My kids started driving me crazy the day after school got out. There was the constant squabbling, playfighting, and watching each other play the wii for hours on end ( I loathe that, but it’s just so peaceful while they do it, that it’s hard to crack down and turn it off). Some people go […]
I have nothing at all to say today. So that means it’s time for pictures, everybody! I was going through iphoto and realized that we did a lot of fun things this summer that I never blogged about. Here is a sampler: A chain-link fence is strong enough to keep in a tiger, right? Right??? […]

What is it this whole “theme for 2010” that is going around the blogosphere? Last year a few people were doing it: coming up with a theme word for their lives in 2009. Stuff like “excellence” or “positivity”. This year it seems like everybody is jumping on the bandwagon. I don’t know . . . […]
Is it just me or has the whole world gone crazy for eyelash extensions and coloring? I’m hearing about this stuff all over the place and it’s not cheap. I don’t get it; eyelashes are just a thin line of hair. Yes, they might emphasize the eye but I can think of a dozen things […]
Anybody care for a fried egg and toast? I mean marshmallow fluff with lemon pudding and misshapen angel food cake? (sadly I have a hard time cutting bread nicely, so my kids are used to funky-looking bread. They didn’t even bat an eye.) Now I’m trying to find an old pregnancy test to give to […]
In my constant search for the perfect baptism* dress for Arabella I came across this beauty. It’s silk, hand smocked by Isabelle Garreton (who makes the most drool-worthy dresses. Look at that smocking!), size 12 (new with tags) and it’s for sale on ebay for $9.99. Yes, you read that right. I almost passed out […]
When my husband and I decided to move to Austin a few years ago we did what most everybody does; we flew down ahead of time and looked for a house. Let’s just get one thing out of the way first: I’m super, duper, incredibly picky about houses. One reason is because we were moving […]

There are different levels of things that I’m afraid of. On the most superficial level there are escalators. They really freak me out. Especially if there are several levels of escalators all criss-crossing each other. If you’ve been to Pioneer Place in Portland, Oregon you know what I’m talking about. By the time I reach the […]
First of all, the preparedness item this week is Spaghetti Sauce. It’s a pasta topping! It’s a pizza Sauce! It’s multi-talented! If you are aiming on spaghetti/pizza/etc. once a week, that’s going to be 12 jars. Think you can handle that? If that’s too much for your pantry (or your budget) to handle, then get […]

We have lived in Austin for not quite three years. We all adore it (well, I don’t know if the kids do but who cares what they think) and never want to leave. One of our favorite things about Texas is just . . . that it’s Texas. You can’t believe how much people […]
