Good morning y’all!  How’s the first Monday after Daylight Savings Time treating everybody?  I have to say, I am not a fan of the whole time change.  It just seems pointless.  Maybe back in the day when everybody was farmers it made more sense, but I kind of doubt it–they…

Smiles, coffee, lots and lots of coffee, blankets, snuggling, and warm milk.  Kiss two foreheads, say a prayer, make a plan that will inevitably change and evolve as the day takes on whatever shape the Creator has given it.  Baby curls, sleepy eyes. Some of us (AHEM K-man) take a…

Sophia wakes up and comes out to the living room, just beaming like an actual ray of sunshine. “Good morning, sunshine!” I say, kissing her forehead. “How did you sleep?” Still smiling, she tilts her head to one side and says, “Last night, dear, while I was sleeping,” Wow, I…

It is still up there, folks! And we saw it! One of my favorite ways to bust the wiggles with the babies is to take a walk. Today we just walked a couple blocks down the road and wandered around a grocery store. Bought a couple things we needed for…

Trying to get back to a somewhat regular posting schedule, and figure what better way to do that than with a blog link up?!  Today I’m linking up to  Homemaker Monday over at Diary of A Stay at Home Mom. The weather outside is: Cloudy but kind of warm.  Honestly,…

It was a cloudy, rainy day.  Nothing out of the ordinary for autumn in Seattle.  The clouds were stormy and gray, hovering low over head, a few sprinkles of rain sputtering on our heads.  I was lugging the carseat and diaper bag on one arm, holding her hand with the other as…
