cool waterslide. You might imagine my disappointment today when I realized it was only going to be seventy degrees – at best. What the heck happened…

  • booklist

    I’ve decided to try and keep a booklist, mostly for posterity so I won’t forget what I’ve read. Hopefully you’ll be encouraged to check a few of these good reads out for yourself or your kiddos!

  • about

    I created this blog to mostly serve as my memory for the future. Since I’ve become a mother, my mind has of course left me. I also wanted this page to help my friends and family stay on top of our busy lives. I want this blog to be about…

  • My violin is here!

    YAY! My mom sent me a violin that my cousin is letting me borrow. I am sure it’s not totally necessary that I have my own to practice on but I thought it would be a good excuse to borrow it! Nathan is starting his violin lessons this fall and…

  • Nervous AND excited at the same time.

    I’ve been soliciting names and numbers for babysitters for my boys now for quite some time. While I’d received quite a few referrals, I’d pretty much just starred them in Gmail account or made note of them somewhere but hadn’t really acted on any. Until today. I’ve just been procrastinating…
