This post was supposed to go out on Saturday, but like the slacker I am, it didn't happen. Let's just pretend it's Saturday as you read this post, ok? :)Today, we are on the road to Orlando with my parents and sis. Lookout Universal Studios! I thought it would be a good idea to do one more 'from the ...
Field Trip Fun
Second graders took a trip to the Soil and Water Conservation in our area today. They learned all about animals, habitats, and plants that are native to Alabama. We walked along a path and then climbed into a 'lookout' with a gorgeous view.We watched as a guide dug through the swampy water and ...
David Baldacci….favorite author?!?!
I am a book lover. I've not met many books that I don't like. I tend to love every book that I read, while I'm reading it. It's only after finishing a book that I can attempt to really judge it. That being said, I just finished reading The Hit by David Baldacci, and LOVED it. It is the first ...
Public Service Announcement: Stop the Judging, Already!
I read a very touching blog post the other day about the urge to have a 'perfect' home when friends come over.

Much Ado About Nothing
We've been doing a whole lot of nothing the past several days. On our second no-snow snow day, we went to eat and to walk around the mall. It was too cold to do much else, but the girls did ride on the ice cream truck: I stared a new book and I'm completely wrapped up in it--Nora Roberts Dark ...

100 Happy Things
While reading a few of my running blogs, I came across Ali on the Run's list of 100 happy things. I thought it was a GREAT idea, and one I should copy. This list is a daily work in progress and will be linked on my home page.The purpose of this list is to help me be consistently aware of ...

The pirate and the ghost
OK I know I've already posted a TON of pictures of the girls in their costumes here and here, but I just have to share a few more. These are mostly of K at school on the actual date of Halloween. This year, I think the girls had the cutest (and cheapest) costumes they've ...
