Did someone say Mexico? Why yes, yes I did. This year has been a big one for trips and celebrations. Not only did I have a milestone birthday, but lots of our friends are having them as well! Which really works out nicely for us, I must say. One of the bigger trips we are…
N’awlins, NOLA, The Big Easy, The Birthplace of Jazz. Good ol’ New Orleans, Louisiana. Or as Stevie would call it “No Ortans”. It was several months ago that I was perusing the web, just typing in random cities and checking flight prices (does anyone else do that??) I can’t remember why New Orleans popped into…
Well. It’s the morning of January 3rd — and I’m just barely on the brink of starting to come to terms with the fact that the holidays are over. Fergus pulled off the Christmas tree skirt while we were out to lunch yesterday, so he made the first hard step to put away the decorations and lights…
It was one of those Saturdays. I just had to get out and do something. Stevie was recovering well from his eye surgery and I was just ready for a break. I wanted to drive a little and listen to some good tunes. I wanted to explore and take pictures. I wanted cooler temps. And I…
Doesn’t the title say it all?! What a beautifully perfect weekend to be in the mountains. Take us back.
**Note: If you skip ahead to the pictures, you can just pretend we had an awesome day! I want to start this by saying that my husband strongly discouraged me from going to the fair this year. He was mostly worried about exposure to too many things right before his eye surgery. But I’ve taken…
Here’s the deal, guys. I’m not like into art. I don’t even know what this particular art installation is called. The worst. But here’s the thing: I like seeing new, unique things. I like participating in whatever thing is all the rage (to an extent). And, most importantly, at the top of my list, is…
It’s no secret that I have a bit of an eff you attitude towards Summer. I’m sorry Summer!! It’s not totally your fault. We certainly have our good days. I even get sad thinking you will be gone soon. And while I wonder if the heat might do me in once and for all this…
Today…? Today, I think I should find a way to decompress. My inner introvert is screaming for some alone time. This last week, I was aiming for mother-slash-aunt of the year, and (besides one unnecessary outburst after calmly asking Stevie to go get his underwear 45 times and he still hadn’t done it) I feel like I came pretty close…
We know some pretty awesome people. And one of these awesome people hooked us up with free Legoland tickets. She had received them through work and knew she’d never use them, so she passed them along to Stevie (and me), lucky ducks! Now, if you are new to the blog, you may not already know…
