The Green Wife

Fun mail!

Today Elliott and I got a fun package in the mail….4 pair of Babylegs!!! I think they about the cutest things I can put on her and I’m so excited that the weather is getting cooler so she can wear them all the time! For those of you who know and love Babylegs, [...]

A surprise visitor

This afternoon I was standing in my kitchen talking to my mother on the phone, when I noticed a teeny bit of movement outside the window.  I took a closer look to discover this little guy paying me a visit. He was the smallest little squirrel I have ever seen and I got such a [...]

My amazing family

I’m not sure when it started, but I know I was pretty young. I became obsessed with cameras and it’s all I wanted for my birthday starting around….maybe age 7?? I would secretly hope as I opened birthday gifts each year that someone had read my mind and new that I longed for [...]

Goslings, Hyenas, and Coyotes…Oh my!

It’s so impressive to me that those tiny little newborns were already following Mama and Papa Goose around, [...]

A day in the country

Today the kids and I went out to my Mom’s house in the country. She bought some cattle yesterday and the kids love seeing the baby calves, so we headed out to check out the newbies. The babies were precious. There was one little white one who, while he was nursing, stuck [...]

My sweet little boy is a man of 6 now. Where has the time gone? He requested a Transformers themed party, so I made him a cake with the Autobots logo on top. I’ve never had a cake give me such a hard time, but Shayne and I recovered what we could after fighting with [...]

91 degrees out

I was in the backyard hanging out diapers on the clothesline and thought to myself, “Hey, I should water our grapevine!” So I finished the diapers, grabbed the hose and started watering the vine. Then I saw the irises needed a drink, so they got the hose. Just look how pretty! At least…I think that’s [...]

My Sunday and all it involves

First of all, I’ve spent a good chunk of the day playing with Photoshop and creating the invitations for Alex’s upcoming birthday party. I’m making a mental list of supplies and decorations and such….which I should probably turn into an actual hard-copy list as I am so terribly forgetful these days. I love [...]

Hard mommy days call for….

A big ol’ dose of In the Motherhood. These girls have me laughing so hard with every new episode that I just almost wake up those kids I worked so hard to get to sleep. It feels so good to watch them and be able to know that life as a mom is [...]
