Where Have You Been, Young Lady?

by Sara on July 31, 2009

Can’t you just hear my father’s voice asking that question?  I admit, I’ve been a little MIA this week.  I wish I could say that we had jetted off to some exotic destination before football season or that I had finally invented something that made me an instant millionaire… but alas, it’s just Babycakes teething again.  I [...]

Love You Like a Sister

by Sara on July 27, 2009

Remember Little E?  Babycakes was baptized yesterday and in honor of the day, our family came from near and far to celebrate.  My parents, sister, brother, & my niece, Little E made the 9 hour trip sardined together in my Dad’s car.  Luckily, his car is pretty big.  When was the last time you saw [...]

Being a Coach’s Wife

by Sara on July 24, 2009

It’s been asked of me, “What’s it like being a coach’s wife?”  It’s not THAT bad.  In fact, it’s kind of fun.  How many women can say that their husband’s job entertains (& stresses) them 11 Saturdays a year? I feel like I’m the new breed of “Coach’s Wife” — I’m young, a new mother, [...]

License & Registration

by Sara on July 23, 2009

I am always trying to multi-task — who isn’t?  As a kid, I would brush my teeth & try to clean my ears at the same time.  I don’t recommend it unless you’re the kind of person who can rub their tummy and pat their head.  If you’re less talented like me, you’ll end up [...]

Preseason Project #1- Bedroom Makeover

by Sara on July 22, 2009

This, my friends, is the project room.  See how uninspiring this space is?  If you’re a big fan of beige, you might think it’s relaxing.  If you prefer color, polka dots, & texture then you’re with me — time for some change.  We were/are trying to sell the house, but it looks like we’re staying.  [...]

Football Season Countdown

by Sara on July 21, 2009

Let the countdown begin…  only 20 days until football season.  *cringe* If you’re a coach’s wife, you know what that means…  It means… you won’t see your husband for three months having to mow the lawn yourself  eating dinner alone OR serving it just before bedtime visiting the practice field so that your kids remember [...]

Things that Make you go, “Hmmm?”

by Sara on July 20, 2009

The other day I called Coach at work because I couldn’t find the laundry soap anywhere.  He had been washing clothes and towels the evening before — was it possible that he had used all the soap?  “Honey, do you know where the laundry soap is?” “I don’t.  I just used that stuff that’s on [...]

Distraction & Obsession

by Sara on July 17, 2009

I’ve been a little distracted lately and this is why… See how sweet she is? There’s just one little “problem” that we have right now.  She’s obsessed. She’s especially obsessed with me — particularly at 1 & 4 in the morning.  And in the car, at the library, shopping, playing on the floor — we [...]

Beach Baby

by Sara on July 14, 2009

Why didn’t someone warn me?  Give me a heads up?  Anything?  Vacationing with a baby is HARD WORK!  Last Saturday, with the Mommy-mobile packed & ready-to-go we set off for Hilton Head Island.  Along the way, we stopped briefly to begin our caravan with Coach’s brother and his family.  About midway, my BIL phoned to [...]

Happy Anniversary

by Sara on July 7, 2009

Want to know what heaven will be like?  Try 5 am on the Pacific Ocean in THIS house. Yes, it’s a house.  Not our house, but we did get to stay there thanks to a generous football alum who asked us what our honeymoon plans were.  Thank goodness we had nothing planned when he offered us his Mexican Villa.  Every [...]
