Blogging Balancing Act

The weird thing about blogging is that it is both a blessing and a curse. It’s a blessing because I’ve met some of my dearest friends via my blog but is also a curse. It’s a curse because I’m always balancing on a thin tight rope of “is this going to offend someone I care about” [...]

Our La-Z-Boy Playroom Re-do is Complete!

We have been living with our new La-Z-Boy sleeper for a few weeks now and I honestly don’t know how we lived without it for so long. The new sofa has completed our playroom/Mom room and made the space an essential living space of our family. The sofa is so comfortable that the kids nap [...]

Thankful Thursday

  It’s crazy to me how much I need Thankful Thursday in my life by the time this part of the week rolls around. This post is late because I just got back from a crazy morning, more to come on that later but it looks like Sidney is heading down the Failure to Thrive [...]

Live Blogging a Solo Fight

I’d love to be able to tell you that flying with a 1 and 3 year old is a breeze, but then I would be lying and I am an honest person. Since my husband flew back home on Sunday, it’s just me and the feral cats kids on this 8 hour journey (2 southwest [...]

What’s in a Name?

My Rhody Blogger friend, Carla, over at AllofMeNow.com had a fun writing prompt this week about names and I decided to join in on the fun: Prompt #1: How did you get your name? Did you always love it? Have you ever wanted to change it? I’m lucky enough to have my Mom sitting next [...]

I’m getting a late start to this Thankful Thursday. I spent the morning out and about in our 19 degree weather and then had a lunch date with a friend and her beautiful little boy. So if you were waiting to link up, I am sorry this was delayed! Here goes nothing: Having enough warm [...]

New Year’s Quiz: 3rd Edition

I have done this quiz for the past two years, including 2010 and 2011 . I can’t believe this blog has been around for almost 3 years now. What a ride it has been! HAPPY NEW YEAR! 1. What did you do in 2012 that you’d never done before? Lost a dear friend. 2. Did you keep [...]

Thankful Thursday

lasalette

My heart is still heavy from last week and I hurt for those families. There will always be a part of America’s heart missing, but I realize now more than ever how precious life is so we must be thankful. This week, I am thankful for many things: Being able to hug my children tight [...]

Thankful Thursday

Ever have those weeks where you just feel kind of whiney and tired? That. That’s been my week, but I need to snap out of it. I can’t seem to catch up on sleep and keep my eyes open without 3 cups of coffee and my poor Keurig has gotten such a workout that my [...]

iPieces iPad Games {review & giveaway}

iPieces

While walking the expo floor at BlogHer, I was completely captivated with the iPieces display at the Pressman Toy booth. I fell in love with the cute games played on iPads, especially air hockey and pool. I could have spent hours at the booth, using the chopstick-like pool cues or the quarter-sized hockey strikers. Fortunately, [...]
