Excuses, Being Sick & Photos

October 2, 2012Maddie0
Well, it’s October 2nd and I realized I haven’t posted much of anything on here for most of September. I also didn’t take a whole lot of pictures this month. And I never did a 19 month post about Maddie either. What a great mom! The reason has been my lack of motivation. I have...

Videos

October 1, 2012Maddie0
Here are a couple videos of Maddie that I haven’t posted yet. The first one is Maddie swinging at the park. Chuck takes her there most nights after dinner and she LOVES to swing. The other one is from one day when I was gone and Chuck was watching Maddie. She has been into the...

Moon Over Manifest

September 30, 2012Books0
I recently finished reading Moon Over Manifest and really enjoyed it. This was our book club book for September. In early October, the author is coming to a local place to talk about the book. I think it will be fun to hear what an author has to say about their book. And I will...

Today is a big day! My little brother (well, older of my two little brothersnot the 14 year old) is getting MARRIED! I’m a bridesmaid. Chuck is a groomsman. Maddie is the flower girl. It’s going to be a day filled with fun, chaos, excitement, smiles and laughter (and some tears if you are our...

Gangnam Style

September 21, 2012Maddie0
Chuck showed me this video the other day. This morning I showed it to Maddie. I can’t count how many times I have heard it this morning. Every time it stops, Maddie signs and says “More.” In case you haven’t seen it. I sent it to my brother. Hopefully we can get the DJ to...

Pretzels

September 20, 2012Food1
I love pretzels. The saltier the better! While I was gone last night, my wonderful hubby made some amazing pretzels for me! (He is the best, by the way!) They were so good! He had some coming right out of the oven when I was walking in the door! He also made some cheese sauce...

Katelyn Noelle

September 12, 2012Randomness0
One of my best friends and her husband recently had their second little girl. We went to visit them after she was born. She has such a proud big sister! Maddie loved Kate. She loves dolls and babies, so I wasn’t surprised that she wanted to be in my pocket when I was holding the...

State Fair

September 6, 2012Food, Maddie0
I look forward to the end of August because it means the State Fair is here! I really only go for the food. We went last year, but Maddie didn’t really get a whole lot out of it. This year was totally different. Aside from getting some new teeth and being a crabby wabby, she...

29 Weeks!

September 5, 2012Dannie0
I’m 29 weeks now. Well, yesterday. According to the ticker on my site, BG#2 (Baby Girl #2) is the size of a squash. She is definitely much stronger than a squash, though! Oofda, this girl has some muscles! I’m only excited about 29 weeks because I have 10 weeks left until my scheduled c-section! The...

The Sweetness At The Bottom Of The Pie

August 28, 2012Books0
I just finished reading this book for book club. Here’s a quick description for you: It is the summer of 1950–and at the once-grand mansion of Buckshaw, young Flavia de Luce, an aspiring chemist with a passion for poison, is intrigued by a series of inexplicable events: A dead bird is found on the doorstep,...

Reviews

August 22, 2012Products & Places0
I have a category for reviews of things (Products), but I haven’t done a great job of reviewing anything. So I thought I would try and do more of those. Most of the things I will review will probably be kid related things. Since I have a bunch of toys, I may start with some...

27 Weeks

August 21, 2012Dannie0
Depending on how you count, I am either almost to my 3rd trimester or just starting it this week. Everyone seems to count differently. Either way, I have 12 weeks until Baby Girl #2’s birthday on November 13th! (Yes, I know her birthdayI have a c-section already scheduled.) Things are going well. I have spurts...

Tantrums

August 9, 2012Maddie0
Like any toddler, Maddie has tantrums. Sometimes you can distract her easily other times, well, not so much. I saw this and it made me giggle. I think any mom can relate to this one.

Beach Day

First Ride

August 7, 2012Maddie0
Sunday night we were a little stir crazy, so we decided to go to the Mall of America and walk around and have dinner. We walked around Nickelodeon Universe and Maddie was in love with the carousel. She kept looking at it saying “wow, wow!” So we decided to let her have her first ride....

Bucket Head

August 6, 2012Maddie0
I’ve said it at least a hundred times, but Maddie is silly. She cracks me up. The last few days she has had me laughing so hard at her because she wants to wear a bucket on her head like a hat. She won’t sit still long enough for a good picture, but you’ll get...

A New Doll

August 5, 2012Maddie0
We went to a friend’s garage sale the other day and Maddie found herself a new doll. She carried it around with her, fed it, pushed it around in a stroller, wanted to go to bed with it and even wanted to eat breakfast with it.   And a couple days later, she still loves...

A Couple Random Things

August 4, 2012Maddie1
I got to babysit our niece, Amira (Mira) recently and she was such a good girl! She loved the playmat that a friend gave us! I used to keep Maddie’s table near our back door. Then she started pushing the chairs to the door and turning the locks. (I have now moved the table elsewhere...

What a beautiful book. There are so many different What a beautiful book. There are so many different topics that could be discussed with this book. It would make a great book club read. I bet each person would have their own takeaway from this one.

I think it was so well written and the characters were so unique. The way they took different paths and then come back to each other was so well done. She has a magical writing style and I can’t wait to read more by her!

We watch The One and Only Ivan movie the other nig We watch The One and Only Ivan movie the other night. The movie was really cute as a stand-alone movie. But my kids were disappointed after reading the books. Some scenes were different, some parts weren’t included and they were kind of bummed it didn’t follow the book perfectly. The book is always better I told them. 😁

Any movies you have seen that didn’t quite live up to the book?

True story of why I’m a nutcase. While sitting o True story of why I’m a nutcase. While sitting on the boat recently, watching the kids play and listening to the house be built, I panicked. Crap! We should have put our house the other way. Left side on the right, right side on the left. That tree will be in our way! WHAT HAVE WE DONE?! 
.
So I immediately text Chuck who is working and tell him about how I am worried almost to tears about this. That we messed up.
.
It isn’t something we can do anything about even if we maybe should have done it the other way, which is probably nonsense. But we love this tree. And it’s going to add to our amazing view. And I want to plant another one on the other side one day anyway. And that big open spot will have a deck and porch behind the main floor garage. And what...I may have to turn my head slightly to see the lake better?🙄
.
Yep. I’m a nutcase. I don’t worry about the things right in front of me. Or even things I should worry about. Nope. Just things that can’t be changed...now that’s where my worry shines! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🤪
