Qade has been learning about consequences recently. He has always experienced consequences, but now he’s learning that they can be a direct result of his own choices. I do think that making that connection is an important part of training munchkins. The “Little Thoughts” books have been a great tool in opening different discussions about …

Lad’s room makeover
I told you before that my brother came out over New Years and helped us by painting the lad’s room. They had really outgrown the two-tone green. These colors fit them much better and the posters that Stu made are perfect! We just need one of Mater for the space on the other “red wall” …
Meat
I am not a frugalista by any stretch of the imagination. I can’t spend hours clipping coupons, comparing store fliers, and printing online discounts. It’s not in my makeup, though I tip my hats to those people who can do it. I know they get a rush from saving so much, and while I like …
Our Day
Today was a whoosh! Thanks in part to two great phone conversations I got to have with friends! Thanks Mirm, and Rach for chatting today! It always helps me feel more “alive” to have a good adult conversation, even if they are peppered with instructions to the kids who angelically like to take advantage of …
My girl
Someone may get tired of seeing these close up “eye” pictures of Ella, but it won’t be me. 🙂 She’s just so sweet, and I love getting right in her face with the camera and trying to catch some of those flitting baby expressions. Love it!!
Diet for this week
As I’ve told you before, I just can’t ‘diet.’ I start to think about food ALL the time when I decide that I’m “on” a diet. So I’m going to fool my brain into thinking I’m not on a diet, but I am going to plan out my meals for this week better so that …
Weigh in week 5
Bah-humbug!! I think the first few weeks of stellar weight loss were just taunting me! 🙂 I did re-lose the 2 pounds that I gained back last week. SO that is good, I know. But when I think about the fact that I am now at the same place I was TWO WEEKS ago, it’s …
Aperture Brushes
So Stu got me Aperture 3 and I have had it for awhile, but only JUST installed it. First I kinda forgot about it, and then the disk reader on my iMac went out so I couldn’t, then…. but wait, you don’t need all those details. Ha! Just know that NOW it is installed and …
As promised
Here’s a non-Ella picture for you! Ha ha ha!! I know you all love seeing her sweet baby cheeks too! BUT I have to say that I think this is a way cool picture! I took this in the candle light the week before New Years when our power went out. It went out before …
This’n That
Whew-ee, my workout tonight was a killer! Ugh! I sure hope it starts to pay off in a big way because it’s hard to do! I rode the bike today too for a few minutes. But that was mostly because this morning I simply could NOT get warm! It’s been SOOOO cold here! As in …
