The Green Wife

Busted!

I really thought I might make it through the adventure of motherhood without having a child color their face with a marker.  I thought I was going to get off scott-free and never have a photo like this to enjoy 20 years from now: However, as you can see, today was that special day in my [...]

12 days…

So there are 12 days left until Christmas day.  Plans are still up in the air.  Most of our gifts are still sitting on shelves in stores.  Goodies have yet to be baked. But, none of that is really getting to me like it normally would.  Mainly because life is so utterly good right now that [...]

Woof.

Yesterday we went out to the country.  Grandma lives out in the country, as well as some aunts and uncles, so we always have a lot of fun on our trips out there. Alex insisted we pay a visit to Baxter, my aunt & uncle’s chocolate lab.  Baxter is absolutely wonderful with the kids and Alex [...]

Excuses, excuses!

So….it’s been forever since I’ve written anything and I sincerely apologize!  For awhile I had excuses and/or reasons that I couldn’t get time to post, but after going so long without writing I began to let this black cloud of blogging guilt intimidate me and I began to avoid my own site like the plague. I’m [...]

That was one fun Halloween!

Our Halloween was super fun!  Elliott and I wore our matching costumes around town to show our friends.  She didn’t really cooperate for pictures, but you get the idea! (for better shots of her, click here) Then we headed up to school for Alex’s class party!  He insisted that Elliott join him on the carpet.  In [...]

Trick or treat!

I decorated Elliott’s trick-or-treat bag the other day and just wanted to share!  I got the bag itself on sale at a fabric store for under $1 and then embellished it for about the same price.  I love the way it turned out and I think it should look great with her costume! She loves it [...]

Mossy Missy

I got these ‘Mossy’ Babylegs with Alex in mind, thinking he could wear them for these odd fall days when sleeves are just way too hot by recess and PE time.  However, Elliott staked claim to them and, I must say, looks rather stylin’ in them. I may be a bit partial because of my obsession [...]

There is something you should know about me…

And it is that I have a very deep love for, appreciation for, and addiction to handmade items. I get a lovely warm and fuzzy feeling when I think about the creativity, planning, expense, time and love that go into each creation. The mind of a crafty person fascinates me and thrills me [...]

Campaign signs? No, thanks.

Okay. Here’s the deal. I don’t enjoy complaining. I don’t like to be critical, negative or lean toward being a complete raving lunatic. However….this election business has pushed me outside of my comfort zone. There is something I must get off my chest. Campaign signs. Sure, the candidates will have [...]

Tuesday pictures

Alex decided to use some of his Tooth Fairy money to buy himself a necklace.  He looked and looked and decided on this peace sign one: He looks so handsome and grown up!  He was a bit disappointed that the kids in his class said that, “Peace doesn’t matter.”  I was kind of at a loss [...]
