Oh the birthday cake. This was my struggle this birthday party and it was almost what got the best of me. I had everything I needed and thought I could be super mom and get 10 million things done by lunch time and thought I'd be on to making the cake already. Wrong! Se Gavin didn't just want any cake he wanted this SpongeBob SquarePants™ Cake Pan. Um, yeah. To say I was nervous was an … [Read more...]

Wordless Wednesday Airports
By 51 Comments
As you know I recently came back from Chicago for my last Wilton trip. Getting home was something in itself. I arrived to the airport around 2 pm to find out my 2.5 hour direct flight was cancelled when I tried to print my ticket. I couldn't understand why it wouldn't allow me to print it. It kept telling me that I couldn't print a boarding pass more then 12 hours prior to boarding. What??? I'm … [Read more...]

I turned on my TV and on the Weather Channel I was watching a bunch of towns and cities getting taken out by a set of tornado's. To my horror I started recognizing the photos and videos they were showing. That wasn't just some town. That was MY town. My area. Where I … [Read more...]

This is my Herb Garden. It has literally all the herbs- except curly parsley because I can't find it so I'm seeding it. I am also seeding bush lettuce to border the front. Of course Johnny's is … [Read more...]

Here in New England it's been raining for like 3 weeks straight. Today we thought we escaped it when around 10am the rain stopped. They went forward with tball and baseball tonight but when we approached the field the sky looked like this: Gavin was able to play 2 innings before the sky broke and it started pouring and every one went running to their cars. The boys had to play their 3 hour … [Read more...]
Wordless Wednesday Dirty THIRTY
By 46 Comments
On Sunday I turned 30. THIRTY. I was just turning 20 and then I blinked and turned 30. I think I struggled more with Johnny turning 10 then I did with me turning 30 but it all makes me feel so old. There was so much I wanted to do with my life by now that I didn't do. Granted, I did many things but I guess I just thought I'd be at a different place by now so I'm struggling with that. ONLY … [Read more...]
