Well, it’s day 2 of Spring Break and so far all I have accomplished is cleaning out a bookshelf in the living room, cleaning out the bathroom drawers and cabinets (which I am very proud of, by the way), and whooping my 7 year old son at Hungry Hungry View Post
I’m about to show you my tennis shoes. But first, let me tell you about these shoes. I've had them for three years. Yes, I said three. I wear flats to work in and these shoes are pretty much only worn around the house and to do the grocery View Post
Today officially marks Day 1 of Spring Break for me. I haven't had a Spring Break since 2006, so I'm really excited about 9 whole days of doing nothing. Well, I'll definitely be doing things, but Spring Break just isn't quite the same since growing View Post

Remember the 80's? Passing notes....watching the VCR....making "mix-tapes"? I never would have dreamed we would have the internet, cell phones (with internet!), and other gadgets and gizmos smaller than a Rubik's Cube square that could hold music. View Post
Tomorrow is E.B.'s 7th birthday. I wish I had the time to bake him some homemade cupcakes to take to school for snack tomorrow, but I just don't. So, I did the next best thing...I high-tailed it to Kroger to pick out some cool cupcakes with mile-high View Post
