Blog, You Are Four

My blog turned 4 years old the other day.  I just need to take a minute to take that in and realize that 4 years of my life is written out right here.  Funny to think back to what life was like in March 2007.  I desperately needed a place to write about our adoption [...]

When the Blog Meets Real Life

A couple weeks ago I had the awesome privilege of hanging out with Katie again while her family was visiting from their hometown in Nashville.  Katie and I met through our blogs around the time Mini was born.  She and her husband adopted their kids, as well, and we have marveled over how we are [...]

A Blogger Walked into the Fair. Again.

As I get ready to download (upload? I still don’t know the difference.  Don’t tell Mike) pictures from our annual day at the county fair, I’m asking myself a question of the deep variety. Have I had this blog too long?  Do I have anything new to write about?  Am I boring even myself with [...]

Just Keep Clicking Refresh

I am not OCD about most things.  The floor needs to be swept AGAIN? It can wait.  Smudges on the glass door? They’ll still be there tomorrow. But today, for some reason, I am very OCD about my blog stats.  I can’t believe it but I’m about to roll over my odometer – nearly 100,000 [...]

I know you won’t be here long. But I had to clarify one thing.

Ho, ho, ho!  BooMama is hosting her Christmas Tour of Homes again this year!   Wait! Before you go… I just had to show off  the boot.  Isn’t it lovely? Max no longer thinks it’s a Storm Trooper boot, by the way.  He wants to make sure I retract that statement.  You know, in case other [...]

Parents Overnight

Did I ever tell you that the first night I became a mom, I put Max in his car seat for the night (ha!) on the floor next to my side of the bed in the hotel room?  I had never taken care of a newborn before that night and although I was nervous, I [...]
