Caroline and I went to Michael's yesterday to look for some ribbon. She begged me not to make her ride in the cart and since Michael's has these dinky, little carts, I agreed.I'm looking at all this ribbon, completely overwhelmed by all the choices, and she's pushing the cart. Finally, she says "Vamamos Mama, let's go. VAMAMOS". Then, later on during lunch, she ate her peanut butter and jelly and Read More

Can you hear me now?

Just for fun

About a year ago we switched our all of our phone, T.V., computer services to Time Warner Cable. I pay the bills and thought it would be so easy to have one little bundled package that we pay for each month. The only problem...everytime you use the phone, the wireless service on the computer disconnects itself. Our phone service has been so bad that we never use our home phone. We'll answer it and Read More

Turning fashion icons into fashion victims

T.V. Love

I was really going to try to do a Thursday Thirteen today, so what does it say about my creative thinking skills that I couldn't think of one subject to think up thirteen things about? Maybe since I have seven days until next Thursday, I can think of something between now and then. In the meantime, here are my thoughts on last night's Project Runway which is my new addiction (along with Read More

Step 1…Admit you have a problem

Doodle

Yesterday marked the day that I have been dreading for 3 years. I knew it was coming and I agonized, strategized, and theorized on the best steps to take to overcome an addiction problem right here in my home.Hello, my name is Caroline and I am addicted to my pacifier.Oh, it started innocently enough. When they brought my little bundle back into the hospital room after cleaning her up, she had a Read More

Random things that have made me laugh this week

Just for fun

There are a few things that have been said in my presence this week that are too funny not to share. I'd love to somehow weave them into a brilliant post, but my limited writing skills seem to have taken leave. So here they are in no particular order of "funniness".1. My mom came to visit this weekend. She never quite finishes her whole thought on a subject. We were discussing my Read More

A Book Meme

Memes

Okay this is my first meme and I was tagged by Shalee, so here it goes. The thing you need to remember is that I love books, I adore books and for me to narrow anything down to just a few choices is next to impossible.1. What book changed your life? I know everyone says the Bible and that's true for me as well, but as far as something that really changed how I thought about my Christian faith, I Read More

Mama said there’d be days like this

Doodle, Motherhood

Last night Caroline decided that she wanted to spend the night with her Mimi and Bops, which is always totally fine with me. P. and I didn't have any big plans so I just cooked dinner and we relaxed in the peace and quiet. I made homemade banana pudding and I have to say it was delicious. Best of all, I slept that long, hard sleep that you can only get when you know you're not going to hear a Read More

You’re no buddy of mine

Doodle, Motherhood

Grocery shopping has definitely become a different experience since I had Caroline. When it was just P. and me, we couldn't have finished a gallon of milk in a month much less a week. So once a week, Caroline and I head to our neighborhood H.E.B. for a big shopping trip.H.E.B. has been so kind as to provide all sorts of things to make shopping "easier" for moms. The Wiggles car/cart that you can Read More

We partied like it was…well, like it was 2006

Doodle

Oh my goodness did we have a party here yesterday! It was 10:30 last night before I felt like I might ever be cool again and one thing I decided is if P. and I decide to have another baby, we're shooting for a winter birthday.I really wanted to have Caroline's party at home this year. Like Franc says in Father Of The Bride, "I just love zee weddings at home, they're very cozy, very warm, very Read More
