Well, we didn't make it to Maine in time. My grandma passed away on August 3, the night before we were scheduled to leave at 4 a.m. We awoke the next morning with solemn hearts and took our time eating breakfast and loading the car. There was no more need to rush. We had missed … Continue reading Goodbye Grandma

Marathons, Road Trips, and Funerals
I picked the wrong year to start a blog, run a half marathon and read through the Bible. It has been a record year for craziness. A few days ago we arrived in Virginia to stay with my parents for about two months. I am getting good at this. Kind of. And believe it or … Continue reading Marathons, Road Trips, and Funerals
For the love of cleaning
I am somewhat haunted by the fact that I have written in my profile that I am "obsessive about cleaning my floors." If you were to see my floors right now, you would paint me red and call me a liar. There is something about living in a corporate apartment with furniture not my own … Continue reading For the love of cleaning
It’s a Conspiracy, Man.
Remember a few months ago when I was bemoaning the fact that I had to buy another pair of sunglasses because my $3 pair from Kohl's that I bought last year had broken? Yeah. Well, like a good little mom I trotted right over to TJ Maxx (torturous, I know) and found a cute pair … Continue reading It’s a Conspiracy, Man.
life lessons from little engines
My two year old son is obsessed with planes. And trains... and helicopters... and diggers... and trucks. Brimming with fascination for all things automotive, The Little Engine That Could is fast becoming a bedtime favorite of ours. Filled with colorful pictures of engines, dolls, and toys, it is more than enough to keep his hungry … Continue reading life lessons from little engines
Flip-flap-flops and other wardrobe casualties
Before I begin, I wanted to thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers for my family in Missouri. Not only were they spared from the tornadoes, but they left a day later for vacation in Florida! Thus, my empathy has turned to envy and I will no longer be writing about them … Continue reading Flip-flap-flops and other wardrobe casualties
Forget Auntie Em, It’s Sister Heather for me
Well, my sister's been blogging more about our move to Kentucky than I have! I guess in all the upheaval I find comic relief in writing about my cheap sunglasses instead. Anyway, you should check out what she's written! She blogs from her cute little ranch home in a small town in Missouri. She's a writer, college … Continue reading Forget Auntie Em, It’s Sister Heather for me
The truth about cheap sunglasses
It's that time of year again. Time to buy another pair of sunglasses. My latest pair of Vera Wang’s from Kohl's have lost a screw, and left me squinting into the wild blue yonder defenseless against the sun's blinding light reflecting off of asphalt and silver Toyota Camrys. Was it the poor construction that formulated … Continue reading The truth about cheap sunglasses
Lessons in moving with toddlers
It's been such a hectic couple of weeks round here, to stay the least, I almost forgot I had a blog. Okay, not quite but there have been so many things I have wanted to write about, like the well-loved oleaginous Whirly Pop I threw out after six years of use while packing a few … Continue reading Lessons in moving with toddlers
Don’t call it a comeback…
Well my husband is home I have internet again! How's that for an attention grabber? Yeah, well, okay, it's exciting for me! I probably didn't mention this before (because of all of those weirdoes out there on the internet who are most likely not reading my blog), but my husband was out of town the … Continue reading Don’t call it a comeback…
