Sam is a whiz at my iPhone. She has some games that I’ve downloaded on there that she adores playing. She also likes clicking through all my other buttons. Including the camera. She has been a little photographer lately, taking pictures of things. I’ve skimmed through them before deletion and some of them are actually […]

My BabyCenter newsletter popped into my email box a few days ago and I saved it as the main article seemed pretty interesting, titled “Ten Ways to Build your Child’s Self-Esteem”. I just took the time now and if you have preschool aged children, go take a read through. It’s obvious (as most self-help things […]

This week, tell us about your first job. As I recently twittered, I worked at the Jelly Bowl Bakery in bucolic Buffalo Grove, Ill., and will write further about this learning and buttercreamy experience tomorrow, but for now, I want to hear about you. Tell me why you no longer have the use of your […]

Ooh, I was so proud of myself this morning from distancing my temper from Sam’s temper. Yea, did that make sense? Well, anyway, EVERY MORNING she throws a big fit about getting dressed and changing her diaper. It has been this way for soooo long. We are just stuck in this huge rut that is […]

Griff LOVES to dance. Whenever there is music on you can see him grooving where ever he is. It’s so cute! Sam never really danced when she was a baby but anytime there is music on, we are giving him cat calls and encouraging him! LOL Sam is sick right now so we were watching […]

Ahh, Julie Garwood, another one of my favorite authors who sits up in my special bookcase upstairs. Garwood has been a favorite of mine for YEARS and I really loved her with the historical novels she used to write. Lately she is writing contemporary murder mystery with the traditional romance slant. I think I prefer […]

I was thinking a tad to ambitiously, perhaps. I wanted to get some cute professional pictures of my babies, as well as the Marvin girls. The girls all had super cute matching Valentine’s Day outfits and G with a shirt that said “Ladies Man”. Can’t you just imagine it? I could. Unfortunately, the image I […]

This is the 3rd book in the “Mayhem in Mayfair” series and features Lady Julianne, the daughter of an Earl, and Gideon Mayne, a Bow Street Runner as the […]

I love sitting around and fantasizing… Which is why I buy lottery tickets, of course. Where did your mind just go? There is seriously nothing better than picking up a lottery ticket and immediately figuring out where you will be spending your prize. There is the money that will go to family and friends (yep, […]

Last weekend I was not feeling very motivated so I basically just sat around the house reading and sleeping! It was actually pretty nice. I read some good books, one of which was The Girl Most Likely To… by Susan Donovan. When I picked up the book after Christmas I knew I had read a […]

I know it’s been covered so many places but… HOORAY!!! Wasn’t that Inauguration fantastic?? I just loved watching the crowds in DC, over 2 million people in the Mall, I think? Knowing that so many people were watching at home or streaming it live over the Internet. If anyone wants the text of his speech […]

I ran into San Diego Momma on the interwebz last week and was laughing and identifying with so many of her posts. I immediately added her to my Google Reader. She’s pretty darn funny, go over and visit. She has a fun little exercise called PROMPTuesday where she has a question of some kind and […]

I know, you really can’t cure eczema and diaper rash. But we are doing a great job on Sam lately! She has suffered from light eczema on her knees, feet, elbows, and other places for pretty much all her life. They are not bad spots but they itch and now that she can speak she […]
