moving, Charlotte…real moving.

furniture

My daughter is constantly moving furniture. To make forts. Fine, I am cool with that, but then it started to be where the furniture was getting torn up, there were holes in the wall, screws were coming loose and I had to put a “no moving furniture” ban on Charlotte. Which she appeared to follow [...]

Optimism

wishlist

The new Target ad came in and Chris asked Charlotte to circle some of what she would like for Christmas… This is what came back: Does she think I am going to sell a kidney or something? ~Trisha

Conversations with Charlotte

Today Charlotte got in trouble. Actually, almost every day this year she is getting into trouble. It’s her ears. She doesn’t listen. Anyhoo. So today when she messed around for 10 extra minutes after the bus dropped her off trying to sneak a piece of candy into her mouth before she got home, she got [...]

Halloween night was a bust.

Poor Charlotte. She has been looking forward to Halloween night for an entire year like most kids her age is. We did her hair, makeup, got her dressed, she was bouncing off the walls with excitement.   She was so good before we left. She let me take a ton of pictures of her without [...]

Dear Charlotte…

Charlotte’s bedroom door is slowly getting more interesting. First it was just a shot of Justin Bieber, but recently she has expanded her tastes to the cologne men. She also tried to swipe my Leonardo DiCaprio GQ yesterday, but mama had to put her foot down somewhere. ~Trisha

Salsa Soup Recipe, Yum, Yum

Every month I get the Martha Stewart Everyday Food cookbook and I usually glance in there at all the pretty pics, tear out a few “maybe” recipes and then toss the book on my counter. Honestly a lot of recipe books carry foods or spices I don’t regularly keep on hand so unless I plan [...]

My baby is off to 1st grade!

I guess not so baby anymore. Dora has been upgraded to Justin Bieber. I thought I would be sad, but I was really happy to see her go. She was very excited, which made me excited, and I wish her all the love and luck in the world today.

Going from 1 child to 2 is leaving me feeling ...

I have sucked up that I am having a newborn. I have sucked up that I am having to deal with a penis. I have sucked up that my sleeping and free time is over. But with the impending doom of this pregnancy ending in just 10 days, I find myself in a slump and [...]

Back to School!

Here in Alabama, its tax free weekend. That means, along with all the other crazies, I’ll be hitching on my sandals and heading out to the crowds to get some tax free crayons and glue. Ahh, school days. This year Charlotte’s 1st grade supply list consists of 4 boxes of crayons, three packs of pencils, [...]
