Tale as Old as Time
Ever wonder why it’s so easy for your children to make you feel like an idiot? I know I do. Since Christmas we have seen numerous commercials advertising Beauty and the Beast in 3D. Limited engagement! Never before seen in 3D! Now Beauty and the Beast is Sydney’s favorite princess movie and Belle is her [Read More]
Winter Wonderland
We had our first snow today in our little corner of the world. There’s nothing like snow to make you feel like a bad mom or dad. That’s because my thought is always, “Please don’t snow enough to make it a snow day.” And I bet this morning bad moms and dad all over metro [Read More]

This past Sunday, the first of the month, is when Presbyterians traditionally take communion. After the bread and the wine/grape juice [Read More]
Twirly Girl
Sydney begged me to take baton twirling classes this year. Lucky for us (?) there is quite the baton twirling dynasty in our town. Last week she got fitted for her costume and almost passed out with joy! Here she is in it. She has tried it on for us, the neighbors, and every person [Read More]
