Birthday Photo Shoot

February 17, 2012Maddie0
My brother offered to take some pictures of Maddie for her first birthday. Of course I took him up on the offer. We (including his fiancé, Katie) went to the Guthrie Theater to walk around and see if we could find some good spots for pictures. I saw a number of people recommend going there...

Happy Birthday Maddie!

February 16, 2012Maddie0
It’s really here! Maddie’s 1st birthday! I say it every month, but where did the time go and what happened to my baby!? She’s growing so fast and becoming such a big girl. She is so sweet and getting more personality every day. Some new things she has been doing these days: she is so...

Ever Have One Of Those Days?

February 15, 2012Randomness0
Some days I wonder what is wrong with me. Seriously. I have done some pretty stupid things in my days. But this past weekend, I did a number of dumb things. First, I ruined both of our Sonicare toothbrushes. Yes. You read that right. Chuck some times boils some water and dips the top of...

Happy Love Day

February 14, 2012Maddie0
In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, I thought I would share with you a picture from when Maddie was just a week old all dressed in a heart outfit. She looks so little. I hardly recognize her! Awe.baby! I remember how timid we were with her at first. Wow. Only two more days and that...

What A Big Girl

February 13, 2012Food, Maddie0
Maddie has learned that spoons are fun. I have been giving her yogurt on her spoon and handing it to her to eat. She licks it all off then hands the spoon back for more. It’s really cute. So the other day, I thought it would be fun to give her the yogurt and spoon...

Tuna Pasta Salad

February 12, 2012Food0
At most family functions, someone in the family makes Tuna Pasta Salad. I love this stuff! But I never make it. Last weekend, Maddie and I went to a baby shower for my cousin’s wife and without fail, the salad was there! So my next trip to the store, I decided to pick up the...

Kid Songs

February 11, 2012Maddie0
This song cracks me up when I hear it. I just love it. It has such a good beat to it. And it’s funny! There’s a video of this song at the end of the lyrics. It’s the only one I could find, but you can hear the tune. Two Kinds Of Seagulls by Tom...

Another Haircut

February 10, 2012Randomness2
How exciting, I know. I last got my hair cut back in November. It wasn’t anything too wild and crazy except for the fact that I got some bangs. They were ok. I liked them for a couple days, then I put them in a clip.everyday. So I was ready for a new cut. And...

Chicken No Peek

February 9, 2012Food0
Well, since my last couple food posts were meals that didn’t really turn out (the Egg Bake and the Spinach Lasagna Roll-Ups)I thought I should post a meal that turned out better. And this meal is a new go-to for me. I just love it! It’s so simple and turns out great every time! HERE...

Maddie vs. Lemon

February 8, 2012Maddie0
One night during dinner we thought we would give Maddie a lemon and see what she would do. It was pretty funny! I think she likes lemons.just like her mommy!

The Strange Things My Baby Does

February 7, 2012Maddie0
These things Maddie does may not be strange at all for a baby. But I think it’s funny behavior. She collects things. And I mean ALL the time. It doesn’t matter what it is. She just needs a group of things. Veggie Straws on a speaker. Veggie Straws on her chair. (Which she is in...

Hide & Seek…Sort of

February 6, 2012Maddie0
As you know, Maddie has an obsession with blankets. I have posted a few videos of Maddie playing with blankets. But the pictures are funny, too. Now you see her. Now you don’t. Now you see a walking blanket. She was bouncing up and down with a blanket on her head.ummm??? Now as a hat....

Maddie Photo Overload

February 5, 2012Maddie0
I haven’t posted pictures of Maddie in a while. So here you go! Maddie likes to help me eat bananas! She moves way too fast for me to get any good pictures of her, though! Reading with Dad. Bag Lady! At our friends’ daughter’s birthday party. Trying to climb into my lap. This happens about...

Some fabulous hubby of mine brought home a Kindle Touch for me! I am so excited! I have been trying to read more (and I have been doing a pretty good job, actually) and this is going to be so fun! I have always thought these were awesome. I just didn’t think I would get...

Mockingjay

February 2, 2012Books0
I finished the trilogy(The Hunger Games and Catching Fire were the first two books). I couldn’t put them down. Part of the reason I needed to read this one quickly was because Chuck bought me a Kindle. I will tell you more about that tomorrow. This book was a little slower than the first two....

Randomness

February 1, 2012Randomness0
I was thinking I haven’t done a weird random post in a while. So as I was thinking of things to blog about, I thought I would do a brain dump of things. I have been in a furious declutter/cleaning mode lately. To the point where I am worried about my sanity and why I...

Egg Bake

January 31, 2012Food0
My friend Trisha was looking for an egg bake recipe to make in a muffin pan for her daughter. I thought this was a brilliant idea. I gave her an egg bake recipe I had from my aunt. Then decided to try to whip up a batch for Maddie. First, you preheat the oven and...

Catching Fire

January 30, 2012Books0
Well, I finished the second book in the Hunger Games trilogy. Right after I was done with the first book, I dove right in and read the second book. It’s going to be kind of hard to give you a run-down of this book without giving too much awaylike how the previous book ends. But...

Spinach Lasagna Roll-Ups

January 29, 2012Food0
I tried another new recipe. And I was so excited about it. Sadly, it was not a hit around here. After making Spicy Chicken Lasagna Roll Ups, I thought these would be really yummy. You mix the spinach and cheeses together. You cook the lasagna noodles and lay them out so you can fill them....

Colored Rice

January 28, 2012Crafts, Maddie0
I had seen people making colored rice on Pinterest and knew I had to give it a try. Maddie is still too little to play with it without trying to eat it, but I cleaned out the pantry and had lots of leftover rice, so I thought I should use it up. First you put...

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! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🤪
