Baby Smash

April 27, 2012Maddie0
Chuck found a game that Maddie can’t get enough of! It’s called Baby Smash. Basically, the kids play with a keyboard and the program says letter names and shapes and colors depending on what button the press. Seriously, it’s like toddler crack! Maddie just can’t get enough. We downloaded it on an old laptop for...

Friends!

Yesterday Maddie and I went to the Mall of America with our friends Trisha and Chelsea! The girls were having a great time handing toys back and forth between the strollers and laughing at each other while they ate their McDonald’s lunch! They are going to be great friends! Trisha took this picture of the...

Porch Furniture

April 23, 2012Glendalough1
We finally found some porch furniture that we liked. A couple weekends ago, Chuck took multiple trip to the store to pick the pieces up and then put them all together. I couldn’t be happier with how it looks! We got a loveseat, two chairs, a chaise lounge, end table and eating table. I got...

Lumia

Chuck got me an early Mother’s Day gift. I have been eying the new Nokia Lumia 900 phone. It’s the new Windows Phone. I thought it was adorable (plus, I’ll admit, I’m a sucker for new shiny things ). When I learned that this Windows Phone had visual voicemail, I wanted needed it! That is...

Daughter

April 19, 2012Maddie0
In one of the videos yesterday, Maddie was dancing to “Daughter” by Loudon Wainwright III. I guess it was in the soundtrack for the movie Knocked Up. Huh. Guess I don’t pay very close attention. Chuck had me listen to the lyrics. What a sweet song. If you have a little girl, you will appreciate...

Dancing Maddie

April 18, 2012Maddie0
First, I am sure there are a few of you out there who are saddened by my laziness and lack of posts about Maddie. Well, cheer up! Here are some videos! So the other night, Maddie insisted on wearing a fleece jacket around the house. I thought I would just take her pants off so...

10 Years

April 17, 2012Randomness0
The other day, Chuck figured (after looking through emails) that we had known each other for 10 years. He got me the funniest card I have ever seen and a second card that was so very sweet! He also brought these beautiful flowers for me. Then for a while now, he has told me he...

A Communicating Toddler

April 4, 2012Maddie0
Maddie has started to communicate with us a lot more. She knows a few animal noises, says a few words and even signs a couple words. I got a few videos of her doing some things on command! The only things I forgot were asking her to give me a hug and a kiss. Which...

Fun With Noodles

March 29, 2012Food, Maddie0
During lunch yesterday, Maddie was having some of my rigatoni noodles. I would cut them into smaller rings for her to eat and she kept putting them on her finger to eat. It was really cute. Maddie also learned her own version of signing “more” yesterday, too. So she would finish the noodles then “more,...

Another Zoo Trip

March 28, 2012Maddie0

My Year With Eleanor

About to turn twenty-nine, she’d spent her career writing about celebrities’ lives and had forgotten how to live her own. Unemployed and full...

November! Getting closer to the current month! 📚😂
Dannie asked to try gymnastics earlier in the scho Dannie asked to try gymnastics earlier in the school year. We found a local gym and got her signed up.

She gets so much better each week and practices all the time at home. The couple videos are from her first week at practice. She is fearless and I love how she keeps trying until she gets it! 🤸‍♀️

But don’t worry, she’s not giving up hockey. Hockey is still #1 for her! 🏒❤️
I completed another sign for a friend of mine. Thi I completed another sign for a friend of mine. This was her husband’s writing that I pieced together from something his oldest daughter gave me. I also made some bracelets for my friend and each of the kids.  I wish this sweet family wasn’t going through this loss, but I hope his writing brings them some joy. 💔❤️

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! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🤪
