If you lived in my house and could tolerate the occasional fits, there is a live sitcom happening daily. It stars a small girl named Ellie who has a remedy for everything. Ant hills? No problem… she’ll just go get her kazoo and take care of that. Kazoos are just for getting bugs away. Harmonicas [...]

Recently, we spent a week at my parents house in Pennsylvania. There are so many people & family that we try to see when we go “home”. On our last evening there, my Godmother & her daughter {who was also a bridesmaid in my wedding} came up to see us. Within moments, Ellie had climbed [...]

If you lived in my neighborhood, you might notice that I am often outside in the morning chasing small creatures down the sidewalk in my pajamas with mascara around my kneecaps. I am the neighborhood lunatic. Sunday morning was certainly no exception as Toby led the charge outside our yard, up the walking trail, and [...]

Today is Thursday and I’m convinced that the Easter Bunny really should have delivered more jelly beans. How is it possible that one small child could have consumed so much candy in a few days?

Now that he’s outgrown the length of my lap & is more interested in finding food and terrorizing Toby, all is right in Ellie’s world [...]

My former soft pants and t-shirt girl has blossomed into a Southern, smocked dress loving, full skirt appreciating, preschool darling. While many small children would not care for online shopping, my daughter had full control of [...]

What’s the most common phrase you hear from older, wiser parents? “Enjoy it, it goes by too fast.” I hear it all the time and I experience it everyday. I am amazed each morning when I am greeted by a tall girl and not a roly-poly baby. Old MacDonald had a farm has been [...]

“Wow,” I commented to Coach this morning, “Ace slept six hours last night.” We were both amazed as this is no small feat for our puppy. Like a baby, Ace is often awake every three hours in the middle of the night in need of attention. Our first night home, he cried… more like [...]
