Seriously. Granted, I have done almost no cooking for the past three months, but this cake was a disaster. I wanted to make my husband a cake for his birthday. He’s easy. His favorite cake is yellow cake with chocolate frosting. And, he likes it just as well from a box mix and a can [...]
Just When We Needed A Miracle!
April 14, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Maybe you don’t think that flowers are a miracle. But perhaps it’s because flowers are so common place or ordinary that sometimes we don’t notice how spectacular and how beautiful and how splendid and how really wonderful they actually are! Like God! Remember: “He made everything beautiful in it’s time and created the earth and [...]
All aboard for lots of fun!

Y’all…my toddler LOVES Thomas! He loves to watch the shows, play with the trains (ahem…”engines”) and watch for “rains” everywhere we go. So, when I received an email asking if I’d like to be a “Mommy Reporter” for Day Out with Thomas, I didn’t have to think twice about it. YES! The only problem is…I [...]
Just in case you’ve ever wondered…

I am the worst mom ever. Oh, you might not think so, but go ahead and stop thinking of every terrible headline you’ve ever read that might make me feel better because your opinion doesn’t matter. My daughter’s does. And, today, she’d probably tell you that I am the worst mom ever. Oh, she didn’t [...]
Long time, No update….

So, I’ve started and stopped several posts over the past few weeks…they’re all still stuck in the “drafts” folder. Why? Well, I haven’t wanted to turn this blog into “all pregnancy all the time” and bore you to tears with every twin pregnancy trial we face. I also haven’t been up to much lately, and [...]
Things that make me happy…

The sunshine we’ve had this afternoon. Y’all, it was gorgeous, and while I didn’t see a rainbow as a reminder, the warm orange afternoon light shining on wet grass and trees and shrubs spoke just as loudly to me of the one who sends the rain. Babies who practice breathing at only 27 weeks! Spending [...]

So, it’s Monday morning, and here’s the latest news: My son is spending his very first day in nursery school. I’m trying not to worry…or cry. My daughter was dressed and ready to leave for school (with lunch packed) by 7:15 a.m. They had both eaten a REAL breakfast (eggs, sausage and toast?) before they [...]

Make-It-Yourself Monday: Baby Gifts
March 5, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Y’all…I am so NOT a sewer. Look closely at almost anything I make, and you’ll see what I mean. But, I do like to try. Recently, I wanted to make a couple of gifts for a baby shower to which I was invited, and in my mind, I knew exactly what. I just had no [...]
Make-It-Yourself Monday: Sweet Pencil Pouch
February 13, 2012 By Leave a Comment
I was looking for something to make for my daughter’s teachers this Valentine’s Day and came across this tutorial for a Charmed Pencil Pouch. (Thank you, Pinterest!) The instructions were easy to follow, and the finished result pretty cute…even with my limited sewing skills. It was also a pretty inexpensive project, and we completed it [...]
