I saw a video today that I think everyone should see! The story behind it is so cool I can’t wait to gather the boys around the computer and fill them in. Sean Forbes is deaf but that has never prevented him from loving music and even playing the drums! He has created D-Pan which … Read more

I just added Josh Wilson’s “Savior Please” to my iPod running mix. I love it!! It’s my new favorite song and I can’t get it out of my head. I thought it would be tough to keep my stride because the song starts slow, but something about it just works! The lyrics take on a … Read more

Happy Monday! We had a crazy, busy weekend but it was wonderful. My dad and I took Gabriel to the batting cages over the weekend to practice. This is a new world for me and I have to remember FUN is the objective. While we were there, I was talking to another mom who said … Read more

Yesterday was quite an adventure. We got hit with a big snow storm and major accumulation. Aside from my wild ride home from work (thank you Lord for protection on the roads), we did have a fun afternoon. The boys worked on a fort, tossed snowballs, and mom and dad shoveled (ohhhh my aching back)! … Read more

Len showed me this cool video today and I had to share! I actually thought it was real….for a few seconds. These tricks are sweet!:) Pretty cool technology.

I ran across a neat story about a dad’s great idea! He talks about his son’s 13th birthday and a way to celebrate his “passage into manhood” . Here is a quick preview: “I’m inviting five men to join him at a special birthday dinner at a restaurant. During our meal, each man will have … Read more

A few months ago I posted that we were getting Gabriel an ant farm for Christmas. I never would’ve imagined being psyched about insects but I have to admit, they are pretty cool! At least when they are contained and not freely roaming my home.:) Gabe was giddy to get his ants but they are … Read more

It’s a fantastic site with tips, coupons, and samples that add up to….zero!:) All good items at no charge. Thanks Grammie, good one!:) The other big … Read more

How sweet is this?! It’s a 3-d baby ticker. For pregnant mommies, you can add this to your e-mails, or blog. Just type in your due date and a few other details and voila! You have a floating, growing baby to remind you of your little miracle! The entire website is very cute and interactive. … Read more

Our Family Fun magazine arrived in the mail this week and was loaded with great ideas (as usual). I have to admit that I normally just enjoy the artistic ability of other moms and their kids but don’t attempt the crafts unless I have all the supplies handy (which isn’t often). I always seem to … Read more
