Maddie turned 6 today. 6!? I can’t seem to wrap my brain around this! When I put her to bed last night, I cried a little knowing she wouldn’t be 5 in the morning.

She’s grown into such a wonderful, kind, caring girl. She has flourished in Kindergarten and has made so many new friends. Her teacher always has wonderful things to say about her. And she loves school, which is such a wonderful thing.

She decided she didn’t want to have a birthday party this year. But because she’s really turning 60, she did want to go to brunch. So we are going to do that this weekend. Her other request was for mom and dad (no brother and sister allowed) to take her to the Crayola Experience and ride rides at the MOA.  So that’s what we are doing.

We gave her a few presents today and we are also seeing Fancy Nancy with a couple grandmas, and aunt and a cousin.

It has been kind of nice not planning a big birthday party for her. I am hoping to continue this trend if I can. Or at least have smaller parties than I usually throw for them. (I have a tendency to go overboard.)

Maddie is smart, sassy, silly and has a style all her own. She is timid yet strong-willed and can be a spitfire when she needs to be.

So, our little baby is 6. It’s weird to think about all that has happened in 6 years and what a crazy time her birth was. Our baby is growing up and becoming less of a baby everyday. She is starting to think I’m a little nuts (she’s not wrong) and before we know it she’ll be off to college (sob)!

Happy birthday little tater tot. We love you!

This had been on my list for a long time and I kep This had been on my list for a long time and I kept pushing it back because I wasn’t in the mood. It was a relatively short listen (which I listened to on a recent car/day trip. I wasn’t sure if it was going to translate well, but it was really good. The premise is you can travel to another time, but you must return “before the coffee gets cold”. It had some wonderful “rules” that had to be followed and made you think about when in time you might travel back to.

This book has others in the series and it is definitely worth a read or listen if you’ve ever thought about time travel and what you might do differently.

Read this one if you’ve ever wanted just a few more minutes with someone.

If you’ve been around a while, you probably know If you’ve been around a while, you probably know I like STEM books. I’m also a sucker for robots. I got this one for my space-loving daughter because she loves Mars. This was based on rovers that went to mars. I loved that it was geared toward kids, but had facts and stuff mixed in. I loved that they gave the rover (Res) feelings and a personality. The main programmer of Res was a female as well. It was a wonderful book and so well done. I’m excited to recommend this to people or give it as a gift!
