TTAH Tuesday – Focus

My “Try This At Home” Tuesday tip today is straight from God’s word.
2 Chronicles 20:12
“…For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon you.”
A couple of years ago I paraphrased this verse for myself…
God, I have no power [...]

from the files of the totally ridiculous

Today I saw an advertisement in a magazine for a very peculiar item.
At least I thought so.
Personalized Playdate Cards.
Like business cards, only for the preschool set.  You know, for when you’re at a swanky playground and your budding socialite 3-year old wants to invite a friend over. 
It’s no longer necessary to strike up a conversation with [...]

Why are we moms always wishing the time away??

I was talking to some friends yesterday about kid’s milestones  – and how we look forward to the next step so much.  You know – crawling, walking, feeding themselves, talking, etcetera and etcetera.

i’ve been duped…

I mean doped.  Up, that is. 
Yep, that’s exactly what the doctor told me would happen for my procedure today.  I’d be doped up.  And I was. 
In fact, I still feel a bit groggy.  I’ve been instructed not to operate heavy machinery, drive, or make important decisions for 24 hours.  So I’m blogging.  (Hmmm, maybe not [...]

is it possible to be sentimental about clothes??

… and the answer is…
yes, yes, and yes again.
You probably guessed that already, because, why would I be posting about this otherwise?  right?
I only realized it this week, but I am highly sentimental about clothes.  Two days ago I got out a big rubbermaid container from the garage, filled with girl #1’s 2T clothing.  Girl #2 is [...]

TTAH Tuesday – Just Say NO to Alligator Skin

Love.  This.  Lotion.
GOLD BOND ULTIMATE RESTORING LOTION
I have extremely dry skin… skin that spontaneously cracks frequently in the wintertime, and makes me shy away from all sorts of cozy winter fabrics because my skin is so dry it snags!
I had a free sample of this stuff and started using it last week.  The difference in [...]
