The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet’s Nest

January 7, 2012Books0
I finished this book a while ago. Over the summer, actually. I had read the first two books in this series. I had borrowed those books from someone at work. When I was ready to read this one, Chuck had given me my iPad, so I rented it through the library. It was a really...

Videos, Videos & More Videos!

January 6, 2012Maddie0
Here are a few more videos that I had on my camera. The first one is very typical of Maddie.walking around with veggie straws. She loves them. They are really like baby crack. If she sees them, she won’t eat anything but them. So really I use them to get her to sit in her...

I set my camera on the counter the other day and when I came back, I saw that this was on the screen. I decided to take the picture. After I looked at it on a screen larger than my camera, I thought it was kind of pretty with the reflection of the tree in...

Porch

January 3, 2012Glendalough0
I realized I never did an update on the finished porch project. Or many updates at all of the porch. I looked through my old posts and the last entry I found on the porch was in JULY. How terrible is that? Well, we got the roof finished, the porch finished, the deck finished.it turned...

So we had our first Christmas celebrations just before Christmas. I just found a couple pictures from when we were at my step-dad’s family’s house. Here is Maddie sitting on Dave’s (my step-dad) dad’s lap enjoying a book he and his wife gave her. The craziness of all the kids opening their gifts. The little...

First, I have to say a VERY happy birthday to my wonderful husband! He is the best and I would be lost without him. Here’s to being “old like me,” Chuck! Love you! I have some “resolutions” for this year. I hate calling them resolutions, though. They are more like things I want to accomplish...

Dewalt Dust Buster

The week before Christmas, Chuck and I were out running some errands. I told him I really wanted a new dust buster. With Maddie eating at her high chair and having a tendency to make a mess, I knew I wanted a new one. I had a Dyson one that I haven’t used in a...

My fabulous husband has outdone himself yet again! He surprised me with a new laptop for Christmas! I was so surprised! I wasn’t expecting it at all. The title for this is because that is what I named my computer. I am a dork, I know.   I love my new toy and have been...

Thirty-One

December 26, 2011Products & Places0
I have been a little obsessed with Thirty-One bags lately. I had a party a few months ago and ended up getting a lot of the things I wanted. I use them all the time. I have one bag that I use for Maddie’s library books. She likes to take all the books out and...

First of all.MERRY CHRISTMAS! Friday night, we had our first Christmas celebration. We had my mom, step-dad, my brothers and my brother’s fiancé.

Straws

December 24, 2011Maddie0
Maddie learned a new skill last week. She learned how to drink out of a straw. It is so nice! Maddie never liked the bottle after I stopped nursing, so she has been drinking out of a cup that we have had to hold for her. Last week we tried giving her a cup with...

Newspaper

Another Fun Play Date

December 19, 2011Maddie0
A couple weeks ago, Maddie and I went to our friends’ house to hang out. Our daughters are just a couple weeks apart. And now that they are both walking, we thought it would be fun to watch them waddle around together. My friend, Trisha, already wrote about our play date. But I thought I...

I got summoned for jury duty for two weeks starting December 12th. Microsoft has a back up daycare service we were able to utilize. So I took Maddy to daycare last week Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. She had a great time! She didn’t really nap, but the teachers said she was so good and played...

Video Dump

December 17, 2011Maddie0
I have a number of videos I have taken of Maddy, but I haven’t posted them yet. So here we go! Maddie shakes her head “no” all the time. This is a short video of her doing it. It looks so funny when she does it because her eyes don’t move at the same time....

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! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🤪
