  • First Lost Tooth

    Before we left on "vacation" I promised to post about loose teeth. Well, instead it is about a first lost tooth. While swimming in the lake, Princess Cinderella gave her tooth one good jiggle and out it came. Luckily, she didn’t lose hold of it and was able to pass it off to Princess Grace

  • Mommy, guess what?

    This is something just so cute I have to write it down before she stops doing it and I forget. At least a couple of times a day, Little Red comes out of the potty to say:"Mommy, guess what? I went potty. I wiped myself. I flushed. I washed my hands and dried them." It

    There is so much I have wanted to post about this week, including the 4th birthday of a simply enchanting little red-head, but there have been virtually no real moments of quiet time all week!

  • We’re having a …..

    BOY! We are so excited! Girls are lovely, and we love our girls. But, after four girls in a row and the fact that  Big B will be turning ten when this little guy is born, I would say it is time for those little flannel shirts and hiking boots!

  • Why a blog?

    I have been thinking about starting a blog since last Fall. The only thing holding me back was my broken camera. Now, with a new camera in hand, the time is now! This blog is not about me, or my brilliant insights into issues big and small. This blog is for me, my own personal
