Monday: A Moustache, a Birthday, an Angel Dear Lovey Sale.

Yesterday, Jay decided it was time to let go of the Mountain Man awesomeness of a beard that he’s been working on for a few months.  It was an event, as you can see below. The bathroom in the rental/pod is really narrow, so the kids basically had to wedge in single file in order to all get in there read more »

A Swing.

Last Saturday after the boys’ basketball game we loaded up the car and headed north on 85 to visit my 97 year-old grandfather, Pap, in Waxhaw, just outside of Charlotte.  It was a rainy day which doesn’t always bode well for a visit-three small boys cooped up in a super-hot house for several hours typically ends in some sort of read more »

Wacky Wednesday.

For his birthday this past August, the Eldest received the Vtech Kidizoom digital camera.  Since we’ve moved into the rental/pod, we haven’t been able to find it, and he’s been on a quest recently to go through boxes and locate it.   I came across these pictures this morning that he took a few months ago with the missing camera  while read more »

New for Spring: Big Brother and Big Sister T-shirts!

Good Monday morning everyone! It’s rainy and cold here this morning, so I thought I’d brighten your day with something new we’ll be offering in the Spring. Big brother and big sister t-shirts!  How cute is that? I remember when I was pregnant with the Little Prince (surprise!) and wanted to surprise! let everyone in my family know that we read more »

An Invitation: Follow Us!

I’m tempted to sing that John Denver song “Follow Me”…remember that song? No?  Probably not.  It’s not one of his blockbusters. And even if it were, you still might not have heard of it.  I went through a significant folk/rock stage-Peter, Paul, and Mary, America, Jim Croce, Kansas, CSNY-back when I was hankering to follow the Grateful Dead, so John read more »

Zutano, Three Marthas, Angel Dear, Oh My!

Heather and I returned from market in Atlanta yesterday, where we got to see some sweet new Angel Dear lovies, checked out the latest fun Three Marthas patterns and designs, drooled over all the adorable Zutano prints and patterns, and got to meet the owner of Mint, a wholesaler of the most fun bags and blankets, among other things. The Mint showroom read more »

Be My Valentine

I’ve retyped this one sentence ten times already.  Which is why Kelley blogs and I think about blogging and do not.  I’m still working on thinking about, not really writing about my girl’s birthday/slumber party. In November.  Sixteen 9-year-old girls.  No joke.   Clearly I survived, and will live to tell that another day.  But, I promised Kelley a post sometime with in the read more »

Full Circle.

When I was in fifth grade, I tripped on an uneven part of the sidewalk while playing hide and seek at a slumber party, falling hard on the concrete.    I hurt my arm, but it was rumored that the girl hosting the party had a ouija board, and nothing was going to keep me from possibly communicating with the read more »

Reflections: Three Marthas Hooded Towel

I originally intended to use this post to reflect on the past year, something pithy but light.  But I’m not sure I have it in me to get reflective right now given the photo I found recently of the Eldest, for fear that I’ll end up in a puddle on the floor once I start talking about how much he’s read more »
