I sort of forgot that New Year’s Eve was coming up until last night.  With everyone being sick and us still living out of suitcases I forgot that 2009 is right here!  I was looking around Kelly’s blog and she was talking about what all happened in 2008.  She posed the question:
 What’s the best thing to [...]

We had a very small get together of middle/high school friends over Christmas break.  We are all in different places location-wise and life-wise.  One of us lives in Scotland now in vet school, one in North Carolina in seminary, one in Alabama, and me in Arkansas.  I’m the first one with a baby! 

After Katherine and [...]

I need to come home because:
1.  My mother-in-law made Cinnabon cinnamon rolls WITH REAL CREAM CHEESE icing and I’ve had too many, but I can’t stay away!
2.  I can’t watch another episode of NCIS or House. Yes, Mom, I know y’all love it, but they are two of the worst written TV shows on right now.  [...]

Christmas was very fun this year, as we got to watch John Michael open WAY too many gifts. We also got way too many nice things and some things that we really needed. I’m still not sure how we’re going to get all this stuff back to Arkansas.  We’re going to need a car top carrier!  Everyone [...]

We have been so busy since we’ve made it back home.  We’ve been wrapping gifts, cooking, and celebrating my birthday!  Yay!  My birthday was Sunday but we didn’t do too much to celebrate except open gifts.  I got some wonderful cream/brown pearls, a houndstooth scarf and a few great books from Jordan.  I also got The [...]

No, I’m not sharing my food with you; we’ll get in trouble

I said no!

Hmmmm…

Here you go!

Am I a bad mom for not stopping this??!!  Oh, I eventually did, but it was kinda too cute to pass up the photo op!

Merry Christmas!

As you can tell by the above picture, we are dealing with some pretty bad [...]

I’ve been asked for a few recipes, so I thought I would go ahead and post them on here.  I cannot take any credit for these!  Two of them are my mother in law’s ideas and one is from Kraft Food and Family Magazine!  I feel very fortunate (or cursed for our waistlines) that both [...]

We have been so busy this weekend!  It IS the Holiday season, though!  I baked on Wednesday for a family with a precious new baby girl.  I made chicken pot pie and I hope it turned out well.  Thursday I baked cookies for Bunco and Friday I made Alabama trash candy and homemade cheesecake covered [...]

I decided to put up a teeny Christmas tree in John Michael’s room.  I hung ornaments that were shades of blue, baby’s first Christmas, Alabama-themed, and special items from the past few months.  It ends up we have tons of “first” Christmas ornaments and I made an ornament out of his picture with his first [...]

John Michael turned 7 months old yesterday!!  He was a total sweetie and was so happy!  He napped wonderfully and ate some yummy sweet potatoes for lunch!  I still can’t believe that he’s getting older so quickly.  I’ve said it about 10 times on here, but time is passing too quickly.  John Michael is sitting [...]
