I’ve been wondering why the winner of the giveaway still hasn’t contacted me and then I noticed that the post where I announce the winner has been sitting in my drafts folder this whole time.  Good job, Jennie!  Anyway, the winner of the apron, brownies and skin care stuff is: Jennifer from The Seven Alstons.

So I’ve been rolling my eyes about Twitter for quite some time.  I just didn’t get.  I still kind of don’t get it, but after three people in one week asked me if I’m on twitter I figured I ought to get my head out of the sand and just do it. And it turns […]

I am an oldest child, but I somehow missed out on that “responsible oldest child” thing.  I was a good girl for the most part. But responsible? Notsomuch. I got the worst grades ever. I’m smart but I’ve always felt like homework was silly and cramped my style. I nearly flunked out of 5th grade […]

I’ve attempted to see Bright Star twice now, but I finally managed to see it last night.  Mister and I were a few minutes late for it last week, so we decided to go see something else instead.  I’m glad we didn’t stay and miss the beginning because the opening sequence is gorgeous. I called […]

Class parties. Work parties. Church parties. Friend parties. Teacher gifts. Neighbor gifts. Homemade gifts (what was I thinking?) Kids’ gifts. Hostess gifts. Recitals. Concerts. Ballets.

OK, here’s the story: I don’t have a lot of interesting things going on in my life right now; hence my blog is pretty dull.  My life consists of me cleaning up after my kids and watching them eat snacks all day.  That’s it.  That’s my life in a nutshell. So I haven’t been blogging […]

You guys, not only is it my birthday today (I’m turning . . . well, let’s just say that 40 is much closer than I’d like), but I can finally have loads and loads of sweets after my Lenten promise to abstain.  I’m aiming for some sort of sugar-induced coma.   I’m also aiming for […]
