I LOVE this photo where me and Autumn are both holding a doll up the same way. I am a lot older than her here, since it looks like I am missing a tooth. But, still, SO cute! And… we both love our My Little Ponies! I have yet to bring up my big storage… >> View Post

Nathan’s Playdough Trains
Nathan goes through a lot of phases… right now he is going through a ‘play dough train’ phase. Everyday he wants a playdough train… Does he make these playdough trains? NO. Mommy and Grandma have been making all of them. This is with a lot of direction from Nathan, he tells us EXACTLY what he… >> View Post
Warm Day
It was a really nice and warm day on Sunday, so after church, Sunday school and grocery shopping… I let the kids outside to burn off some steam and to enjoy the nice weather! I did a little yard work, played some t-ball with them, Nathan had his trackmaster trains all rolling along the edge… >> View Post
Nathan’s Valentine’s Party at School
Nathan’s Valentine’s party at school was on Valentine’s Day! How fun! Mrs. M actually took care of all of the party arrangements and all I had to do was show up! This was actually really nice, because usually she emails me a day or two before the party… and, then I am scrambling to coordinate… >> View Post
Happy Valentine’s Day!
I was SO excited to get a somewhat decent picture of Nathan and Autumn together for Valentine’s Day. See below, I bribed them. Such cuties 🙂 Ok, so the bribing part. I told them I got them Valentine gifts. 🙂 Hey, I don’t have a man to buy a gift for this year, so why… >> View Post
Valentine’s Day Party at Jeff and Tracy’s
Today Jeff and Tracy had us over for a Valentine’s party at their house. Of course, they had a red velvet Queen of Hearts cake from Whipt Cream. I love all of their creative cakes! The Queen herself was pretty magnificent! Love the back of the cake, too! We are having 50 degrees weather here… >> View Post
Nathan’s Paper/Foil Boats
Before school, Nathan asked me to make him a paper boat. I was rushing around trying to get them out the door, and I was thinking to myself, “OH great! I’ve never made a boat out of paper before!” So, I did my best and I made him an itty bitty sailboat out of some… >> View Post
Snow Fun during Autumn’s Nap!
One of the disadvantages of being a single Mom is that I have to shovel the driveway. Well, I did the best I could at getting the snow off, but there is still a sheet of ice left on there. Nathan had the funnest time sledding while I worked on the driveway. Here is our… >> View Post
Hairy Elephant Haircuts
The kids both needed their hair cut, and I decided to take them both somewhere special since this would be Autumn’s first haircut at a real place (my Mom did her first actual haircut). Nathan cried BIG tear drops his first two hair cuts, but Autumn just sat there and enjoyed the pampering! And, here… >> View Post
Faucet Nose Solution
We all have colds right now, and my nose has been a faucet… to the point that I decided to stick Kleenex up my nose. Sorry, but… its the best solution I could come up with when I worked from home for 1 1/2 days while the Ice Blizzard carried on outside. Of course, Nathan… >> View Post
My Little Pony Lover
Autumn loves my old My Little Ponies. She loves to line them all up, so she can feed them. She also loves to stick them on the fridge. Uh, am I the only person that did not know that My Little Ponies have magnets in their feet? I tell ya, you learn something new everyday!… >> View Post
Baby Alive Excitement
I haven’t been blogging all that much, mainly because January was one of the worst months I have had in a long, long time. And, I mean it. January was beyond stressful in many, many ways. But, I know I am doing what is right for me and the children, so I am hanging in… >> View Post
