— Here’s What I Have to Say —

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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!  

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...

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....

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...

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....

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...

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...

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...

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....

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...

More videos of Maddie. Exactly what you wanted today, right!? Well, I just knew it. So here you go! Here are a couple videos of Maddie playing with her big blocks. These are made out of foam floor letters. She thought they were so funny to knock over. I didn’t get a video of her...

I came across a recipe recently for General Tso Chicken and it looked simple enough. No fancy ingredients and something I could make any night of the week without too much troublemy kind of meal! Beware.photos of raw meat ahead. scroll quickly if you don’t like looking at it. First I cut up some chicken...
