Yeah, the Oatmeal cracks me up. Here’s a funny comic about making things for the web. Again, beware the language. (image: The Oatmeal’s logo)

If you’ve been hanging around this blog for a while, you know that I ADORE Ann Voskamp. Adore her. If I could go live with anyone for a couple weeks to just soak them up, it would be her. So when her book came out (I’m sure you’ve heard of it by now? I mean, it’s still in the Top 20 Bestsellers on Amazon!), I was thrilled. I could write a whole, sappy post to you about how Ann’s writing […]

I haven’t been around in a while. I’ll blame it on the newborn, but it’s actually because I really haven’t been doing much deep thinking I guess. Not much to process here in cyberspace. But I guess sleep deprivation can do that to you. So maybe it really is her fault. Anyway, figured I would post some of my older daughter’s comments and sayings, just to keep the ole’ blog alive and kickin’. Hopefully I will be back soon. D-Mama, […]

Haven’t posted some of my daughter’s quotes in a while. Here are a few to brighten your Friday! D: Daddy, I need money for my purse. Dad: I just gave you some. Where’d it go? D: I don’t know. Me: Welcome to the rest of your life… Daughter ate a particularly tart piece of Clementine. When I asked if she wanted more, she declined on account of being “super tarted.” Me: D, No jumping from atop the chair back to […]

My little three-year-old is turning FOUR today (Tuesday, that is) – I can hardly believe it. I’d love to write a whole, long sentimental post about her but that would probably not be of any interest to anyone but me. Instead, I’ll share a handful of funny scenes or statements from the last couple weeks. I mean, that probably most reflects her happy, funny personality anyway . . . ************************************************************************************** Daughter: Mom, I’ve changed my mind. Me: About what, honey? […]

If you follow me on Twitter or are my friend from Facebook, then you’ve seen these updates. But if not, here are some of my favorite recent quotes from my daughter. Me: Did you have a fun time today? Daughter: No, not really. My friend pulled my hair, sat on top of me, pushed me down, squeezed my arm, hit me in the head, didn’t want to share, was angry, and had lots of drama, Mom. Me: And what about […]

He sat alone and forgotten on the shelf next to the bathroom entrance. Or maybe he was waiting for us. Regardless, we found him as we noted the sign to “watch our step.” At first, we felt oddly aware that Jesus was watching our every move as we settled in to our cabin. Then we began to giggle at the sight of him being, well . . . bouncy. Not a bobble-head really, but a bobble-body. And with open hands […]

Nine tips (because ten is so overrated!) to help your day of mulching run more smoothly. Admittedly, these are not all learned by experience (mulching gives you time to write blog posts in your head), but I will certainly not confess to the ones which were . . . 1. Make sure you have a real, grown-up person wheelbarrow. Not only will your kid’s wagon kill your back, but sharing with a 3 year old isn’t always easy. 2. Mulching […]
