Future Cell Phone Bills, Here I Come

So yesterday I’m sitting at the table checking e-mail after snack time and Sweetness is happily playing by herself. Mr. Man is zonked out in bed. Soon it becomes apparent I’m not sure what she’s saying, but she’s really intent on it. When I look over to see what she’s up to, I grab the […]

So little Mr. Man turned one year old this past week and we had ourselves two small parties – one on the big day (May 11) with my mom and her fiance. And another one with just a few friends and Hubby’s dad last Saturday. However, it looks like Tonka, Hasbro, and a host of […]

Fun Catch

Time is funny stuff. About a month ago I wrote about Deadliest Catch being a guilty pleasure. Then that very night I had the opportunity to meet who was at the time my favorite captain. A couple of weeks later I found myself at the Deadliest Catch convention, covering it for the press, and since […]

Capturing a Moment

My little Mr. Man is a year old now and to celebrate the occasion, we went in for family photo fun. Typically, Sweetness approaches this with as much enthusiasm as she would a root canal (if in fact she knew what that was). One time she had the full blown tantrum just as we went […]

A Whole Year

Dear Sweet Mr. Man, A year ago today I held you in my arms for the first time and was instantly in love. Your sweet little face, deep blue eyes and soft little sighs captured my heart. Even though a nurse was there to care for you in the night so I could sleep and […]

Battered and Bruised

As I watched in slow motion, I’m sure my heart skipped a few beats. I was tired and my ankles hurt from a long week on my feet. I’d already tripped a couple of times that day, though I didn’t think much of it. However, this time I was carrying Mr. Man. And I was […]

Use the Potty Daddy?

We’ve been working on potty training. And when I say working, I really mean Mommy has been begging, trying, talking about, reading a million annoying books about, and basically hating the whole potty training thing. So far Sweetness has mastered grabbing her full diaper and announcing she wants to sit on the potty. After months […]

Catching up with Deadliest Catch

I’ve been getting lots of notes, texts and tweets from pals asking me in various different ways how the weekend’s events went. Well, here is the edited version. Edited, because if I shared everything, you’d be here a while. And who am I to keep you from your job/kids/ball game/judge-ruled community service time/galley cleaning duties? […]
