Holston Avenue was my most favorite street in the world, as I would say growing up as a 13 year old. Guess what – it still is to this very day. I can still remember making my dad take this road whenever possible to get to where ever we were going. It’s right in the…

a few things I learned in May
Hello lovelies! How’s the short work week going for all of you? I know, us moms don’t really get a short work week, but I always try to have that mindset when a holiday rolls around! I’m once again without my computer. I tell ya, the month of May cramped my style when it came…
i think they like the sand
What a difference a year makes. It’s funny now, this year there’s sand e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e. in eyelashes, armpits, bathing suits…and oh, those diapers are just so full of sand and…well, you know. As for big brother~ Being at the beach & in the water is the only time during the year he shows that he’s part of…
did I mention I hate shopping for swimsuits?
pic from Full House We are headed to the beach very soon. OMGoodness Gracious!!! I cannot wait. It’s just the process of getting there, that becomes a little overwhelming. I’m hoping a few things will be different from last year’s beach trip. Case in point: This is how the twins reacted when they had to…

We’ve been doing some real living these past few days. Marking things off, PAYING things off & setting some new priorities in life. We’ve also been”hit” by a few unpleasant…
a Tooth Fairy door
We were invaded the other night. Not even Buzz Lightyear & the Hut Huts (toy solider, as Mason calls them) were able to stand their ground against her. You see, someone has had a loose tooth for a few days & could barely think of anything else ~ other than the magical tooth fairy. So…
