Ah snap.

(To state the obvious) I haven’t really been posting much lately.  Its not for a lack of wanting to, its mostly contributed to a lack of physically sitting down and doing it.  I feel like I have been streaming consciously tons of ideas I have been dying to write about but when it comes time [...]

Sunday Snapshot [7.12.09]

Today’s title really should be “Room with a view FAIL”.  At the beginning of the year they began construction on the main road that runs through our neighborhood.  It has since worked its way down to our section of the road.  We live on the corner of the main road and a residential street and [...]

Birthday Photo Shoot

I finally recieved my CD from the photographer of Mirabelle’s 2nd birthday photos.  The shoot went better than I could have imagined.  For 30 bucks she spent fifteen minutes with her, we did 2 different outfits, and she allowed her to walk around while capturing her in her natural state.  She gave us all the [...]

Sunday Snapshot (3.22.09)

Friday night when my husband got home from work Mirabelle was so excited to see her Daddy!  We had had a great day together and after spending much of the beginning of the week couped up in the house she was enjoying all the adventuresome fun we had been having on Thursday and Friday together.  [...]

Snapshot Sunday (3.15.09)

The other day I purchased a great find.  Its just about the best tasting apple butter ever!  I am super picky about my daughter’s diet..particularly her sugar intake but I decided to let her share in my indulgence.  She was also quite impressed!

2009 To Do List

I know the whole “New Year’s Resolutions” thing is very cliche and most say its an unhealthy practice since they are often comprised of unattainable goals that are usually tossed aside come February.  But, this year..I am making a To Do list which I like to think is different from resolutions.  The difference is that [...]
