Old School Blogging: Holiday Edition #iPPP

Hey, everybody, welcome to #iPPP! My post today is all about the holidays and I’m joining Elaine and Kir for Old School Blogging as well. I hope you’ll join us this week, because we’re going to be taking a short holiday break after this week, and we’ll see you back […]

My Holiday Wish List #Giveaway

How’s your Christmas shopping coming? Do you have YOUR wish list? I do. I have one on Amazon, and it includes running shoes (you can never have enough, right?), a whole array of the Just Dance games for Wii, a tablet that is for me and not the kids, and […]

Project 365 (Week 50)

Dec. 8

We’re in a bad stage with Erv….if he naps, he wants to stay up longer than I even do (like in this picture, taken at 10 pm). If he doesn’t, the whining and crying start at 4pm and last until he goes to bed. I don’t like it. He […]

There’s (another) Short Person In My House. #iPPP

Last week, I mentioned that Ivy wanted an elf sent to our house. You know, from the North Pole. In years past, I’ve been so very against having an elf. I mean, we already have to plan at least two solid weeks of traveling, buy and wrap all the presents, […]

Ivy had her second basketball game, and Henry, Essie, and I (along with my parents) were her cheering squad.

Nov. 25

It got cold for a while. Thank goodness for […]

The Annual Family Pictures (and a #Giveaway)

I was given a canvas from Signazon to review, but I did not receive compensation and all opinions are 100% my own. I promise you don’t want to miss the giveaway at the bottom, or some family pictures that I think are pretty darn cute.

This year, I didn’t have the […]

Christmas Conversations. #iPPP

The other day, Erv and I were in the car, driving to pick up Essie from preschool. He found a puffy Santa sticker in the backseat.

Me: Is that Santa?

Him: No! It’s Fanta Clause.

Me: Is Santa Clause going to come to our house on Christmas and bring some presents?

Him: Yeah.

Me: What […]

Project 365 (Week 47)

If last week was nice and warm, this week was brutally cold. It made it hard to want to leave the house, you know?

Nov. 17

Ivy had her first basketball game. Then when the big three went to bed, and the one who still naps got into his sister’s lip gloss.

Nov. […]

All Christmas Up In Here.

Thanksgiving afternoon, we put the Christmas decorations up. It’s been a tradition for at least the past three years. While I don’t love the stress, and the travel, and the money spent that goes along with the season, I love the decorating and the joy all of it brings to […]
