Brilliance

I’m in love with creative and imaginative decorating/storage ideas.  I mean I have two curtain rods in my kitchen displaying oodles of artwork. Now I just have to find a wall for this brillant idea that I found at the Goody Blog.  It uses rain gutters for book shelves.  I bet you could even use […]

It's the most wonderful time of the year…

Oops.  Did I say type that out loud?  Anyone remember that Staples commercial from a couple years ago?  The women singing that song while gleefully flinging school supplies into her basket? Moving on. We are officially back into the school swing of things.  PJ had a half day yesterday and his first full day today.  Mia […]

Hindsight

I received a packet in the mail last week that caused me to pause long enough to look at Ty’s adoption story in hindsight.  And in 20/20 vision, I saw God’s handwriting all over it.  Remember how I already mentioned other ways that he’s a miracle […]

Pudding

They say “proof’s in the pudding.”  Here’s proof that PJ is indeed riding a bicycle (sans training wheels).  I never got footage of him on the little 12″ bike that he actually learned on.  We upgraded to his old Spider Man bike and put training wheels on the 12″ bike for Mia.  Note: One needs 12″ training […]
