Went and saw Alice in Wonderland last night!

And OH MY GOSH! I loved LOVED Alice in Wonderland! I need to stop going in to movies with expectations. I wasn’t expecting it to be as bad ass that it was. I loved the cast, the characters, the theme, the graphics, everything! If you have a chance, GO SEE IT! I have heard that [...]

Wordless Wednesday: Just because there’s snow on the ground…

… doesn’t mean you can leave your Frosty and Christmas decor out and turned on. Seriously people – put the stuff away!
This is not so much of a wordless Wednesday, as it is a Redneck Wednesday.
Maybe Santa missed their house? Nothing like seeing a plastic Santa with wire reindeer on the roof, with wooden fugly [...]

Lazy day & scary low blood sugar

Today was a lazy day, that’s for sure. I woke up this morning and felt like I was on a 3 day hangover. Truly not a fun feeling. My blood sugar is completely out of whack, so I took the day ‘off’ to recuperate. Thank goodness for text messaging. I texted hubby to bring me [...]

I write a lot about my cat, Milano. I love her!

It all started about 6 months after we relocated and I became a stay at home mother. I love staying home, but I felt that I needed something else. I was longing for something – but what? I talked it over with hubby and I [...]

Kelsie (Left) daughter of Jenna, Love of Baby Online and Kambry (Right). Both have the same potty chair. Both are doing fab at potty training! They are not asleep… both are in deep concentration.

Dear neighbors. Yeah, you – the one that let’s their dog crap in my yard..

I called the local police department. There is an ordinance for dogs off leashes. I know you read my blog. Are you aware of how disgusting and rude it is to let your dog take a shit in someones yard? I can see if you are out walking and are going to come back and [...]

A mom’s work is never done

I get up this morning and remembered it was Tucker’s Valentine Party at preschool today. No biggie, but then I remembered he had to finish writing on the cards, we still had to put the candy in the cute little containers and I had cupcakes to make. I don’t have to take cupcakes, but what [...]

Turning off ‘electronics’ on airplanes

I travel. A lot. I have a question and thought I would get some thoughts from you, my readers.
When you are flying, I completely understand turning off electronics (computers, cell phones, gaming devices) while on take off. This is so we can hear and understand the flight attendant(s) safety demonstrations of seat belts, safety exits, etc.
Back [...]
