Baby Swing

Thank goodness for the baby swing. We had a swing with LM, but he really didn’t sit in it very often.  On the other hand, L prefers the swing over almost every other place.   Sometimes I feel almost guilty about putting him in the swing rather than holding him.  But this afternoon, for example, [...]

Baltimore-Traveling with Kids

Despite, the wicked heat, we had a great time in Baltimore visiting the Maryland Science Center and Port Discovery! Three adults and six kids (2 six-year-olds, 1 four-year-old, 1 three-year old, 1 one-year-old, and 1 three-week-old) Things we did well: Had printed directions for various routes Got a late checkout of 2:30 Saved the food from [...]

Reality Check

OK, so the removal of sugar from the diet didn’t last very long, but I have cut back. On a totally different note…Wayne is doing some work on a house that a couple is flipping. I got off of work early today, so I stopped by. It was a total reality check. In actuality, I [...]

Finishing Projects

I finished up this cross stitch a couple of days ago. Yeah, you’re reading the date right….I am only four years behind on this one.

Being Truly Thankful

Every day I make a point to say “thank you” for all of the wonderful things and people in my life. This morning I was overwhelmed in reading this article in our local paper about 700+ families in the local area who had NOTHING for their kids this Christmas. One of my favorite things to [...]
