Project 365: A Challenge

It’s one of my New Year’s Resolutions. Project 365 is a way to document one whole year of my life, improve my photography skills and give me a daily challenge (aside from the normal everyday challenges of avoiding a tragic fall in the shower, not getting run over by stupid people talking on their [...]

Santa Claus is on his way… and I know my A,B,C,D’s…. or I’m A-D-D

When Lainey gets tired, she gets hyper and a little silly. The other night she was singing “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” so I grabbed the camera and asked her to repeat it for me… this is what I got. Please excuse the bad lighting since I didn’t want to blind my [...]

Behold the Griswold Family Christmas Tree… err uh Card

This year we went with our out-takes instead of trying to get the ‘perfect’ shot. We wanted to stick with our tradition of using our vacation pictures on the card but this year Hurricane Ike blew through the Gulf so we had a very difficult time keeping the Santa hats on and hair out [...]

Ding Ding… Here comes the shit-mobile…

This is the BEST email joke EVER!   I received this years ago and it’s been a running joke between my husband, Jay and I since before we even dated… back when we were “just friends” and emailing each other 5 times a day.

We’re Elves

There are only five elves so we couldn’t add Duke and Maximus but Vedo can bust ‘a move (for a Great Dane).

As with any “book review” I do, there will NEVER be any spoilers… it’s more of my opinion on each book and my favorite samplings.
I read her books several months ago but just started thinking about Elizabeth Noble’s books again recently.  Noble has written 4 books and all of them are definitely worth reading.  My [...]

Amazing the things you find when you clean

I went through our office last week and sorted every piece of paper that I had been storing in one of those big Rubbermaid totes.  Many of the papers were keepsakes from the girls but some were old work papers that I threw in there for laughs.
Among the gems I found was this…
Oh boy, [...]

Still unsure of Santa

Lakyn humored us once again and sat on the Big Man’s lap for the sake of her little sister. And although Lainey was very excited to go see Santa, she was still apprehensive with the idea of sitting on his lap. She did talk to him AFTER he gave her a toy [...]

Watch out pilgrim, this one’s got a blackbelt!

This post is way late but oh well.  Last month when we went to Lainey’s preschool Thanksgiving gig, this was Lainey’s outfit.  I couldn’t help cracking up that she looks like she’s wearing a karate-type black belt.  The other funny thing was that each of the kids were asked to name herself after an [...]
