Great Expectations: Mommy’s Lounge

Janice writes at Mommy’s Lounge, about homeschooling, poetry, and digiscrapping, along with her three gorgeous kids and husband. (How do you have time for it all??)

She does a poetry workshop, which I think is just AWESOME. She’s also very present on Instagram; she’s a “trigger happy mama”, just like I […]

Project 365: Week 23

This week has kicked my butt. The kids have been out of school for a couple of weeks, but Henry and I had to get up (not very early) so he could go to theater camp. But, last weekend, Ervin came down with some kind of mysterious (no known origin) […]

Up, Up, and Away

The fourth member of our family (hubs) came down with a stomach bug last night. The only two remaining are Henry and I.

Thank the Lord. You know why? Because Henry has been at Theater Camp every morning this week and my visions of him puking all over the stage were […]

Walking For Kittens.

It’s Wednesday (I think), so I’m including a picture with this post. An unrelated one, yes, but a picture nonetheless.

This is Skeeter. He showed up at my brother’s house a few days ago, and instead of letting my brother eat him for (an unsatisfying) breakfast, we took him in. For […]

Jessica writes at My Time As Mom and One Martini At a Time (along with Carri Brown). She designed my brand new site here (which I LOVE, oh my goodness) under her business, VMI Social. She’s super cool in person, and always willing to answer my inane tech questions when […]

Project 365: Week 22

So, this is late and I’m totally phoning it in this week. I’m tired…T and I went to the Buzz Beach Ball (warning: that link is a video so don’t open it at work or when baby’s sleeping on your lap) last night and got home late (for old people like us, […]

TGIF, Toilets, and Nekkidness

Are you happy it’s Friday? We are visiting the brand new Lego store today, in the middle of potty training.

Oh yes, we are.

But the potty training didn’t start out so well. And that is the understatement of the DECADE.

How did we turn it around? You’ll have to check out my […]

Memorial Day (Mini) Road Trippin’

I’ve said it before (many times)….my kids get car sick. On any given trip, at least one will throw up. My oldest has grown out of most of it, but he still occasionally blows chunks. The two year old? It’s a regular occurrence for her.

I’ve found that one hour seems […]

Great Expectations: Midwest Momments

I’m so happy to have Jenn of Midwest “Mom”ments here today. She’s a local KC gal whom I’ve had the pleasure of meeting in real life (for a couple of minutes in the pouring rain….we’ll have to meet up again sometime!). She’s sweet and kind and someone I always look […]
